    I can't decipher what you said before "cause I have 2 spare monitors at home" but I can tell you that you won't get a definitive answer here. The reason is that embedded video solutions are all tweaked for each OEM's specific needs. Each laptop does multi-display with external monitors slightly different depending on the OS, the BIOS and the hardware configuration. Also, you didn't specify what kind of graphics is in yours so we can't even tell whether it's a decent one or some crappy El Cheapo solution. :P

    I have done this on my laptop. There's not much reason it shouldn't work provided that your laptop is capable of running 5 instances in the first place. I suppose it does depend on your specific hardware, but with the right laptop it's possible.

    I'm doing it on my lappy and works like a charm.. can't say it will work 100% on urs but give it a try if you have any spare. only thing you will have to get used to is the different screen size and the fact that the mouse if likely to hide in a corner where you cant see it :P

    You can connect another monitor to your laptop. But in order to run instances smoothly, it would be better if your laptop is running on a good gfx card and not an onboard one.

    Discreet video is pretty much required to run a single instance of WoW on a laptop, let alone multibox.
