Hello
I'm searching notebook on witch one can work with two external monitors[1920x1200px] and build in it in that same time...
Is there such a notebook?

Sorry for my bad English :rolleyes:
 
criccio can I find something like DualHead2Go but with one hdmi/dvi input and two hdmi/dvi outputs??
 
You can use a USB for the VGA ouput. I'm looking for one myself. However, from the reviews, a USB can't really keep up with the bandwidth needed, so what it does is the video is compressed by the CPU, send through the USB, and then decoded by the dongle. Major downside is that the compression turns the video quality to crap. But if you just need it for spreadsheets, i suppose it'll do.
 
But what about quality of picture?
VGA gives worse quality that DVI :/

theoretically you´re right, because digital > analog, but practically you wont see a difference. i´m myself using the vga input on my 40" fullhd tv and theres no difference. ;)

I've tested it on my LCD and this pattern will show up differently between VGA and DVI. My LCD has both inputs. My laptop (VGA) and desktop (DVI) are connected to it simultaneously and i switch between the two often so i see the difference in the details. It shows up sharp and clear on my DVI, but on VGA, it looks like there's a tornado passing through. That's not an animated GIF.
 
I believe Lenovo's W700 will let you do two monitors and use the integrated one as well (or two if you go for the W700ds). You'll need to get a displayport --> DVI adapter however. They're not cheap unfortunately either.
 
eVGA has a usb to DVI adapter. They are about $50 and work pretty good for normal desktop and office application use. Definately not going to let you play ANY games or video though.
 
dell latitude e-series with dual docking port lets you use any 2 monitors you'd like. Displayport, HDMI, DVI, VGA ports for each monitor.
 
Laptops with Nvidia cards with both HDMI/DVI and a vga port will run 2 external monitors, but not at the same time as the laptop lcd.

I had an Asus N10J and ran dual 24" samsung LCD's off it.
