    Hi, is it possible to run two external monitors at the same time with the R2 version? I know that the R1 version could via the VGA and HDMI. However, since the R2 version only has HDMI and Display port(No VGA port), is it possible to connect two external monitors using the HDMI and Display port at the same time?

    I plan to be using a HDMI cable to connect the HDMI port to a HDMI monitor, and using a Display port to VGA adapter to connect to a second VGA monitor. Is this possible?

    Thanks :)

    Ok, with 90 views on this question, I assume that it is not possible to connect the m11x to 2 external displays at the same time?

    I know that it is the norm for many laptops to be able to display to 2 exteranl displays but having its own built-in display disabled. For example the m11x R1 could do this.

    I am fairly disapppointed that the m11x R2 cannot do this. :(
