Apple has confirmed that the cheapest MacBook Pro 14 will soon be upgraded to support two external displays, a feature that has escaped it since its launch last year. The update will bring the 14-inch laptop into line with the latest MacBook Air 13 and MacBook Air 15 that Apple released yesterday.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-confirms-update-for-cheapest-MacBook-Pro-14-with-external-display-support-improvements.810149.0.html
it supports two displays with laptop lid closed, so it's still two displays. this makes last paragraph (bla bla mac mini) irrelevant.
