Does the 13" MBP support multiple displays?

Sorry- I'm horrible at reading Apple Specs and inferring the capabilities

just the one external screen (two screens total including internal).

https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/

People have gotten round it by connecting additional screens using display link adapters.

Awesome thanks for the assist! That page makes it clear, I guess I'm actually just horrible at sifting through the marketing to find the spec page :)

Display Link is alrightish for light office work or coding. But not much else.

Can you use two external screens if you disable the internal screen? That's what I do now with a ThinkPad.

No sadly you can't

My 13" 2014 MBP supports 2 mDP + 1 HDMI = total 3 external displays.

Running external display at 4k@60Hz is possible but not straight forward, it requires patch core graphic framework, or using 3rd party boot loader. Newer models do not have this limitation afaik.

Intel != Apple Silicon
