- Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition
$329
One of the big problems with notebooks is the limitation on displays — you can use the one that’s in the notebook itself, and maybe the external port, but that’s it. Matrox’s TripleHead2Go gets around the limitation by turning that one external port into a triple-wide display that it then splits onto three separate displays. You’ll want to match the displays to make sure everything lines up properly, of course. A full list of compatible computers is available at the Matrox website.Shiny
