Hi everyone,
I have a MacBook Air 2017 and have two HP E233 external screens. I also have a StarTech hub. Is it possible to use the hub and either the 2 x USB or 1 x Thunderbolt 2 (or a combination of both) to connect them and off so what do I need?
Thanks in advance for any help
I also have a 2017 MacBook Air and it only accepts a single screen hooked up to the Thunderbolt 2 Port. That's also what Apple says the Air supports. I have a 1080p screen hooked up through a minidisplay to HDMI converter cable.

Video Support
Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840-by-2160 resolution at 60Hz on an external display, both at millions of colors
So 2 screens at the same time isn't going to work (only the built in screen and 1 external).

Only the 2018, 2019 and 2020 Intel MacBook Air models support two external displays. Pre-2018 and the new M1 models support only one external display.
