If you run Windows 10 on the exact same Mac hardware, multiple monitors within the DisplayPort bandwidth work flawlessly as an extended desktop.

Presumably, Apple regards MST Hub as a legacy, dead-end technology. Only Thunderbolt chained monitors are supported. Unfortunately, macOS does not support DisplayPort MST Hub. Without MST Hub support, multiple external monitors on the dock can only act as mirrors of each other.

This technique allows multiple external monitors to act as extended screen area as long as the hardware and driver support MST Hub. The ThinkPad Docks use the DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport (MST) Hub standard on the two exposed DisplayPort ports. Use of the dock still doesn't increase the available video bandwidth of the Thunderbolt/DisplayPort port even if the machine itself has the capability. Unfortunately, you can't daisy chain monitors from a single port you must use separate ones. However, as you've already discovered, if you connect them separately, it works. Yes in that the MacBook Pro (as opposed to the MacBook) can support more than 1 external monitor. I should specify that my MacBook is actually MacBook Pro (15-inch, So, the mirroring you are seeing is expected behavior. The Lenovo C-Dock doesn't enable your MacBook to supply more display bandwidth than Apple provides.

Per the tech specs:Р вЂќР’Вual display and video mirroring: simultaneously supports full native In other words, it will only support one external monitor. A simple single-port adapter may be a better solution.The MacBook only supports dual displays including the built in display. You may not need 4K or 5K display support, high-speed data transfer, or 12 different things plugged into your MacBook Pro at the same time.

They're the least expensive but also the least versatile. They are almost always a single-port changeover, like USB-C-to-USB-A or USB-to-Lightning, though sometimes they may have one or two additional ports, like HDMI. If the docking stations listed here seem like too much for you, you may need a hub instead.Р вЂќР вЂћdapters are the simplest peripherals for port versatility.

They also tend to be more portable because they're lighter and smaller (and don't need their own wall plug). They always have a lot of ports but don't always have their own power source. Hubs are very similar to docking stations. When it comes to MacBook Pro docking stations, I use Elgato's Thunderbolt 3 docking station because of its 85-watt charging support and its dual 4K display option.

For the most part, they're meant to be stationary to give your desktop workflow more versatility and convenience. They usually have their own power supply and can charge your laptop and mobile devices while also providing fast data transfer and 4K or 5K display support. MacBook Pro docking stations are designed for multi-display use with charging support-and that's why they typically use Thunderbolt 3 instead of just USB-C. Only compatible with the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2019 or later).Р вЂќР’Вocking station, hub, or adapter: Which one is right for you? It's a great way to work in Clamshell mode with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This helps organize the use of your USB-C ports, but you can still keep your laptop out of the way. Slide your MacBook Pro into the dock, and your two USB-C ports are redirected to two ports on the side of the dock. Though this isn't a docking station (it doesn't have additional ports or its own power source), it's a neat little accessory that might be the perfect fit for your desktop.
