macOS 14.6 finally brings dual exterior display assistance to the M3 MacBook Pro

Apple launched on Monday the macOS Sonoma 14.6 upgrade that consists of an entire number of protection spots in addition to bug fixes, so you must install it as soon as possible. However if you have an entry-level M3 MacBook Pro, there’s an additional factor for installing the upgrade right away.

Sonoma 14.6 includes the capability for the 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro to run 2 external display screens approximately 5K at 60Hz (as an example, 2 Apple Workshop Displays)– the same ability that was formerly made available for the M3 MacBook Air. Before the update, non-Pro/Max MacBook Pro models can run just one outside display screen, though Apple guaranteed assistance in March.

However, the two display assistance does include a compromise. The MacBook Pro has to be in what is often called “clamshell” setting with the cover closed to power both displays. When the MacBook Pro is opened, among the displays obtains separated when the laptop display switches on. The outside displays also must support a video connection over USB-C or Thunderbolt 3.
