Apple revealed the 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 (2022) during the WWDC22 keynote. This welcome addition to the Mac line is missing the cutout design we saw on the MacBook Pro (2021). If you prefer to use repaired Macs, you can get a refurbished unit for cheaper. Other than that, the M2 is a solid choice for those who don’t mind the classic, retro chassis. If you’ve bought a MacBook Pro 13 (2022), you must be wondering how many external monitors it supports. Here’s what you need to know regarding this particular issue.
Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) and external displays
External displays are a great way to multitask and unleash the full potential of your MacBook Pro 13 (2022). The more screens you have, the more content you can view at the same time – without having to switch between endless windows and tabs. Unfortunately, the MacBook Pro M2 only supports one external display. So you can use the built-in monitor with an additional monitor, and that’s it.
Apple states that external display support is compatible with 6K displays at 60Hz. It’s not perfect, but it works for many people. If you need more external displays or support for higher resolutions, you’ll want to skip the MacBook Pro (2022) and look at other Mac models.
Notably, the MacBook Pro M2 only has two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack. So make sure you buy a suitable dongle if your external monitor is connected via HDMI. If you’re not picky about the size and quality of the external display, you can use your compatible iPad as a wireless external display through Apple’s Sidecar feature. It works instantly, and allows you to use the Apple Pencil on macOS.
The 2022 13-inch MacBook Pro offers a classic design, reintroduces the Touch Bar, and packs an M2 chip.
