    Well, is there any way the pup could power two external monitors? if yes... then I might not need a desktop anymore.

    I highly doubt that It can do 2 monitors. Now I know that it can its own screen and 1 monitor.

    probably, but i can't say if it will let you create an extended desktop or if it will show the same on all monitors.

    well there you go then. sorry mate. then again, it's only logical the box can only "clone" the signal for multiple monitors.
