Just My Opinion:

If you work like I do with a desktop setup using 2 monitors on a regular basis then you want that same capability with your laptop. Connecting external monitors can be a pain sometimes with laptops.

I like that the Matrox TripleHead2Go makes adding additional monitors to a laptop easy and you can now add up to three monitors. Just think of the presentations you can create now.

The only downside I see with the Matrox TripleHead2Go is that it isn't compatible with older laptops and desktop systems. I guess it's just another good reason to consider upgrading.

The Matrox TripleHead2Go is a great mobile accessory to have and when you need big space but it's just not feasible to carry extra displays then have the Matrox TripleHead2Go in your laptop case.
