What are specs of Mac Studio and Mac mini?

After some quick research online,

1. 144Hz should be supported by Mac Studio with M2 Max (or above) or by Mac Mini with M2 Pro (or above, when it's released). It is my understanding that no other Mac Studios or Mac Minis support it.

2. True Tone, again from limited research, is limited to Apple-made displays only.

The number of external displays you can use at the same time depends on your Mac model and the resolution and refresh rate of each display.

Use True Tone on Mac – Apple Support (UK)

True Tone technology in a Mac computer with Retina display, Apple Studio Display, Studio Display XDR and Pro Display XDR uses advanced multichannel sensors to adjust the colour and intensity of your display and Touch Bar to match the ambient light, so images appear more natural.

True Tone appears to only work on non-Apple external displays if they are connected to a MacBook Pro or an iMac per this article.

144MHz refresh support requires the HDMI 2.1 port on the M2 Mac Studio or M2 PRO Mac mini.
