Hello all,
I just got a Macbook Air M1 from my company, and have 2 external monitors (HP) from my previous laptop. I am able to connect one, using HDMI to a USB-C cable, but I am not able to connect another monitor, and the laptop does not recognize it.
What can I do to be able to run two external monitors at the same time?
Thanks!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Thank you. That's a bummer...
Understandable. Product design is a study in compromises. Nothing can do everything, and if you need to use multiple external monitors with a portable Mac then you need a heavier, bulkier, more expensive MacBook Pro.
