  • How Apple Silicon on a M1 Mac changes monitor support and what you can connect

    Thanks for the article!

    Since everything is slightly less mobile these days I would get the new Mac mini in a heartbeat if it supported connecting two LG UltraFine 5K displays.

    Even with only 16GB of RAM.

    It’s unfortunate really

    If two or three 1920x1080 monitors are desired, I figured the Matrox QuadHead2Go might work. But then I looked up price, and unfortunately it's expensive (>$1K).

    Matrox spec says it will accept up to 8Kx8K on its DisplayPort input, so it should be possible to give it a single 6K signal, and let the Matrox "split" it across multiple monitors. (I've used the TripleHead2Go a few years ago, but don't have experience with the QuadHead2Go, so best to contact Matrox for details if you really have to have it). Too bad about that price.
    Interesting, wasn’t aware of that option. It is a bit of an overkill though...

    Combining a 5K and a 4K via HDMI would work natively but that would also be a compromise.

    Probably best to just wait a bit.

  • Apple threatened to pull Amphetamine macOS app over branding

    Love the app, hated the name ever since I switched from Caffeine.

    It’s still the coffee icon for me and I would have preferred Apple not to get involved and the name changed. Looks like we have Apple involved and the name stay. Oh well.
