As far as multiple monitors, you can actually do a quad monitor setup via a laptop these days if you so desire. I use the following for a backup system.... It does require that you purchase a Thinkpad with Nvidia Optimus graphics and a dock... You can also do triple monitors (including the laptop) without a dock...
