Apple says that it can drive 2x6K XDR but can it drive 3x4K? I'm just curious to try out a potential configuration. I probably should have bought an M1 MAX with 64 GB RAM. I am curious to see if I can replace my entire desktop computing with a laptop.
Got a tip for us?

Can the M1 PRO MacBook Pro drive 3 4K monitors?

Connect displays to your Mac - Apple Support
Mac computers support one or more external displays, depending on the Mac model. Here's how to connect an external display.
Just to add to mystery hill’s response. This is the Apple support page which confirms two monitors for M1 Pro.
Yes, I can read the specs.
What I'm looking for is someone that has actually tried to do it.
I've found, on some earlier Macs, that you can use more than what's explicitly stated in the specs on external displays.
I read of someone trying it without success, but I haven't heard of people trying to get very creative about it yet.
I only have one USB-C to DP cable right now so I can’t try it. I was able to get my 2014 MacBook Pro to display to three external monitors and the internal display despite the specs saying that two 4K monitors were supported.
I wasn’t just quoting specs.
Here is a post from someone that tried it: 'New 14" M1 Pro External Monitors'
