Yes, it looks that way. Didn't think they would actually build them that way, but it was the only explanation that made sense. You can of course test this copying a large file across an external drive, first via the hub and then via your USB port on the notebook. I'll admit that I don't know a lot about these USB adapters - I was looking at one a couple of years ago (maybe 2006 or 2007) and every time the screen refreshed, you could see it quite clearly.

I got this for trading
Our Best 15 Inch Laptop | ThinkPad T550 | Lenovo Australia

Comes with the $240 dock for $1, which allows for 2 monitors to be plugged in.

Got DVI and regular D-sub plugged in for 3 monitors, the screen on the laptop is also upgraded to full HD.

Only complaint I got is that loading too much stuff in one go, the screens will lag a bit.

@AMGT I gotta set myself up like yours, my monitors are too spread out right now. (laptop - monitor - monitor), hurts my neck looking left all day.

That sounds like a good spec laptop!!

The monitor positioning I'm using is indeed great. At first I thought that having the "joint line" right in front of me would be a nuisance. Since each monitor is used for a different instrument and kind of "self contained", the joint is no problem at all! I'm very happy with it so far, although I'm planning to add a third monitor to the left (you can never have enough monitors, right?
