I am currently using a Dell Precision with two external monitors and its own
screen. I use a docking station that gives me two DVI ports.

If you are using 3 (or more!) monitors, I'd be curious about the specs for
that device. My current laptop graphics card only supports 2 monitors. I am
in the market for a new laptop for my daughter to take to college in fall
2015. I'd like to get her one that supports 3 monitors in case she finds out
she needs that capability.

That way I can leave all my accessories, network cable, keyboard, mouse, and
an external monitor hooked up... just have to undock the laptop and go. I
pretty much always use a large external monitor. It's a lot better than the
laptop's screen alone.
