DisplayLink USB adapters will work around the issue by adding basically a software USB display. They work, but they have some limits to performance, resolutions/refresh and possibly some rotation (portrait) issues. Depending on what display you intend to use and for what purpose, it may work reasonably well.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?
Then she would probably be fine with it. There's a few on the market, so Google will be your friend. Find one that advertises Mac support. There's a software driver you'll have to install. Sonnet makes at least one that's advertised for the Mac, so might be a good place to start.She wouldn't be gaming or anything intensive. It is mainly just for work purposes with spreadsheets and webpages being used.

Other than the Plugable, most of those adapters on the Synaptics site aren't available. Either they are out of stock or companies like Alogic don't sell in the US.This Plugable works well. https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Usb-Laptop-Docking-Station-Dual-Monitor-Hdmi-Ethernet/dp/B07CRSH25X/

They “Work” and they’re “Reliable”… for certain definitions of those words 🤣She needs something that works and is reliable.
Can the Plugable use a Thunderbolt connection?
