HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE PERFORMANCE OF M4 MACBOOKS WITH COMPATIBILITY TESTED
MULTI-MONITOR DISPLAY ACCESSORIES

Posted on 12-03-2024 in General
By Rob Howell



Apple’s new M4 MacBook Pros deliver cutting-edge performance, faster speeds, and
advanced AI capabilities, setting a new standard for professional productivity.
To make the most of these impressive MacBooks, businesses will want to deploy
them with an effective multi-monitor display set up, a task that has been
complicated with past generations of MacBooks but is no longer a challenge with
StarTech.com’s tested connectivity accessories. To save you time and research,
the team at StarTech.com’s Innovation Lab has done testing on devices with M4,
Pro, and Max chips to ensure you have all the accessories and information you
need so that you can deploy your M4 devices worry-free. 


DEPLOYING MACBOOKS WITH THE M4, M4 PRO, OR M4 MAX CHIPS? 

MacBooks are great for modern working spaces, lightweight, portable, and
powerful they’re the go to choice for many organizations. The new M4 MacBook
comes with native support for a multi-monitor solution with its screen open,
previously a capability only available to MacBooks equipped with Apple Silicon
Pro and Max chips. 

To maximize the performance of your M4 devices while ensuring compatibility with
M3 devices for mixed device environments and hot desking, we suggest utilizing
the M4 MacBook’s Thunderbolt connectivity with a Thunderbolt docking station. 

For IT pros looking for a quick answer on multi-monitor setups, the helpful grid
below offers our tested recommendations to simplify the selection process for
dual, triple, or quad-display configurations:

For organizations where team members may not need a full docking station for
their work, adapters can also make an excellent choice for multi-monitor
deployment. The StarTech.com Dual display adapters can use a single Thunderbolt
port to add two, DisplayPort, HDMI, or 4k 60Hz monitors to a device with an M4
chip. Their small-footprint design means they fit easily into a carrying case or
backpack to use at a desk or on the go.
 


DEPLOYING AN IMAC OR MAC MINI? 

Mac Mini and iMac deployments are as simple as using the same trusted
Thunderbolt 4 devices that you would rely on for your organizations MacBooks.
This includes if you’ve opted for the Pro versions of the devices as their
Thunderbolt 5 ports are backwards compatible with previous generation
accessories. This simplified connectivity allows for easy deployment and set up
with guaranteed tested StarTech.com accessories. 

Download our Apple M4 Accessories Finder Grid to simplify the process of
selecting guaranteed compatible docks, adapters and cables for an effective,
worry-free M4 device deployment. Keep in mind our Innovation Lab is constantly
testing products to ensure compatibility with new devices, and you can expect
more M4 compatible accessories to be available soon.  


If you require assistance selecting the right accessories for your MacBook
deployments, our Tech Advisors would be happy to assist you through live chat,
phone or email. Visit our support page for contact information.
