    ^This, current ClientCo uses them, because some brainiac decided to save £50 from the price of a proper docking station that is available for the lapies they use.

    I've seen this:-
    Matrox DualHead2Go Digital SE | Multi-Monitors for Laptops

    Anyone got one? Are they any good?
    Had a dualhead2go (well still have it in a box somewhere) worked ok. Did have some issues with it sometimes, but generally worked ok.

    What is the model/spec of your laptop?
    What connectors does it have?

    I have similar but works with USB 2.0. I think it's this one from Maplin for 50 notes.

    Worked well with client laptop though did have to install a driver. Not a problem as I had admin rights on the laptop.

    More recent comments suggest it may not work with Windows 10 (I used it with Windows 7 without a problem) so the newer more expensive alternatives may be better.

    That takes a mini display and turns it into 2xHDMI. So even less use.

    FYI Mini Display supports multi-monitors already.

    How big is the laptop screen?
    Can't you just use one extra monitor and the laptop?
