If you use the advanced docking station, you don't need a W500, many thinkpads,
I've used a T500 & T61, will drive two monitors, one DVI (digital) and one VGA
(analog).
I believe I've tested, but don't remember for sure now, that starting with the
T500
you could drive two monitors *without* the docking station since the machine
has both a display port connector and a VGA connector.
I don't know if ATI or Nvidia graphics are required.

I have a W500 right now driving two external monitors using the VGA and DVI
ports on the Advanced Dock. Works great, you just have to remember to
switch to the ATI graphics chipset before docking, which is done through a
menu on the battery meter.

I just got a request for a laptop with two independent screens. I
don't think thats possible?
If there are current models that can do that I'm all ears. I am
expecting that my user wants a Win7 system.
Thanks!
