Any links for the DisplayLink dock?
There are probably a lot of dell usb-c docks out there on FB Marketplace. A lot of companies buy them as docking stations for their employees.
Macbook Air with M1 chip Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colours and one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz
Yes physically the Macbook Air is a shit laptop like that. However if you plug it into a dock the software can handle more monitors. Apple would rather say it supports 1 so that you go and buy something else more expensive.
Do you actually have this setup running? Mac Mini M1 supports two external displays because it has two hardware ports. I'm not sure how well Mac OS manages two displays connected through what is effectively a splitter?
What you need is a DisplayLink dock. Just search and find one that meets your budget.
