Hi everyone,



I did some searching but couldnt find an answer to my question. I was looking to replace my G5 tower with a new computer and was thinking of a new macbook/pro. Problem is I need dual-displays for my audio/video work. Is there a solution with dual external displays when working at home, not the internal and one-external? Are the macbook's truly at the point where they're just as capable as a tower?



Thanks-



A

    I use a 17" MBP and work with Audio/Video on a daily basis. Unfortunatly I can't see a way to work on two external monitors - the MBP only has a single DVI input, but I've not had any problems with speed and capability of the laptop over using a desktop for AV work.

    It's a Dual Link DVI port, so it supports devices like this:
