You’ll be absolutely fine. I had 4 desktops with outlook (10-20 emails), two teams instances, 5-10 excels, 5-10 PowerPoints, safari (2 or 3 tabs), chrome (1 tab), iMessage & Sonos controller open constantly.

Sometime a 5 sec delay logging in from Lock Screen or disconnecting from HDMI (4k screen) but otherwise actual use was flawless.

Ta. What’s the thinking with the 13” having only two Thunderbolt / USB4 ports? My 2019 has four and I use all of them all of the time (network / iPhone / two external monitors).

Guess you can buy a very expensive USB4 splitter to get another four ports?

I have a Caldigit TS3 so never had to think about port issues…

The two port model is a MacBook Air in a MacBook Pro case. It can’t drive more than one external monitor.

(Actually the Intel ones could, but the M1 models inherit some limitations from being built around lightly modified iPad chips)
