Triple Monitor Set-Up For New 17" MacBook Pro?
 

Anyone here have a multi-monitor set-up for the new 17" unibody MacBook Pro? I'm looking to run three 24" external monitors of the new MacBook Pro and I'm not having any luck finding anything via Google or Yahoo. Anyone have any suggestions or is this even possible?

call mac sales and they can tell you in about 2 minutes..

I'd be surprised if you can do this.. If you get it to work please post how.

I don't know what you searched for but on my first attempt looks like a lot of possibilities.

that is the best one... my friend has one for pc and it works great..

that is sweet.

how do you feel about not being able to change the battery?


edit: well i guess since it's not mainy used for portability you should be alright.

Not just plug and play?? I had no issue and no need to add anything to my dell to add a second monitor.

Never tried a third though


Jake. just sent a mail to you, asking about log in from my old account

That looks like a nice set-up. Unfortunately I need to use my express card slot to connect an external raid array.

looks nice :)

It really hasn't been an issue to this point as most of the time it's hooked-up to power. However, the times that I have run off the battery I have to say that I've never had a laptop with such a long battery life (especially a 17"). I'd say the battery averages about 6 hours under regular use.

Replied earlier today, let me know if you haven't received my response yet.

some impressive set-ups on those links :thumbsup

An adaptor can solve this, I think...

I've used a second monitor with my 17" macpro .. but a thrid??
damn !!!

I'm trying to find a more comfortable way of using a second screen for editing. I'm so used to dual screens when editing on a windows platform .. I was hoping to do the same with the mac ..any ideas for the right configuration?

Was hoping someone here was using 3 monitors with the new 17" MBP. Doesn't look like it so far though.

Looks like none of these can power 2 30" displays

Nope. Definitely not gonna push more than 1 30'' monitor off of any of the Apple laptops.
