![]() ![]() Officially, things are much simple in concept. The XPS 13 works with more than one display easily Considering how powerful the M2 MacBook Air is, the idea of someone wanting to connect it to multiple external displays is a no-brainer, and it remains one of the primary drawbacks of these otherwise fantastic laptops. You’ll have to spend extra money just to plug into multiple monitors, and that’s a shame. Even those who are in the music production, video editing, or graphic design industry might use multiple monitors. So, for someone who ends up with a MacBook Air, and might be wanting to work from home and have a multiple monitor setup, this is a huge loss of productivity. Depending on which route you go, the resolution and refresh rates of connected monitors will also vary. A dual HDMI adapter can be near $100, and the other options we mentioned are also priced over $100. Again, these are expensive options just to get dual display support. If you want to connect to external displays, you need to invest in a dual HDMI adapter or a DisplayLink hub that supports DisplayPort, or even a HyperDrive USB-C hub. On the M2 MacBook Air, you’re limited to one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz. These, though, are expensive upgrades over the MacBook Air and aren’t what we are here to talk about. The M1 Max chip lets you enjoy up to four external monitors, with three at 6K and one at 4K. On those models, with the M1 Pro chip, you can power two external displays, rated at either 6K resolution or 60Hz. This is a limit on most MacBooks powered by Apple silicon, with the only exceptions being the 2021 M1 MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip. ![]() So, the core part of the debate here is that the M2 MacBook Air only supports a single 4K display natively. We debated about the loss of the headphone jack on the XPS in a separate piece if you’re curious, but we’re here to talk about what truly makes the ports different between these two devices: external display support. Apple’s MacBook Air also has the benefit of MagSafe charging and a headphone jack. Then, there are two on the left side of the MacBook Air. There’s a MacBook that Apple has no right to continue selling Intel chips held back the 15-inch MacBook Air, Apple says Report: Apple’s 2024 MacBooks may face some serious shortages ![]()
