Anybody on here’s who’s tried to hook up one or two Apple Studio Displays to the 13-inch?
Can it work at 5K?
So far I only understand that Apple doesn’t do MST at all, hence the question on multiple screens.

Daisy chaining them, even with MST is a stretch, two cables may work. But I don’t have one yet to test.
The 13 inch is able to drive both displays, but your experience with both hooked up while doing anything resource intensive may vary. I’m currently running a 13inch MBP thats reasonably specced from 2020 and it can chug sometimes with 2 of the 5k LG displays plugged in especially while doing renders or scrubbing high def footage in video edits. Using 1 external display and the internal one gives me a far smoother experience regardless of what I’m doing.
EDIT: I am using two seperate ports just to clarify and Apple Support explained that they do not officially support driving two monitors of that size, only the one.
Well I don’t have two to test but I have one. It seems to be working pretty well. And yeah it handles 5k. I’m using Fedora 38. It detected 2 displays for some reason but I disabled the mystery one and works fine. So yeah if you wanna use it with a Studio Display it will definitely work. It also charges it
Don’t mind the radios this is my dad’s desk lol
Cool desk you have there @ThatOneGuy
btw, no noticeable uptick in resource usage when displaying in 5k?
Thanks! I didn’t really check that to be honest. It didn’t seem like it was struggling at all with it. I didn’t have it plugged in for very long. Based off my short testing though I think it will be fine
