Lets my M1 Macbook Air use two external monitors

The M1 Macbook Air natively only supports one external display, but this adapter allows me to use two (one connected to USB-C, one connected to this DisplayLink adapter ). The software works quite well, the monitors remember where they are etc. Aside from the one-time installation of the software, which was easy, this thing is totally plug and play. I actually had an issue initially where the DisplayLink monitor refused to wake up after going to sleep even if I unplugged it and turned it back on - HDMI and/or USB ports connected, but turns out I have a I used a bad HDMI cable. I tried another HDMI cable and now it works great.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • For retirees
