mcflury Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 My 2008 Mac I'm still runs great just can't open some pages anymore on account of safari not being able to update for a while now. Time to get a new Mac my son's M1 Pro can't run dual monitors. So I considering waiting for the new Mac Pro anyone think that dual monitors won't be supported.

RangerTrace Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The Mac I'm using as I type this, is a 21" made in 2010. I added some RAM several years ago. I use Chrome and it does all the internet surfing I could ever want. If I needed to print or use it for more than web browsing, I'd justify the expense of a new one. Macs are very good and last a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not use a dock, or configure the MAC using the two USB C ports for monitors? Or does it not support 2 monitors period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumor mill says the new MacBook pros will have a higher end chip and I assume it’ll handle multiple monitors cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has a hardtime with the lagging even for Roblox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
