Many people may use Apple products for the home office. If your device is Apple product (except Macbook since Macbook is with Type-C port), you need to use other lightning adaptors to convert the plug into HDMI. HDMI is recommended because if you convert the plug into Type-C, we are not sure whether your adaptor is supporting data transfer. Most of them are just supporting charging but not data transfer. Thus, if you want to adopt XScreen portable display for your Apple product, adaptor converting into HDMI will be better. (The adaptor needs to connect with a power supply.) If you don't want to use an adaptor, you can use the Wireless version of XScreen.
Not all USB-C ports support video output. If you want to check whether your device is compatible with XScreen portable monitor, you can refer to the list HERE to see whether it supports video output over Type-C cable. If you still confuse about it, you can contact us for further inquiries.
If you find that your device does not support USB-C video output, wireless version of XScreen may be more suitable for you.
For Windows 10, they can enable touch screen features as well if they are connecting via HDMI. you can add the USB A to Type-C cable as well.
