Nearly every laptop has this feature. I have a Compaq. I use it for my 
presentations at the Unix course I teach at Northeastern University and for 
our monthly Linux meetings at the BLU. I plug the overhead VGA cable into 
the external monitor port, and when I boot both the LCD, the PC monitor and 
the overhead display my presentation. Function-F3 switches between LCD 
only, external only and both.
