    Hey folks! I'm in the market for a new laptop that I can bring to school, so I'd like it to be reasonably portable and inexpensive. Most offerings in this category have the Intel GMA 4500 for graphics. Would this be able to run an additional monitor @ 1680x1050? Also, will it work reasonably well with SketchUp (I use this for furniture design)?

    Thanks for the help.
