The m3 mbp is getting macos update to match MBA m3 display support, so you'll get 2 external displays with lid closed too.

Really? I just recently tried out (and took a photo of) an m2 macbook pro with 2k displays attached, lid open and screen mirroring on. 4 screens with 60“ tv in the distance. Would that really not work on an m3 mac?

The M2 supports two native display outputs. If you have more than that you must be using janky Displaylink dongles.

The M1 Max supports many more, so it might depend on which M2 you have.

I assume you have the M2 Pro or M2 Max chip? Otherwise it shouldn't work.

I can do 4 monitors with my lid closed with my Dell XPS 13. It is crazy to see an Apple Laptop that costs $2000+ cannot do a laptop that costs $1000. People with money really don't know how to shop.

It is also possible they consider other factors besides one additional external monitor.

For the crappy base model. + Tax + Apple accessories like adaptors and docks.
