Chips Apple Silicon used in Macs since 2020 are described by many users as revolutionary, but it is certainly not possible to say that they are perfect in every way. Owners of machines with the basic version of these chips – i.e. M1 or M2 – have complained quite a lot in the past, for example, that their Apple officially supports only one external display connection (except for Mac mini, to which two can be connected). Many would therefore expect the Californian giant to learn from this criticism and offer support for at least two monitors "as standard" in the third generation of its chips. However, this nesthello.
Although the newly introduced chips appear Apple M3 is quite interesting on paper, but the reality is that, like their previous two generations, they only support one external display, specifically in 6K resolution at 60Hz. Graphically, these chips have made quite a significant improvement compared to previous generations, and the same can be said about CPU performance. Moreover, given that the M2 chip already allows Applu on the basic M2 on the Mac mini projecting an image on two external displays, where one can run in 6K and the other in 5K, it is more than likely that technically it should be possible Apple able without much difficulty. After all, even now it is possible to connect more than the official number of external displays to basic Macs in an unofficial way (specifically via the DisplayLink reduction).

It's quite a shame, isn't it Apple in this direction, it did not listen to the calls of its users, and in the third generation of the basic chip of the M series, it does not offer the possibility to use the connection of two external ports, even for devices with a built-in display. After all, in three years with chips Apple Silicon have moved quite fundamentally and therefore it does not make much sense to stay in one place in terms of supporting external monitors, i.e. miniat least from our point of view. View Applu is obviously different and "incompatible" with ours, for whatever reason.
I know, but that's politics. applu, not that it's not possible... they determine the rules - if you want, buy a higher model... a simple market rule - don't put everything in the basic model, I won't sell you better models... apple he simply set it up and that's it... not that he didn't solve it, he really solved it... 🤓
Did you notice that Mac Mini doesn't it have an internal display? Just always two in the basic series 🤪
Mr. Filip, he doesn't want to deal with it and doesn't want to listen to customers' calls, but this is simply called business. He simply assumes that those who buy classics are not demanding and do not need more monitors. And a professional or a company will buy a better model….
What will he buy a better model for? It can handle everything, except this basic thing. Two external monitors are already standard everywhere. This is called omrd, not business.
So I don't think that 2 external monitors are needed by people who are satisfied with the basic model.
Most can get by with one external one, and if they need a second one - here and there - they use the built-in display.
On a regular basisancThe basic model is enough for the office agenda and two monitors are a standard that no one would change. Why do I even have such a basic thing? Apple dictate what I need?
