If you need more than 1 external display you go with an M1 Pro or M1 Max. They support 2 and 4 screens respectively. Buying an entry level model and expecting it to come with higher end features is a user issue, not a product issue.
- sofixa 4y agoHigher end features that any other OS on the same hardware supports (this includes DP daisy chaining over non-Thundrbolt)?
- esskay 4y agoNo other OS on the hardware would support it as the M1 has physical limitations. You're in luck though, the M2 MBP's look to be releasing tomorrow.
- nottorp 4y agoHm one display connection seems to be reserved for the HDMI port if there is one. Considering how much trouble I tend to have with HDMI ports, that means the M1 Pro only supports ... one external display.
- esskay 4y agoWell...no it supports two. Mines litterally sitting on my desk right now plugged into 2 screens and has been for ~4 months. A you issue doesnt make it an issue with the product ;)
- nottorp 4y agoSure but can i do 2 x usb-c to displayport? Every time I plug something via hdmi in my current mac it tells me its a tv. Fortunately being Intel i can use 2x usb-c instead.
