    Hi, I have a Vostro 1700 laptop.

    I'm just wondering whether there is a way to attach two external monitors to the laptop, since there is only one VGA port.

    Thanks in advance.

    Probably can't do it without some sort of port replicator or one of those newfangled USB/VGA adapters. I've heard the latter works pretty well, though. I'm actually a little surprised that the Vostro 1700 doesn't have an HDMI port.

    Thanks for your reply Commander Wolf.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can find a port replicator or USB/VGA adapter that supports a screen resolution of 1440 x 900?
