This is entirely dependent on the video hardware. Some laptops video cards can support two external displays while the internal display is active and others cannot.
While the Intel HD 4000 supports 3 displays, according to the docs, it only supports them when used with series 7 chipsets and the specs on this ultrabook say it uses the QS67 which is a series 6 chipset.
So I would bet that the answer is NO.

- chimeracoder 14y agoInteresting - in the past I've only ever tried 2 external displays when I've turned the internal display off, come to think of it. So the XPS13 definitely works with 1 external + 1 internal, but maybe it won't work with a second external after all.
- sahaskatta 14y agoHow are you connecting TWO external displays? I only see one DisplayPort on the specs. Is that via a USB display or can you daisy chain a DisplayPort?

I'm only connecting one with my XPS13 - I've connected two in the past on my other computers (which is what I was referring to). > can you daisy chain a DisplayPort? No idea, though this page suggests the newer ones can: http://www.displayport.org/faq/ http://www.displayport.org/faq/
- singlow 14y agoLooks like 2 external will work, with the built-in display disabled. This is how my Thinkpad W700 works also.
