MacBook Pro M1 external displays....

When will the update for the M1 chip be available to connect two monitors. I have just purchased my first MacBook Pro computer and it is disheartening to learn this cannot meet my needs in my new career.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

The first generation of the M1 (2020 13") was limited to one external screen—this is a hardware limitation. full stop.

The new (2021) 14" and 16" M1's do support more than one external screen
