Sonnet's DisplayLink Dual Display Adapters for M1 Mac computers enable users to connect two 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60Hz displays--using either DisplayPort or HDMI connections--to a single port on their computers. These adapters are Ideal for use with productivity software such as Microsoft Office, enabling users to work more efficiently by expanding their computer's workspace, whether by opening multiple applications on their own screens, editing code or viewing spreadsheets in detail on a large display, or mirroring their computer's display on a larger monitor. They can also connect a computer to a big-screen TV for browsing the web and watching videos on YouTube and other content at a distance.
The latest 13-inch Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers include only two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports for connecting peripherals (displays included), one of which is used for charging the computer. More importantly, these computers natively support only a single external display. Sonnet's DisplayLink Dual Display Adapters for M1 Mac computers overcome the computers' limitations to enable users to connect two 4K 60Hz displays at once to one port on their computer, saving the other port for charging or for connecting an additional peripheral device.

Most dual display adapters are incompatible with M1 Mac computers, only support lower-resolution displays or support just one display at a 60Hz refresh rate (the other limited to 30Hz). Sonnet's DisplayLink Dual Display Adapters for M1 Mac computers support two 4K (or lower resolutions such as 1080p) 60Hz displays, operate off power from the host computer's USB or Thunderbolt port, and are fully compatible with M1 Mac computers, other Mac computers running macOS 10.15 and later, and PCs running Windows 11 or 10.
Sonnet's DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M1 Macs (part number USB3-DDP4K) and DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter for M1 Macs (part number USB3-DHDMI) are now available from Sonnet and soon from channel partners worldwide at the suggested retail price of $149.99 each.
