how many monitors can connect to a M3 MacBook Pro and how?
I can connect only one external monitor via HDMI port or Thunderbolt 4 not both in the same time. Thank you in advance for your support.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

It depends on which processor you ordered: M3, M3 Pro, or M3 Max.
14" models using the M3 support "One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz." 14" and 16" models that use the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips can support two or more external displays, depending on the processor chip (Pro or Max) and the resolutions of those displays. Details here:
MacBook Pro (14-inch, M3, Nov 2023) - Technical Specifications
MacBook Pro (14-inch, M3 Pro or M3 Max, Nov 2023) - Technical Specifications
MacBook Pro (16-inch, Nov 2023) - Technical Specifications
The MBPs with the base M3 chip have Thunderbolt 3, not Thunderbolt 4. My understanding is that this is related to their inability to drive two displays over USB-C / Thunderbolt (a feature required for Thunderbolt 4 certification).
