I've done some digging with the Search function, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer. I realize definitive may not exist, but...

Is a dual monitor and docking station setup possible with the System 76 laptops? I'm drooling and waiting on the new Serval Performance. I'll be a new Ubuntu convert. Windoze only to date.

Our computers do not have a docking port. However, you can connect an external monitor to the vga out, and the keyboard and mouse would need to be hooked to the USB ports.

Thanks!

Bummer - but by no means a deal-breaker.

I would also suggest one of those fan-platforms for the serval, and DEFINITELY a keyboard, if you're going to use it extensively. The graphics card sits directly underneath your left palm and it can get uncomfortably hot. The fan platforms can help reduce that quite a bit.
