Im trying to connect my mba to 2 external monitors via hdmi (clam mode for mba) and came across display link adapters. While it looks like it does get the job done, whats the downside of it if there is any. Mba being fanless I feel like there will be some sort consequences for running in not “intended setting”

Also taking display link adapter recommendations. Thinking of hyperdrive for now. Main reason being cheaper than others Ive seen.

    The downsides are that (1) you may experience choppy performance if there’s a lot of stuff moving on your screen and (2) some video content won’t play at all because of copy protection.

    Unfortunately, because your MacBook (and my MacBook) only supports one external display, there is no way around these limitations if we want to use multiple external displays.
