Apple's 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 chip inside is Adan (2019) Full Pinoy Moviegetting a key feature, often requested by professional users, via a software update.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro can be had with either an Apple M3 chip, an M3 Pro chip, or an M3 Max chip. But only the variants with the M3 Pro and M3 Max chip support two external displays. Per Apple's support document on the matter, the MacBook Pro with the M3 chip supports either one display up to 6K at 60Hz over Thunderbolt, or one display up to 4K at 144Hz over HDMI.

This created an odd discrepancy, as Apple's new MacBook Air models, which also feature the M3 chip, support two displays (the lid of the laptop itself must however be closed).
