I'm looking into buying a laptop that I can connect 2 monitor displays to it. I'm not looking into cloning the display, but extending it to my 2 monitors. I will most likely not use the laptop, and use the 2 monitors for display instead.

I will be doing Graphics Design on much of my usage. Not very much gaming.

Can I get advice and recommendations on a laptop under these descriptions, that I can buy under a $800 budget plz

Most normal, consumer-grade, 15-inch laptops have both a VGA and an HDMI connector on them and can be hooked up to two additional displays. Some even have Displayport. No reason why you would need dual graphics cards.

As said above buy the highest spec machine you can and then connect two monitors up, this can then be set to 3 screens in the graphics settings.

If you want a reply PLEASE QUOTE ME!

Dual graphics cards are for heavy gaming and will pretty much mean you will have like 1-2 hours of battery life.

 

Just grab a decent laptop which has 2 connectors from the laptop, most decent ones will have a DVI and HDMI these days

Then at the most you will only need a laptop with Displayport and HDMI. It's really not that big a deal. Very, very few laptops even have two graphics cards and are on the order of a couple thousand dollars. Just find a laptop, dGPU or not, depending on what you need, which has the outputs that you need.
