Recommendation for a notebook capable of dual display 1920 x 1080

[fliptoback]

Hi,

I am new to this forum and would appreciate some help.

I am looking to get a new notebook capable of running 2 external monitors at full HD 1920 x 1080, either with HDMI or DisplayPort and if possible, do so without the use of a notebook dock.

It will be even better if the notebook's LCD screen can remain on and become the 3rd display but it is not essential.

The notebook need not be the cutting edge machine here and I will be happy with an i5 processor, but should be capable of expanding up to 8GB of ram.

Any machine in mind that I could look at?

Many thanks

Thanks Pepper_John. I hope to get both ports with digital signal. Perhaps HDMI + DVI or HDMI + Displayport. I m not too keen on VGA port. Any ideas?
