Posted November 17, 2016 Hi! This is my first post... Really new to this... I need your help, please! I am running a multi monitor setup just for work, I actually have 2 laptops, 1 24in HD and a 50in HD screens attached to a lap top by HDMI and diamond usb to HDMI adapter and I need a laptop that can handle at least another 2 monitors and a considerable multitasking performance so that I can get rid of one of them or use it for some other purpose. I am thinking the new DELL 7566 with 16RAM, Gforce 960M, 128SSD, 1Tb HDD and i7 6700HQ would be the best choice, but since I do not render or play games on this machine I am thinking if maybe a lower end laptop would be enough... What would your performance requirements recommendation would be? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugging the monitors is not the problem, the real issue is that my old ASUS lap top (which I use with the other 2 monitors) is now dying and it is completely useless when I plug in the third monitor... It just can't handle extending the monitor so wide and multitasking. I am looking for a lap top that can handle extending the monitor to 4 screens and run multiple medium demanding programs along, so that I can also get rid of my Macbook and do everything on one machine...

The real question is wtf are you doing with it.
