Is it possible to run 2 external monitors from the macbook using dual screen ...excluding the built in macbook pro screen?
thanks

Perhaps something like this would do the trick?

Incorrect it is indeed possible as others have stated. Maxtor have a video device that allows you to do it.

See here for a couple of pics of it in action

Just read on TUAW that there's also this alternative too. Not sure if it's gonna retail over here, but kinda cool seeing as it makes use of the ExpressCard slot.

Funny thought, I wonder if you can have that ViDock AND a Matrox on the DVI potentially letting you use up 6 displays incl. the MBP's. Excessive but... boy that'd be a sight eh?

Also there are monitors coming out now that you connect to your computer via USB only. I am not sure if these will work on macs tho. Anyone know if they do?

Here's an example of one....
