    Does the 9400M in the SXPS13 support more than 2? It has the built in screen, VGA, HDMI, and Displayport. Driving 4 monitors from it would be pretty sweet.
    EDIT:Just tried it myself, and no it does not. Only 2 monitors at a time, even if there is cloning.

    BTW: How are you liking your FUZE? I love mine, running EnergyROM August 11, and its working great! Can't wait for the Touch Pro2 though! I tried the T-Mobile one at the store a couple days ago and the screen is just amazing!

    //Touch Pro off topic

    i love my Fuze, though there are a few hardware quirks i'd like corrected(like louder speakers found in the TP2, LED notification, hardware keylock switch)... can't afford the TP2 though if/when it comes out for AT&T :(


    //on topic
    i guess laptop manufacturers put more display ports for more choices, but you'll still need a desktop with 1+ GPU to drive >2 displays...when i get a job after college, i'll probably get a triple screen desktop... 3 years to that...sigh...
