Laptop for non-gaming multi-monitor (lemmy.world)

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm looking for a lowish priced laptop that I can put at least 2 extra monitors on. I want a second landscape 4k and a portrait 1080. Don't need anything special. One monitor has DP and HDMI, but the other just HDMI. Do I just get a DP hub and use a converter dongle for the second?

What would be a recommended laptop for this scenario? I only want AMD CPU and GPU as I can't be arsed to fight with noVideo and Intel doesn't deserve my business.

Two HDMI? AFAIK, there's no such thing as an HDMI hub for having 2 external monitors.

Two ports.

You have a laptop in mind that has two HDMI ports?
