Dude I think you need to do a little research. I am typing this to you on my M1 Max with 4 monitors…2 of them are at 144hz
A cursory Google search will show you that a lot of the information you threw up there is incorrect. It does seem you’re right about the air m2 model supporting only 1. However the M3 MbAir supports 2 so definitely not the case that all base Mx models support 1. Just the M1 and M2 base chip airs, and who is buying a base model M1 air in 2024? Way too long in the tooth. So functionally it’s 1 single model they have listed.
You need to reread my comment where I point out that it's only the Max chips that can drive more than two external monitors.
And bro, a cursory Google search would also bring up this page from Apple which confirms everything I wrote. A base M3 mac can only drive two monitors if the internal display is closed, i.e. it can only drive one external monitor and one internal.
“Nope. All base Mx Series Macs can only support a single external monitor in addition to their internal one.”
Contradicts what you’re saying.
“Max Series are the only ones that have proved their Maximum enough to Apple to let them use 3 monitors”
I’m using 4.
My reading comprehension is just fine.
Read up to the part of the comment where I set the context as "in addition to their internal one".
Re-read it or move on. I’m done. Feel free to have the last word. No desire to get into this endless quoting and telling each other what the other said nonsense.
