Can't edit anymore: this also applies to the M2 MBP, and both of them could get this feature in a software update like the M3 MBP. But it's unlikely, because of greed.
The base M3, it will gain this feature in a software update.

The M2 MacBooks should also get that because the hardware supports it. The M2 Mac mini allows to connect 2 displays over USB-C if you don't use the HDMI port.
The 2 display limitation is for the base model Mx. The Mx Pro supports 3 displays and the Max 5. All three numbers are for internal+external displays.
I don't think many people use a laptop with an external display without closing the lid. Laptops are terrible for ergonomics and the only solutions are using a stand with a separate keyboard and mouse or closing the lid…
The MBA still can't handle more than 2 displays, though. It only supports 2 displays when it's closed.
Unfortunately it isn't. There are only two display controllers in the M1/2/3 and that can't be worked around in software. MST won't work in Asahi Linux because it's not present in the hardware. It worked on x86 Macs…
I think the parent meant the opposite: why buy an Air and not Pro?

A non-downvoted and non-flagged comment that directly parrots russian propaganda with no sources whatsoever. How wonderful!
That your comment is neither flagged or downvoted, while some supporting Ukraine are downvoted or both, shows whose side HN is on. Very sad.

Just look at the facts. russians aren't bombing civillian areas because they are legitimate targets, but because they want to and are encouraged to kill as many civillians as possible. How do you explain Bucha? Were the…
