Hi

I am ready to switch sides. Three Windows laptops in 6 years, and a brand new i5 760 desktop which developed the blue screen of death within 2 months, has tested my patience. No more false economy.

I ran a triple screen set up on the new desktop, not for gaming, but various Office and web browsing applications. None particularly graphic intensive, just the odd streaming FTSE chart/portfolio.

What I would like to know, is the new MBP 13 suitable to run at least two of the three monitors I have? Ideally, the MBP would be the main screen, giving me the three screen set up I'm after. I can use the spare monitor elsewhere.

I've had conflicting advice from a couple of Apple resellers in town, no official Apple shop in Helsinki as far as I know.

I assume I would need to use one of the USB ports with a USB hub, then perhaps a Matrox 2head?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
