Hey guys,
I'm moving out of home, and because I'm going to college, originally I was going to get a laptop + a computer.. because I hate laptop screens.
Then I had a thought - is the following setup possible?
Laptop is my main "processor", I plug in keyboard + mouse + 20" screen when I am at home, and play poker with the 2 screens, and when I go to college, I just take the laptop.
So basically I want to know if it is possible to plug another screen into a laptop, and if it is, I need a video card with 2 output slots right? Basically - can I have one of these in a laptop?
Also, I just need an ethernet card if I have a router for my cable modem?
I'm a little clueless and I've looked around iwth the search function and picked up some stuff, but if anyone with a clue could tell me if I want is possible, then I'll go shopping tomorrow and at least know what I'm asking for.
