Hi,

I have a technical question about a MacBook Pro set up.

I have a 2011 15" MacBook Pro on a mStand hooked up to a 23" 1080p monitor. I have a spare 20" 1600 by 900 monitor that I was considering hooking up for extra desktop space when working under load.

Can my my MacBook run the internal display and two externals at the same time? If so, how can I daisy chain it since I have only one thunderbolt port?


Thanks

Using a Thunderbolt dock or a Thunderbolt device with additional ports on the back will work. Otherwise, you can use a USB adapter or a device like the DualHead2Go.
