Hi,

so I got a new M2 macbook air, and I've been searching this whole week for the cheapest way use it in a two monitor setup. Here is the cheapest solution that I found.

I bought this pretty old docking station online for 20 bucks : a lenovo thinkpad usb 3.0 dock. Here is one on ebay. Note that is has DisplayLink. All I had to do was install the DisplayLink manager app for mac, and it worked :)
I don't know how high you can push the resolution with this, I have two somewhat old DELL monitors at 1920 x 1080p.

Hopefully someone can benefit from this. If you found another cheap setup, do share.
