I'm looking at a Toshiba laptop (Toshiba Satellite S70-BBT2G23 Laptopwith i7) and the 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon™ R9 M265X graphics. Is the video card capable of dual outputs (2 monitors)?

Yes, yes it is capable of multi display output. In fact the i7-4720HQ itself can support 3 displays ref: http/ark.intel.com/products/78934/Intel-Core-i7-4720HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz (under Graphics Specifications)

Nosy question: Will you be using the trackpad on this laptop, or an external mouse?

External mouse more than likely.

Thanks for the assist to all. I will be using a wireless mouse.

External mouse more than likely.

Nice looking laptop, by the way. The only reason I asked about the external mouse, was because I was wondering (if you are right-handed) if you are concerned about the hot air from the fan exhaust blowing on your hand while using an external mouse. Not sure why Tosh has decided to move the exhaust to the right side on most of their laptops. not the best of ideas.

My current Satellite exhausts to the left. Interesting that they would now have it on the right as most folks are right handed... The price isn't bad. I think Toshiba could make their "build your computer" page a bit easier to navigate. I needed to go to a 'Chat' to find what I was looking for. I retired with some IT experience, mostly networking, but PC hardware has never been one of my strengths. I will be doing some photo shopping and will also be using second monitor to display my NASCAR race scores in the man-cave... haha... very important use of dual output card. Thanks again for your input!
