While the MacBook Pro natively supports two monitors, the MacBook Air currently does not (without an adapter).
I will resolve this market YES if the M3 MacBook Air natively supports more than one monitor.
Speculation around the M3 MacBook Air launch ranges from March 2024 to early 2025, so I'm closing this question in June 2025 to be safe. See this related market:

@MaxGhenis what does it mean to natively support, and what counts as an adaptor? Does the internal screen of the laptop count as one of the two monitors?
If you plug in an external display with a single cable that has a DisplayPort connector on one end and a type C connector on the other, and you plug it into a thunderbolt 3 port on the laptop, is that "natively supporting?" Is it only natively supporting if the cable is not an "adaptor" and is using whatever video mode type C connectors and thunderbolt ports already support?
@chrisjbillington I'm referring to the behavior of current MacBook Pros, where you can plug one display into each USB-C port. The MacBook Air already has two USB-C ports, you just can only plug a display into one.
