I want a laptop with two graphics cards, one for internal and one to drive a large external display. My current laptop can't keep up with chat rooms on the large external display. And it's a pretty good laptop (don't remember the graphics card it has, but it has an external port for both HDMI and parallel ports. it just slows down and I need a better plan on a portable platform.
 
Solution
The laptop may come with integrated graphics and you can add a discrete video card to that. I would go with an AMD setup since you can Crossfire X the two video options giving you one powerful graphics card to run two displays.
