Does Acer Spin 5 with i5 and Intel Iris Plus Graphics support 4 displays simultaneously (no high resolution needed, just need for monitoring stock markets )
(laptop screen + 1 monitor on HDMI + 2 monitors on 2 thunderbolt ports)

I guess the intel graphics card allow only up to 3, you can check the below link for more info

You can use a simple dock to give you the rest of the video ports. For your uses you don't need gaming speeds, so a dock is perfect.

This laptop already has the required number of video outputs (laptop screen, 2 thunderbolt ports, 1 HDMI port). So I guess it's mainly about whether the intel processor and graphic card will support 4 displays or not.

I had also checked this link. It says which graphic cards support 3 displays but it doesn't say whether it will support 4 or not, hence the doubt

Intel is pretty specific, 3 Display Pipes means there aren't four.
