I'm rocking 3 screens now.

Cause that's just how I roll. Decided the Compamy owes me a chrimbo present so ordered a new laptop (DELL Precision m4800). First one I've had that supported 3 screens at the same time. It's great untill you lose where the Mouse Pointer is.
I'm capable of losing the mouse pointer with a single screen and not so big :D I also have pretty bad experiences with multi-desktop (linux way), or better, multi-terminal. I learnt that
telinit 1
isn't a good command to send remotely - I wanted to turn MY machine in single user but did it in the wrong console. I guess I'm no multitasking man :sigh:

Nice! :cool: You can set Windows up to emit a ring around the mouse pointer when you hit Ctrl, pretty handy for when you lose it!

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I've got the same laptop (DELL Precision m4800). and running with 3 screens too. I imagine our layout is extremely similar, question is what is your laptop screen used for? I'm currently running stuff that is always useful at a glance on my laptop (emails, builds, tests) etc..

It's a beast isn't it.

Only just got it so still trying things out. As it is the least prominent screen I have been mainly using it for no-work related stuff such as CP. ;)

Pfftt..... Amateur..... :laugh: I am running 4 1920x1080 23" monitors attached to my machine. We actually have an application that runs across multiple monitors, hence the business need for it (so I didn't have to pay for them).

Got me a Dell M6500 - Screens? I got a big one. Your ménage à trois sounds - well - (KSS Censor invoked). Since I have it to move around I keep it to the one screen. Two HDD's is really neat for a laptop.

If we're going to be comparing... :-) I had 3 24" 1920x1200 monitors, until one died about 2 months ago...which I replaced with a 27" 1920x1080--the loss of those extra 120 pixels vertically is a lot more evident than I had thought possible. If I had the video hardware that could handle it, I'd replace one or two with a 4K monitor...although nothing under at least 34" or so, as text just gets too small and you have to rescale everything, which means you're just wasting pixels.
