Sonnet Offering Dual Display Adapters For Apple M1 Mac Computers
Sonnet Technologies today announced the DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M1 Macs and the DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter for M1 Macs, new additions to the company’s line of dual display adapters for Intel, M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max Mac and Windows computers. Each adapter incorporates a captive cable with a USB-A connector, includes a USB-A female connector to USB-C male connector adapter, and connects to a compatible computer’s USB or Thunderbolt port for bus-powered operation.
Sonnet’s DisplayLink Dual Display Adapters for M1 Mac computers enable users to connect two 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60Hz displays — using either DisplayPort or HDMI connections — to a single port on their computers.
These adapters are Ideal for use with productivity software such as Microsoft Office, enabling users to work more efficiently by expanding their computer’s workspace — whether by opening multiple applications on their own screens, editing code or viewing spreadsheets in detail on a large display, or mirroring their computer’s display on a larger monitor.
They can also connect a computer to a big-screen TV for browsing the web and watching videos on YouTube and other content at a distance.
The latest 13-inch Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers deliver great performance but include only two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports for connecting peripherals — displays included — one of which is used for charging the computer. More importantly, these computers natively support only a single external display. Sonnet’s DisplayLink Dual Display Adapters for M1 Mac computers overcome the computers’ limitations to enable users to connect two 4K 60Hz displays at once to one port on their computer, saving the other port for charging or for connecting an additional peripheral device.
Most dual display adapters are incompatible with M1 Mac computers, only support lower-resolution displays, or support just one display at a 60Hz refresh rate (the other limited to 30Hz). Sonnet’s DisplayLink Dual Display Adapters for M1 Mac computers support two 4K — or lower resolutions such as 1080p — 60Hz displays, operate off power from the host computer’s USB or Thunderbolt port, and are fully compatible with M1 Mac computers, other Mac computers running macOS® 10.15 and later, and PCs running Windows 11 or 10.
BRAND CONNECTIONS
Sonnet’s DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter for M1 Macs (part number USB3-DDP4K) and DisplayLink Dual HDMI Adapter for M1 Macs (part number USB3-DHDMI) will be available from Sonnet the first week of February and soon from channel partners worldwide at the suggested retail price of $149.99 each.

Thanks for the information. I bought my new Mac just yesterday, and now I’m still setting up everything. And it’s so easy to do because everything I need I can find online, and I was looking for such adapters too. Now I know exactly what I need. It’s my first Mac, and I thought it would be harder for me, but it’s perfect because it’s not that hard to use, and everything is easier with such information. I’ve also found this article https://setapp.com/how-to/clear-scratch-disk-mac, which provided me with some info about disc cleaning, and there was also information about an app which can provide info about Mac’s storage makeup and I can understand which folders are overflowing and get rid of something I don’t need. Such articles are needed to be productive and take a maximum from your Mac.
