I'm looking into external monitors and want to make sure they work. I can't find an answer to my question anywhere. People always have an answer for Pro or air but not strictly "Macbook". Here's the question:
Can my 2017 Macbook support 2 external monitors with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 75 hz?
Thanks!
MacBook, macOS 13.7
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017) - Technical Specifications - Apple Support
One external monitor.
“Dual display and video mirroring: simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 4096-by-2304 resolution at 60Hz on an external display, both at millions of colors.”
Note that the USB-C ports on the 12” Retina MacBooks support DisplayPort, but not Thunderbolt. You can use plain USB-C docks with these Macs, but you cannot use Thunderbolt docks with them.
