Hey guys and girls! I have to admit, I'm not usually lost on things like this but.. I cannot wrap my head around which dock I need. Do I really need a (£280ish) dock?
I have a 2021 Macbook Pro 14" which arrived yesterday. I have 2 monitors, 1 will take HDMI and is 1080P and the other is 1440P 144HZ which will take either display port or HDMI. I use these for a PC and want to pop the MacBook in. Other than this, I'll have a mouse and a keyboard. I think I understand that I need a thunderbolt 4? (not 3?) to power two monitors this way. Am I right in thinking this? Could I get away with anything cheaper e.g. a cheaper dock and pop one monitor straight into the Mac? Bit loathed to spend quite so much if I can help it but not opposed to it 😆 I've tried looking at other posts but can't really understand everyone's use case.
