The option for Laptop - 2 monitors and Laptop 3 monitors does exist (although it's likely rarer than any other type).

I just recently got a hold of some old cheap external monitor and have been using it with my MacBook Pro. It is amazing how much it increases your productivity. If you don't care about colors like me, you can get a pretty cheap one (it's kind of bulky though).

Why no option for 2 or more external on a laptop? It is easy thanks to USB monitors (Mimo, DisplayLink) and special hardware for normal monitors. ---

Agree
I use Screenrecycler to add a third-monitor to my laptop. Should I vote for laptop+1 or desktop with three monitors?

I'm so addicted to dual displays that when one of them died a couple years ago, I went out immediately and bought another.

Two... two 30" displays is not ridiculous... two is about perfect.
You forgot the insano option...
Laptop plus 3 20in external monitors (in portrait orientation) ;-)
Laptop plus 2 Monitors
Laptop plus 2 Monitors using a VillageTronic ViDock, but I generally run it with the laptop closed.

How_many_monitors - the beauty of Expose
The beauty of Expose is I don't need more than one monitor. It's so easy to switch windows. If I could do that on my PeeCee at work I wouldn't need two monitors there, but it's too much trouble switching windows on Windows (and yeah I know it's pretty easy, but Expose makes it even easier).

I actually run an original C2D iMac next to an original G5 iMac (which is a file/print server). I have the G5 setup as a second monitor using Screen Recycler.

If you pay the powerbill, It would be cheaper to get a new LCD than run an old machine as a screen. In Australia, this would cost about 200-300 per annum to run.

Really?! That's interesting.

My normal setup is my laptop closed with two large monitors. Because the real monitors are so much larger than my laptop's screen, I don't like to use it at my desk. I also use one of the external monitors in portrait mode.

I use Laptop + 2 monitors with the help of a USB to DVI adapter.

Macbook Pro + 1 Monitor, + 3 more USB monitors just to have a screen for everything I have open.

Just one
but it's a 27 inch iMac so it is not really an issue :-)

I'm a big fan of having a pivoting monitor. I use it in landscape orientation for most things, but turn it vertical for writing. It's great to see 2-3 pages of text without scrolling. If I thought my 1,1 Macbook (and my desk) would deal with it, I'd consider a second external so one could be left in portrait mode. Edited on Jul 27, '10 12:09:39PM by avandelay

I actually have fewer monitors than I have computers. Of my 3 personal computers, I have 1 monitor (on my laptop). One of the computers however is hooked up to my media center with a 320x240 television. Needless to say, I use screen sharing a lot. |
