You can turn that 13in laptop screen into an iMac-sized 27in or even larger monitor by adding an extra display -or connect two large screens to extend your screen across your whole desk.
If you use your laptop as your principal computer, you would do well to consider attaching at least one larger display to create a hybrid desktop/laptop setup (with a keyboard, mouse and printer all available via a single connection to your MacBook). We have included some cheaper USB-C docks -if you don’t require the ultimate bandwidth for the fastest data transfer and best screen frame rates or resolutions, a USB-C dock might suit your purposes and save you money.

That said, there are still some great TB3 docks available, and most Apple users won’t see much difference between TB3 and TB4 -the Thunderbolt 4 standard was mainly about getting Windows laptops up to speed, although there are technical benefits for MacBook Pro users, such as smarter daisy-chaining and faster PCI hard-drive connections. Once an adapter is introduced, the game is over.If your MacBook is equipped with Thunderbolt 4, then you really should buy a TB4 dock if you need more ports than those 14/16in laptops already possess.īuying a Thunderbolt 4 dock is a wise decision based on future-proofing even for owners of TB3 Macs as the standard is backwards compatible with TB3 and USB-C. You can daisy chain multiple native Thunderbolt monitors on a single port. I don't know for sure, but I suspect this refers to monitors using the DisplayPort Alternate Mode on the Thunderbolt 3 chain. You can read more about DisplayPort MST technology atĬurrently (April 2021), each Mac Thunderbolt 3 port supports only one display per Thunderbolt 3 port, and it needs to be the last one in the Thunderbolt 3 chain.

If you run Windows 10 on the exact same Mac hardware, multiple monitors within the DisplayPort bandwidth work flawlessly as an extended desktop. Presumably, Apple regards MST Hub as a legacy, dead-end technology.
Only Thunderbolt chained monitors are supported. Unfortunately, macOS does not support DisplayPort MST Hub. Without MST Hub support, multiple external monitors on the dock can only act as mirrors of each other.

This technique allows multiple external monitors to act as extended screen area as long as the hardware and driver support MST Hub. The ThinkPad Docks use the DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport (MST) Hub standard on the two exposed DisplayPort ports.
Use of the dock still doesn't increase the available video bandwidth of the Thunderbolt/DisplayPort port even if the machine itself has the capability. Unfortunately, you can't daisy chain monitors from a single port you must use separate ones. However, as you've already discovered, if you connect them separately, it works. Yes in that the MacBook Pro (as opposed to the MacBook) can support more than 1 external monitor. I should specify that my MacBook is actually MacBook Pro (15-inch, So, the mirroring you are seeing is expected behavior. The Lenovo C-Dock doesn't enable your MacBook to supply more display bandwidth than Apple provides. Resolution on the built-in display and up to 4096-by-2304 resolutionĪt 60Hz on an external display, both at millions of colors

Per the tech specs:ĭual display and video mirroring: simultaneously supports full native In other words, it will only support one external monitor. The MacBook only supports dual displays including the built in display.
