max 2 displays (only 1 external for laptops)

I wonder if that includes AirPlay screens, or just wired.

This may work. On a 2014 macbook air, which officially only supports only one external display, I've been able to use two external screens at the same time by sharing one through airplay. However, you're always limited in resolution and latency that way.

I would imagine just wired - it's probably a lack of DisplayPort/HDMI encoders rather than rendering resources.
