You've never heard of people complaining about how "big" phones are, and wishing for a "smaller" phone? How would you measure "big" and "smaller" other than volume?

At this point wait for the M4, seems like it's going to drop in a month or so, and then get that. Though truth be told you could jump to an M4 MacBook Air and still get better performance than your Intel machine. Most people do not nee

Even the M1 Max supports up to 4 external displays, but they only support up to two display outputs per ThunderBolt port. You'd need to connect the other displays via other means (directly, or via another dock) to the Mac.
