    Hi all
    Two years ago I got tricked into buying a full specced Z laptop to use as my main development machine. That cost more than $4000

    I was shocked to realize that you can't run more than one external screen even using the dock station. I was astonished given that most average $500 lapotops can do at least two external screens if you turn off the built in laptop screen.

    Anyway, I was forced to keep my desktop and used the laptop only occasionally.

    Now i'm looking to update and would like to know whether the Z2 with the PMD can run two external U3011 screens running at 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz. The screens has div and hdmi and I understand the PMD has hdmi and vga.

    Do you think i would run into any problems doing that? Would be typical from Sony to not really care about teh needs for the sort of people that needs the Z.

    If you think this cannot work can it work with an alternative product rather than the PMD? or is there other laptop you can suggest that will make this setup work?

    Thanks
