Is it possible to attach 2 external monitors to this Elitebook?

I just tried it with Windows 7 and it worked. I used the HDMI port on the left and the VGA port on the right. I believe when you do this you can no longer your the laptop screen (as a 3rd screen). Now maybe if you have the laptop docked you could run 3 monitors but not 100% sure

The unit would need a standalone video card to project to two monitors..It is not equipped with the video card..Thanks

Yes you can do that (that is what I do) but I suggest you buy the DS213j, the newer version of this. It has more RAM, a newer CPU, and floating-point and it is cheaper! You can attach two external drives or a powered hub with, I believe up to seven devices total.

yes. You will be able to have 2 separate external monitors side by side that will act as a large single display spread across the two monitors and your laptop monitor can be positioned to the left or right of these external monitors. If you put your laptop in between the two external monitors your mouse will scroll from the laptop to the first external monitor then over to the next external monitor ... with the laptop in the middle your mouse will move LAPTOP to MONITOR 1 to MONITOR 2 - so it is best to put the external monitors side by side LAPTOP - MONITOR 1 - MONITOR 2

Hello Steven, the 2.0 PRO does support two external monitors. You would connect one monitor to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port, and a second to one of the four USB 3.0 ports with an adapter. Feel free to contact us at support@landingzone.net if you have any other questions!

correction..... I read the question too fast. I have no problems with the 3rd monitor. 2 works fine - 1 external and the laptop as the 2nd. sorry for the confusion

This specific adapter will allow you to add 2 monitors to any setup you currently have. All you need is a USB port available (preferably USB 3.0).

I use a laptop which I have on a separate stand as a second monitor to the side

oh yeah. and it's awesome - currently have 2 monitors on an arm, and 2 of these on the desk in front of each. apparently my video card will take another one... just trying to figure out where it would go! i had to use a different USB on my computer than the one i initially tried, possibly a power issue as noted in the other answer

1. Yes, it will support two external monitors. 2. The dock plugs into an available USB 3.0 port on your laptop. Please check with Plugable for your configuration.

Not personally, but at my work agents plug in their laptop to a docking station and then have the display shown on two monitors.

Yes, you can. You don't have to use 2 monitors. For the card or cable to work properly

I don't run 2 monitors, just the laptop and 1 external monitor which is plugged into the one provided HDMI port on the device. The docking station does not have a thunderbolt port which would allow daisy chaining thunderbolt devices were it available. So there seems to be nothing that would indicate that you could run 2 monitors through this docking station.

No you can't run dual monitors with the onboard ports you will need to use a video card. I have already exhausted all other possibilities.

Yep, that's my setup. I'm almost certain you can even hook up a third to the DisplayPort.
