Hello UCCFARM,


Not according to this article it can't, sorry.


Use external monitors with your Mac - Apple Support

"If you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, you can connect a single external display to your Mac using one of the Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports. Docks don't increase the number of displays you can connect as an extended desktop."

Not sure how this is defensible. A lot of people screwed themselves over here and rendered millions of dollars of hardware immediately useless for anyone who “bought a computer without bothering to read the specs”. It’s an epic screw up. They should acknowledge it and fix it ASAP by buying computers that actually meet their needs.

Fixed that for you.
