Dual monitoring with a laptop

[partygirluk]

How easy is this to do

a) Using Laptop monitor + another
b) Using Laptop as computer only + 2 monitors

Tell me what I need to do.

Thanks a lot,

Dean

A is a pretty standard feature
B isn't and it's been covered recently so a search should locate it

a) Using Laptop monitor + another

This is pretty standard. Most laptops (in my case a ThinkPad) allow you your choice of
.display only on laptop lcd
.blank laptop lcd and display only on external display (hooked to port in the back)
.show desktop on both displays
.stretch (horizontal) or extend (vertical) desktop across both displays

b) Using Laptop as computer only + 2 monitors

Matrox just released a product called DualHead2Go which might be what you're seeking.
