Is it possible to have 2 monitors attached to my MacBook Air (2018) 1.6 ghz dual core intel i5? I didn't see any plus sign to add a second like in videos I've seen - or rather, it wasn't listed, even after. I held down option key.
Earlier Mac models
2nd Display Support: Dual/Mirroring*. 2nd Max. Resolution: 5120x2880 (5K)*
Details:*. This model supports full native resolution on the interior display in addition to
a single 5120x2880 (5K) display up to 60 Hz or
as many as two external displays up to 4096x2304 (4K) up to 60 Hz.

Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:
Thunderbolt 3 digital video output
MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018) - Technical Specifications - Apple Support
BUT: it looks like you have only two Thunderbolt ports to charge and run displays. That could be a problem. You might need a Dock or a display that provides substantial Power Delivery.
NB>> The Mac supports TWO displays on one cable ONLY when the Port, the Cable, and the first device (Dock or Display) are all genuine Thunderbolt. USB-C cables support ONE display, maximum.

Grant - thank you for the help- the splitter I had can also supply power and I have the old single display adapter. They work in tandem. Thank you!!
Can I connect two monitors to my MacBook Air (2018)?
