Alienware 13 + Triple montior = possible?

[ChoiSiwon]

Hey, I received an Alienware 13 maxed out config as a birthday gift a few months back. I was curious if its able to run 3 1080p monitors. Not for gaming, i'll probably game on one screen, and use the other screens for multitasking. Thanks!

Specs?

I honestly don't see why it wouldn't but I think the things stopping you is the number of output on the laptop

Yes. It would handle those for regular tasks, maybe not higher resolution video viewing.

Specs?

1080, i7 Dual Core, 960m, 256 SSD, 1 TB HDD

Would a graphic amplifier help out a bit? I don't really do much hardcore gaming besides League, WoW, and CSGO

The Graphics Amplifier would allow you to play games on three monitors. Depending on which GPU you get.

Would the dual core hold it back though?

It is hyperthreaded, it will preform similar to a desktop 4th gen Core i3. 

Most games will do fine on that. CPU bound ones like planetside might not do as well on 3 monitors.

[DaltonM]

Yeah, that $200 expander doesn't come with a GPU. But if you get that, then you'd have no problem running your monitors if you get a powerful card.
