Hello,

I need my sim rig to be portable.

I am looking for a laptop that has sufficient ports to run triple display. Each display is 1920 x 1200 (Dells).

I do want 'best value' machine available, not uber spec just to show of my willy size.

Budget is not set.

I want to be able to run the 5760 x 1200 resolution at decent graphic settings, not necessarliy full graphics.

I only play racing simulators. iRacing, project cars....bla bla..>GT Legends

Usually I will research to death for weeks and become a temporary boffin on the latest and greatest, but with this I want to buy one right now and don't care about learning anything. I just want to race my sim rig :)

Many USB ports would be advantageous. Don't care about the laptop screen itself or large HD. Small is best.

Thanks for any thoughts or advise and link to what would be suitable, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Mate,
I have got an ASUS ROG laptop, this is the third one from that series that i have had. They truly are excellent, the cooling and temps are second to none in the laptop world and the ASUS ROG with the 980m would suit you i think for the 3display> Pretty certain they have 3 outputs that you could hook up your monitors to.
 
Hi Straun

You may want to have a look at our range of GT72 notebooks. We can run 4 screens off these (3 x External + Notebook display).

We was at Play Expo last October running on Nvidia 8xx Series with BF4 on 3 external screens. It's really easy to set up with Nvidia Surround and away you go.
