I use a laptop with 2 external monitors (I turn the internal one off), however, it does suck that you are limited to 2.
I have a Thinkpad W530 and can connect 4 external monitors :-) But I didn't get around to setup and use this capability (it also only works with the docking station, otherwise only 2+internal).
Why do you turn off the internal one? I use a screen layout which works well with one or more external monitors (I does limit playement of the laptop though).
Because you can normally only use 2 monitors per video card( I guess yours has the option run 2 on an integrated and 2 on a dedicated card?) and any 1 of my external monitors is much better than the 15" laptop screen. If I had the option of running all 3 of them, I'd take it.
At any rate, nowadays I use my laptop purely as a desktop computer (external monitors, keyboard, mouse; almost never using it outside of home), so I am just going to build a desktop (with 2 graphics cards) next time around. With the level of functionality that smartphones and tablets have today, laptops are becoming obsolete for users like me.
My thinkpad has two integrated ones. One for power saving, one for gaming and can really drive 4 screens. The docking station is dumb (but expensive nonetheless).
There are external graphics cards or splitters you could use e.g. matrox triplehead2go.
