external graphic card and display

[Monezz]

Just connect a monitor to the vga or dvi connector on your laptop.
I also use a laptop stand (+external keyboard and mouse ) to put the
laptop screen on the same hight as a normal screen, creating an
ergonomic dual screen setup.

Your laptop won't be "eased" by this setup, but modern laptops
shouldn't have noticeable performance cutback from dual screen 2d
processing.
