I've been brewing on the purchase of a new lower-end Mac for word processing (I brew slowly :p ) and this Mac would need to work with my Alienware 120hz 3440 x 1440 monitor.

Looking on the Apple website, neither the Mac Mini, Macbook Air or Pro list anything other than 60hz output and with no mention of Ultrawide. Will any of these power my monitor at 120hz and in its native resolution?

I have tried Google for answers but there is much smoke and mirrors.

I’m 95% certain that all current Mac models support 120hz external as long as it’s connected via usb c or thunderbolt 3, if your monitor doesn’t have either then use a tb3/usb c to Mini DisplayPort adapter

as for the resolution - there’s an app called “disable monitor” which allows you to set custom resolutions for externally connected sources which used to work well back in 2016
