If you need more than 1 external display you go with an M1 Pro or M1 Max. They support 2 and 4 screens respectively. Buying an entry level model and expecting it to come with higher end features is a user issue, not a product issue.


Higher end features that any other OS on the same hardware supports (this includes DP daisy chaining over non-Thundrbolt)?


No other OS on the hardware would support it as the M1 has physical limitations. You're in luck though, the M2 MBP's look to be releasing tomorrow.


Hm one display connection seems to be reserved for the HDMI port if there is one. Considering how much trouble I tend to have with HDMI ports, that means the M1 Pro only supports ... one external display.


Well...no it supports two. Mines litterally sitting on my desk right now plugged into 2 screens and has been for ~4 months. A you issue doesnt make it an issue with the product ;)


Sure but can i do 2 x usb-c to displayport? Every time I plug something via hdmi in my current mac it tells me its a tv. Fortunately being Intel i can use 2x usb-c instead.
