    I was wondering would if it be possible to run three external monitors with the W500 and advanced mini-dock using the DVI and VGA on the dock and the DisplayPort on the laptop.

    if i remember correctly, the video card only supports only up to 2 video outputs, so in order to use a third one you would have to get a usb -> dvi/vga adapter.
