Quote from QuestorJones :
Just remember that (out of the box) you can only use an external monitor to MIRROR the laptop screen… You can't add a second/third monitor unless you have some kind of USB-C to HDMI/DP that can *internally* handle additional displays…. Meaning you need more than just a converter/splitter, which can get a bit pricey.

To have multi-monitor capability out of the box you need to buy an Apple laptop with either a PRO or MAX Apple CPU… which generally means a Macbook Pro.

Of course most decent windows machines can do at least one additional monitor as an extension of the laptop display (not limited to mirroring)… oftentimes they can handle even more with simple/cheap usbc to hdmi dongles.

This, MacBook Air is great overall… I just wanted to mention that limitation because a lot of people are unaware of it… And of course, the memory and hard disk are not expendable at all on these… but otherwise it's a decent price for an M2 Air.

The M1 I am on right now has a second screen via USBC cable. You mean a THIRD screen, right? Pretty sure that's the limitation, not that you cannot have a second monitor.

This is the best laptop I've ever owned. Super long battery, plays nice with the apple world and is very light.

I don't think that's right about the monitor, you can extend to at least one external display natively. Source: Me. Looking at my laptop with one monitor connected to the USBC port.

I have M1 air and nothing-special dell monitor with USB-C. I can use external monitor. Yes, only up to one, but there is nothing special about it.

I have this and it's as fast as needed for the majority of people. I daytrade so I keep multiple TOS charts up simultaneously and this Mac handles it no problem. It's also not unusual for me to have 50 chrome tabs open at the same time.

As far as the external monitor I'm not sure why that was the first big bold comment when it's untrue. I have a 32" external monitor that I simply plug in with a $10 DP to USB-C cable and it's the same as having two screens anywhere else, it's not a mirror, but an extra screen
