How are you using the three external monitors from a laptop? The reason I stick with a desktop is because I very heavily rely upon three monitors and haven't found any decent solutions to do so with a laptop. I'm using ubuntu, so I understand if the OS is a limitation, but I'd still love to hear about what you're using to make it work.
- honopu 12y agoI'm not who you asked, but I have: 2012 Retina macbook pro 15" 27" display port dell 24" display port dell 27" Samsung on hdmi to dvi cable. It will run all 4 screens at once.
- enobrev 12y agoInteresting. I have a 2013 MBP from work and my monitors have HDMI and I seem to recall HDMI / DP converters. I'll need to check if the display ports work well with ubuntu. Thanks! (two 27s and a 24! Fantastic!)

- thisGuysAccount 12y agoYou can get external USB monitors. I've used three displays on a laptop - DVI, laptop display, USB display
- auganov 12y agoSame, I might just add that the USB monitor thing (well, DisplayLink at least) is not as bad as one would expect. It's surprisingly efficient and 99.9% of the time you won't notice the difference. When playing full screen video it might take up a bit of CPU power, but unless you're under heavy load already it won't matter. Been using a StarTech DisplayLink adapter for 2 years now and never complained. EDIT: A quick google reveals it might not behave as well on a linux-based OS.
