external monitors
Own 3 standard VGA monitors (1920 x 1080) ; looking to purchase either a 2020 13" M1 MacBook or a 16" i9 MacBook; is there a way for either of these MacBooks to support 3 external monitors ?
MacBook
The 16" MacBook Pro can do it.
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) - Technical Specifications
"Up to four displays with 4096‑by‑2304 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colors"
The M1 laptops support only one external display.
