Why don’t you need multiple screens on your Mac, and your MacBook Air or Pro can do everything perfectly with just one screen? In today’s article, I will address this topic because there are a lot of temptations on the Internet.

In the form of extending your MacBook’s display on the go. But it all depends on how much you can use what macOS offers. That said, when you know your system, you don’t need to buy stuff like this.

Why is this not an exciting solution?

Virtually all the solutions offered are a nice way to get money out of you. A beautiful proof of this is one of the latest projects on the Kick Starter platform. Within the first hour, the requested amount was completely funded.

Of course, this is due to a possible undershot goal of $25,000, but surely above all, the interest of backers in a compelling idea. Who wouldn’t want to expand their MacBook display by two more?
