    Hey guys,

    Just want to double check to make sure the Asus M6Ne i'm going to buy can support "dual monitors" (laptop screen + 1), so I can have them both active and drag my windows from one to the other.

    Thaaaaaanks!!

    Yes. You can plug a monitor into the VGA output and still use the LCD, running both screens at once. You can't run more than two screens at once though.

    I've heard that some laptops can run two screens at once (laptop screen + 1), but they just display the same data on both
    screens [ :(!], rather than increasing the real estate and giving you an extended desktop. I want to make sure that you mean the latter rather than the former![:I]

    Thanks heaps!

    Lara.

    You can do that too. The ATI Radeon video card is pretty flexible. But yes, I meant extending your desktop.
