Poker Laptop Decisions

[SinkRox]

Whats up guys.

I need a desktop replacement kinda laptop, I already have a dell 20inch monitor and will probably get another one in 3 months for a 3screen setup (2x 2007s + laptop).

WRT two secondary monitors, I heard a splitter can be a bit rubbish and cause a 5mm black strip at the edge of the split monitors? A different route could be getting a pcmcia video card, will this be possible for all new laptops?

Also I seriously cant decide on what size laptop / res to get.

One thing to note, I plan to go travelling for 3-6 months in 2 yrs time and will likely need a 17inch 1920x1200 laptop for then (so I can still grind). But until then I would probably prefer a more lightweight laptop (15 inch) considering multi-tabling won't be a problem as I'll have 1 or 2 monitors on my desk.

So maybe get a lightweight 15 inch now and then in 2 yrs before travelling upgrade to a 17inch for multi-tabling?

Id like to hear what people think of the large 17inch 1920x1200 laptops. How easy is it to view the detail (players names + HUD) and how annoyingly large are the machines?
