      No it doesn't on it's own or with the dock. You can use USB to VGA or HDMI adaptors however.

      Noooo!

        One of my clients had the original Surface pro and loved it. As a lawyer he found the small size but with full POWER to be exactly what he was looking for.

        Personally I want something like the Asus Transformer Book Duet (https://www.asus.com/us/News/hnzqzGZ8TfSnrQTo) to replace my aging Asus Transformer Tf101. Larger screen, and dual OS makes it sound as if it could be the best of both worlds.

          I tried an early one and hated it. So slow and unresponsive. Very painful to use.

            The Surface Pro2 is anything but slow and unresponsive so far. I did a quick test of the first one and really disliked it as well.

              Doesn't take much to be faster than my desktop. It's the touch screen that makes the responsiveness an issue.

                It has two displays if you include the device itself as one display. That's how most laptop users I work with use their docking stations.

                  I hate doing that. A key reason why I hate docking laptops.

                    I did connect my Surface to a 27" today for a bit via the USB-DVID adaptor. Worked very well and did use the Surface as one and the 27" as the second monitor. So I know it works very well.

                      The Surface Pro 2 has a mini Display port. That is what you are suppose to use to connect a second monitor by default. Of course that means you'll typically require a Mini Displayport dongle to convert to VGA or DVI since not to many monitors currently support direct input of Displayport yet.

                      Using the Displayport and a USB video adapter you should be able to get 2+ additional screens besides the Surface Pro 2 itself.

                        Favorite thing so far is the easy of having everything synced with my desktop. So I can move to the couch or out on the deck and not miss a beat on Skype, lync, email even web pages I had last open.
