    Can't edit anymore: this also applies to the M2 MBP, and both of them could get this feature in a software update like the M3 MBP. But it's unlikely, because of greed.

    The M2 MacBooks should also get that because the hardware supports it. The M2 Mac mini allows to connect 2 displays over USB-C if you don't use the HDMI port.

    The 2 display limitation is for the base model Mx. The Mx Pro supports 3 displays and the Max 5. All three numbers are for internal+external displays.

    The MBA still can't handle more than 2 displays, though. It only supports 2 displays when it's closed.

    Unfortunately it isn't. There are only two display controllers in the M1/2/3 and that can't be worked around in software. MST won't work in Asahi Linux because it's not present in …

    A non-downvoted and non-flagged comment that directly parrots russian propaganda with no sources whatsoever. How wonderful!

    That your comment is neither flagged or downvoted, while some supporting Ukraine are downvoted or both, shows whose side HN is on. Very sad.
