However, when we start looking for a docking station that has 2-3 video outputs, in the description we often find a note or graphics that in the case of Mac OS and M1 / M2 processors the image on all displays will be the same, because MST (Multi-Stream Transport).įortunately, there is a way to take advantage of multiple screens regardless of how much our Mac supports.

#MACBOOK AIR DUAL MONITOR PRO#

The new MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors has no problem connecting several screens. How do I connect multiple displays to my MacBook M1 Pro and M1 Max via the docking station?

work in daisy-chain mode, which allows you to connect several screens in series, where one monitor transmits a video signal to the next and each displays something different.

work in HUB mode, where one DP cable can divide the signal into several more, also others such as HDMI.

Multi-Stream Transport is a feature of DisplayPort 1.2 or later that allows you to transmit several video signals through one DisplayPort port (DisplayPort, this is one of the standards that is included in the Thunderbolt connector / () Unfortunately, not every DP 1.2 port and later supports MST, so it’s worth paying attention to in the graphics card specifications

Mac Studio with M1 Pro chip supports up to 5 displays connected via Thunderbolt or HDMI.

MacBook Pro 14/16 M1 Max – 3 60Hz display connected to the Thunderbolt port (6k) and 1 connected to the HDMI port (4k), for a total of 4 displays.

MacBook Pro 14/16 M1 Pro – 2 x 60Hz display connected to a Thunderbolt (6k) or HDMI (4k) port.

Mac mini M1 – 1 6k display to 60Hz connected to the Thunderbolt port and 1 4K 60Hz display to the HDMI port.

MacBook Air and iMac with M1/M2 chip – 1 6K 60Hz display connected to the Thurberbolt port.

How many displays will a Mac with an M1/M2 processor support? If you find it, in the Video Support or Graphics section you will find the exact number and type of displays that a given mac supports. We can also find our computer on our own.

Then we go to the Technical Data page with the specifications of Apple equipment and paste through CMD + V our serial number. To check this you need to go to the Apple menu  > This Mac and double-click on the serial number, then CMD + C to copy it. If you’re not sure how many external displays you can connect to your Apple computer, it’s a simple way. How many displays can I connect to an Apple computer? MacBook Air with MagSafe 3 connector and two Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 ports. These are the entry-level products and Apple wants big fat gross margins on the units they move the most.įor sure, this paves the way for an M2 Pro SoC with more cores (CPU, graphics, machine learning), more RAM, and maybe even a little more memory bandwidth.Check on MacBook Air M2 with MagSafe 3 connectorīy landing the MacBook Air M2 through the MagSafe 3 connector, we can connect two DisplayLink adapters. Assuming they move the iPad Pro to the M2, again the power considerations are of paramount importance since you really don't want to put a fan in a tablet.Ĭost? More transistors = more cost. For sure, Apple's M Silicon design team specifically targeted the MacBook Air as the primary hardware platform. That would be a waste because you'd be paying for extra performance but not having that available except for a small window of time.Įspecially for a notebook computer, ideally the system can run at the silicon's maximum performance with the thermal solution for that particular system. Too much heat and the system will throttle on an extended workload. In particular, the Air is fanless so the heat envelope is a serious consideration.

Remember that M-series SoCs include the RAM in the package, not as separate chips like on Windows 圆4 PCs. There are also power/heat and cost considerations as well. My guess is that Apple believes that most usage cases for the Air and lower-end MB Pro units are sufficiently served with 24GB of RAM (8GB for graphics, 16GB for applications).

The upgrade to 24 or 32 GB is the same price. Why 24? So it is less than the 32GB on the MBP. Marketing still controlling SOC design I see.ĭitto the 24GB of RAM.
