Hi. I have a 15-p058na laptop with 1 x HDMI, 1 x USB 2 and 2 x USB 3. Ideally, I want to be able to add two monitors to show separate websites or other applications but I don't know if this model will support that or whether I can only add one monitor.  I would be grateful for any advice. Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD8510G Graphics if that helps. Many thanks

Well there is only one monitor port on the laptop, the HDMI, but there are USB 3.0 to HDMI adapters that work pretty well and will allow another montior to be added.

Thank you for your response. I called a tech company before posting and they told me to try contacting HP as they didnt do checks for laptops not made by them but they thought I might only be able to use the HDMI.  I was only after generic advice so I think I may have got someone inexperienced. I wasn't sure whether my laptop would let me add two monitors without needing added graphic card/convertor.  Thanks again
