Being able to use two external screens is practically an expectation of any laptop at this point. I can understand the OP's point that this is ridiculous.

- lynndotpy 2y ago> That's not absurd in the slightest. I think it is very absurd. It's difficult to imagine a definition of 'absurd' that wouldn't include this. The only other consumer desktop hardware I know of that can't drive two screens is the Raspberry Pi Zero. I agree with the OP on all points. The lineup is absurd (the Macbook Pro does not come with an M3 Pro). The motto "It just works" is absurd. The five-step workaround is absurd, and it's made worse given the workaround does not work.
- ffsm8 2y agoYou're just able to buy a MacBook Pro with a non-pro CPU. This capability is definitely primarily for market segmentation (the power drain isn't a realistic argument in this scenario, as the user will almost always have power available when plugged into a display)
