    There is no reason that they couldn’t do 3 1080p monitors or more especially when the newer generation chips are supposedly so much faster than the generation before it.

      Well yeah, no shit Sherlock. They could have done that in the first generation. It takes four 1080p monitors to equal the resolution of one 4K monitor. Apple though doesn’t have a good enough reason to support many low res monitors. That’s not their typical consumer base, who mostly use retina displays or other high res displays. Apple only sells high res displays. The display in the actual laptops is way above 1080p. In other words they chose quality over quantity as a design decision.

        1080p is perfect for getting actual work done though.

        And there is not reason why they couldn’t allow you to have multiple normal res monitors. It’s not a limitation to get you to overspend on a more expensive computer.
