Hi,

I want to buy a laptop that can support 2 external monitors in addition to its own LCD. Is there such a notebook?

Thanks for your help.

You would just need to find one that has two outputs. A digital and analog would be most common.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just want to clarify one thing. I do have a Dell now with a docking station that has 2 outputs as you mentioned (DVI, Analog). However, no matter what I try I cannot get all 3 screens to work at the same time. I can only get either one of the outputs connected to the docking station to work with the LCD or the 2 external LCDs.

Are you saying there is a driver out there that will allow me to have all 3 simultaneously?

Hi, my mistake, I though you were only after a laptop with two outputs. I don't know if it is possible to have 3 displays at once.

Maybe once ATI's 5 series makes it to the mobile arena you might get portable eyefinity but I am not sure.
