Hi all,

Somewhat of a newbie but learning so I appreciate all the advice I can get.

I currently have a 2013 macbook air and want to upgrade to a major productivity station with 4 monitors.

This is for business purposes. My primary goals with this is multiple browser speed and the ability to run 2-3 apps at the same time (Gotowebinar, Camtasia, Spotify).

I am not a heavy video editor aside from the occasional use. I really want this for multitask purposes hence the multiple monitors.

I know there are relatively few apple selections when it comes to multiple displays, but I was wondering if you could take a look at my below picks and let me know your thoughts and if you see any issues I might encounter or if this is way too much for what i'm looking for.
