    Hi,
    I have a question that might get moved, but here goes. I have a M11x R1 and i connect it to my 32" TV via HDMI. Is it possible that i can have multiple desktops so that on my TVi can watch TV streaming in full screen and on my laptop use it for surfing and other stuff.

    I had a laptop a few years ago with an Nvidia graphics card that allowed 3 individual desktops and to put them on different screens

    thanks in advance

    What laptop was that? Sounds like it had SLI. I'm pretty sure its not possible otherwise.

    I had a laptop from a company called Evesham, i can't remember the model but it was the graphics card that allowed me to do it.
