    All,
    I am considering purchasing a M4500 for CAD MEP use. Was thinking about i7-620M and 880M g-card. OS will be Win7x64. With this setup, will it be possible to run two exteernal monitors in addition to the laptop screen? I would like to run CAD on one, Bluebeam on the other, and email or tool pallets from the cad program on the laptop screen.
    Also, the above dual core was recomended and I notice alot of owners have this same one. I'm a little confused though on the graphics card. Is the quadro in addition to the intergated memory installed on the chip? if so, is it switchable?
    This is all a learning process for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks much.

    Two external monitors yes, but not the laptop screen too.

    The M6500, using the AMD GFX card, supports 2 external displays + the notebook display OR 3 external displays only. A dock is required for this configuration.
