    I've been lurking on the forum for awhile but I finally received my m1530 today after a long three weeks wait. I have two quick questions for you guys:
    1) I have two external monitors that I want to connect to the laptop. I cant get both hdmi and vga ports to work at the same time. Is there a way to have both ports activated so that I can have three screens total (2 external plus laptop)?

    2) I've done a clean install(followed les instructions, thanks!) and installed all the drivers and windows update. however the sp1 does not show up. I am afraid to download and install manually due to concerns of driver incompatibilities. Any ideas on how I can install the SP1?
