Q: Does the 12-inch macbook (Early 2015) support MST at any resoluation?

I am reviewing Using 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with your Mac - Apple Support to see if my 12-inch macbook Early 2015 can support MST at any resolution. It lists systems that can handle 60Hz, but I don't care about Hz. Basically, I am trying to see if there is any dual external monitor solution for the macbook.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 12-inch Early 2015

    Under "Supported displays and configurations" near the top of the article you attached, it explains your machine can use 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs.

    Thank you for the reply. However, it seems that I didn't speak clearly enough. I mean to have two external monitors via MST, not just one external monitor. The attached article doesn't mention non-4K or low Hz configurations, and I cannot find such an article. I just want to know if I can use MST to have two monitors, so I don't waste money on adapters.

    Graphics and Video Support

     

    Intel HD Graphics 515

    Dual display and video mirroring: simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840 by 2160 pixels at 30Hz on an external display, both at millions of colors

     

    "...an external display...," means one external display.
