Hi Team,
Does 13-inch MacBook Pro: Apple M2 chip with 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 512GB SSD, support dual monitor, I am planning to have it.
Can you post your suggestions?
Give the folks at OWC a call and discuss your options on how to use two monitors best. Great group of people that will give you solid advice and have all the additional hardware and cables you may need.
Apple-Silicon 2020 M1 13-in MacBook Pro and Air and 2022 Apple-Silicon M2 13-in MacBook Pro and Air are extremely-capable entry-level computers. They can support the internal display AND an External display up to the previously unheard of size of the Apple 6K display at billions of colors. But only ONE in addition to the internal display.
This may not match the way older computers forced you to work, since older computers were not able to support a really large external display. But it is NOT a defect. The spec was available long before you could purchase the computer.
The Apple standard for its built-in hardware-accelerated displays, makes them suitable for full-motion video for production/display of cinema-quality video with NO dropped frames, and NO dropouts or partial-blank scan lines due to memory under-runs or other issues. This requires a hardware rasterizer/display-generator for each fully-accelerated display.
If you need more hardware-accelerated displays than the built-in and one external display, and an un-accelerated iPad if desired, you probably need a more capable computer.
If you are only doing program listings, spreadsheets, stock quotes and other slow to change data, there are some other solutions, but they require you to make some strong compromises.
Officially your MacBook Pro supports 1 external monitor. If you want to connect two external monitors, you need to get monitors which have USB-C ports and daisy chain connection.
