Hello Dual-Displays.Now on your M1, M2, M3 and M4 Mac.
Oh and BTW… it works with USB-C and Thunderbolt Macs & PCs too!
When the M1 Macs first launched on the scene, we loved the promise of processing power that rivaled higher-end and more expensive pro laptops, along with cool-running performance that sipped on electrons like a video editor slowly sipping hot, hot coffee in the waning hours of the night to achieve that elusive edit. What we didn’t like… the lack of dual-display connectivity that Mac enthusiasts across the planet have enjoyed for countless years.
Now, we know not everyone needs the capability to expand out their workspace with dual-display, pixel-multiplying nirvana for editing videos, seeing more of your workflow at once, fine-tuning vast photography sessions, or creating the ultimate digital signage to wow passersby with catchy visuals. But for those like you that do — you can now experience dual-display ooey-gooey goodness on your M1, M2 and M3 Mac. Even more… you can charge/power your laptop via the USB-C pass-thru charging port (which we thought would be a supa-nice feature). After all, as the makers of the #1 docks for Macs, we love freeing up more of your ports too.
