Hi,
I am contemplating using two external monitors to use with my 2017 13” MBP. My goal would be to have the laptop closed, and have the two screens working as one “extended” display - I.e. I do not want both to simply mirror what is on the built-in display. Is this possible?
Many thanks.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Thank you - I am aware as to what extended desktop is and that connecting to two external monitors is possible via cable. The question was about whether it was possible wirelessly but it seems like, sadly, the answer is "no"!
Airplay to 2 external monitors
