There's dual monitor solutions already. Using display link as 2nd monitor, which includes its own graphics driver. Not really a clean setup. I can wait.Quote:

That really surprises me, clearly the system is capable of rendering additional displays, TB3 is certainly not the bottleneck.Quote:

I have no clue either. Read somewhere that they had to develop their own TB3 chipset and the limitation is there because of time constraints in getting it out before year end, but I'm 100% sure that's just a rumour. I'm sure I'm the exception in running MBA's and entry MBPs with multiple external monitors, so it really doesn't affect that many people, so Apple made the decision to release it this way. We keep forgetting that these are Apple's entry level laptops. It's just that the performance has moved up one wrung of the ladder where all of a sudden people with more specific needs are wanting to get them, which is why the single monitor output is all of a sudden in the spotlight.Quote:

Just because kenny and I live with it on the MBP i5 because of hardware budget constraints, true power users wouldn't accept them as usable IMO.
I actually have an ancient one that fits the description. Let me power it up.Quote:

It’s still a limitation. We used to use display link on windows laptops to drive large number of displays past the laptops limitations as well. I mean it’s not an issue at home, but it’s an issue for general use docks at the office where anyone can plug into because they all have to be configured properly before it can be used.Quote:

They have to have reason for you to buy the 16" MBP with M1X next year.Quote:

Picked up the last M1 MBA today. Apple layout and commands are weird man.
Now my problem is that I can't get any of the dmg files to open. Double clicking on the files does nothing. Can't even install the jre package. Help? lol
looks like JRE needs Intel based chip?Quote:

for some dmg files, once you run them, they might just get mounted and you should see the installer on the desktop
Nothing happens when I click on the dmg file or open with diskimagemounter. Is this a Rosetta thing?Quote:

Bootcamp doesn't work on the new chip but someone has just recently done it. Turns out that it needs a bunch of OS updates.
The lack of my number 1 productivity tool, MS Paint, is killing me.
Thanks tips lmaoQuote:
