>So this, like the M1 supports only ONE external display.. so as long as you live the lopsided big-small life, sure.

Oh no, you're breaking my heart. Is there no adapter you can buy that splits that 6k thunderbolt bandwidth into two smaller external displays? Okay I just googled, and it looks like there are third party DisplayLink which sort of maybe work, but are not officially supported? But people SEEM to have dual 4k monitors working?

I’m using a Dell D6000 hub with two 4K screens using display link and one iMac 5K with a luna dongle. So 4 screens in total with the MacBook Pro M1 with 8gb and all screens at 60hz. Everything is fluid with a web stack (node, angular and tools like Vscode, DB, slack etc). The only thing that puts it on its knees is when I share a screen with some apps. The buffers might not be done the right way. Otherwise it works surprisingly well !

DisplayLink is an actual USB graphics card. You also won't get any acceleration as far as I know, all you have is a dumb framebuffer there.
