Reminder: Apple MacBook Pro with basic M3 chip only supports one external monitor.

CTOnews.com November 1 news, Apple held yesterday's "Fast coming" theme event, launched a new MacBook Pro product line with M3 series, although the performance has been improved, but the basic M3 chip still supports only one external monitor, which may affect the willingness of some users to buy.

Since Apple launched the MacBook product with M1 chip, what has often been criticized by users is that it can only be connected to one monitor. Apple subsequently released M1 Pro and M1 Max chips to achieve the support of external 2max 3 monitors.
