We know perfectly well how good Apple processors from the M1 family are. These systems used in Apple MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini computers, apart from their advantages, unfortunately have some limitations. One of the most visible restrictions is the ability to work only on two displays. In the case of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops, this means that you can only connect one external monitor, while you can only connect two monitors to a Mac mini. Unfortunately, this amount is sometimes insufficient for smooth and comfortable operation. Newer Apple MacBook Pro and Mac Studio models no longer have this issue. Newer Apple chips, i.e. M1 Pro and M1 Max, have an increased number of simultaneously connected displays.
What should users of Apple MacBook Air and Mac mini computers with the M1 chip do? You can connect the Sonnet Display Link Dual DisplayPort or Sonnet Display Link Dual HDMI interface and enjoy three displays.
For Apple MacBook Air and Apple MacBook Pro computers, we can connect two additional monitors with a 4K resolution each, and for an Apple Mac mini computer, a third - one additional monitor - with a 4K resolution. And all this using only one USB or Thunderbolt port.
Another interesting fact is that when connecting monitors with a resolution of 1440p, the refresh rate of these displays can be as high as 144Hz. At 4K it is 60Hz
About Sonnet DisplayLink Dual:
The Sonnet DisplayLink Dual HDMI or DisplayPort Adapter supports Apple Mac computers with M1 processors - Mac mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro and allows you to connect two additional monitors with a resolution of up to 4K/60Hz.
The adapter is also compatible with Mac computers with Intel, M1Pro and M1Max processors and with Windows computers and USB or Thunderbolt ports.
Connect up to three monitors to an Apple Mac mini with an M1 processor
Simply download and install the DisplayLink Manager software, connect two monitors to the Sonnet adapter, and connect the adapter to your computer. Connect a third monitor to your Mac mini's built-in HDMI port. Finally, configure the settings to extend your desktop on connected displays. And since your computer is powered by the Sonnet adapter, there is no need to connect an additional power supply.
Not just for 4K displays. The adapter supports Full HD displays and audio output
While the Sonnet DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter for Mac M1 supports two monitors with resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160), it can also be used to connect monitors with lower resolutions, higher frame rates, such as 1440p or 1080p @ 144 Hz – this makes it perfect for various home and work applications. Because audio support is built into the Sonnet adapter, you don't need to connect a separate cable to hear audio from your connected monitors.
The Sonnet adapter is compatible with all Mac computers (macOS 10.15+) and computers with Windows 11 or 10
The DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter from Sonnet is ideal for Mac M1 computers and Mac or Windows computers with Intel® processors with a USB 3 or USB-C interface.
Sonnet also works 100% with M2 and M3 processors
