Can you be more specific? I dock my M1 Air to a 4k display all the time.

Dock it to two - the M1 can only handle one external display; the previous Intel MacBook Pros could do four; and the M1 Max brings this back. I have four external monitors + the internal and the M1 couldn't do it; the M1 Max can so I held out.

(You can do a hacky thing with DisplayLink adapters that emulate a virtual screen somehow but it IS hacky - https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/19166... )
