Apple Silicon MacBooks with M1 / M2 / M3 Standard chips support only one external display via Thunderbolt. MacBooks with M1 / M2 / M3 Pro or Max chips, and all M4 models, support dual displays. M4 MacBooks with Thunderbolt 5 do not support three displays over a single Thunderbolt 5 connection.
5.Very few laptops support connecting three external monitors to this docking station via two Thunderbolt downstream ports and either an HDMI or a DisplayPort.
6. Use only the included Thunderbolt 5 cable or certified Thunderbolt 5 cables. Using uncertified or incompatible cables may cause incompatibility issues.
