    M1 MBP with dual monitors?

    So I've got a co-worker with a 2020 M1 13" MBP. I understand that it cannot support dual monitors. However, I am under the impression that there are work-arounds? Has anyone tried these?

    Apps open in another monitor?

    I'm using a dual display setup. Any time I open a second window of a running app it opens it up in another monitor. Is there a setting I can change within Preferences so that all new windows get opened in the active monitor? Thanks!

    I currently have a 2014 MBPr 13" and want to run Dual external monitors but I am not sure if it can handle it.

I checked the Activity...
