    Hello all,

    I did have a search but couldn't find any info on this. I'm thinking of purchasing a P100-227, with Intel 945 integrated graphics sharing the system RAM - I don't want it for games. What I do want is dual monitor, i.e. a monitor connected to the VGA port which shows as proper dual monitor setup in windows, rather than duplicating whats on the laptop screen. I want to be able to drag windows to and fro between the laptop scren and external monitor.

    Does anyone have one of these or can anyone comment on this? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Phil

    Works great on My U205. Especially for Cad or excel projects.

    That's great thanks, but does it have the same GPU, the integrated intel 945 one? If you've got a recent toshiba laptop with that GPU and can do dual monitor then that's good enough for me.
