asked on
dual monitor docking station setup
Is it possible to have a laptop dock onto a docking station and then have a dual monitor setup with two large separate monitors? If so, what is needed? Any special docking station? Any special graphics card on the laptop?

So the unit has the dual graphics card built in?

I am in the throes of putting a setup together and want to be familiar with what to look for. So does the laptop need an upgraded graphics card?
No, it should not. I have setup several of these and never had an issue. My only question is if you are using it for business or gaming. All the ones that I have setup have been for business applications. If you are planning to use this for gaming requiring a high-end 3D card, this may not be the correct solution for you.
I am on the config you describe now.
