Would like to attached dual monitors to my Dell Latitude 5570 and EXTEND. 5570 has one HDMI and one VGA. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/latitude-e5570-laptop/pd

Monitors have one VGA and one Display port.

Processor is Intel Core i7-6600U Processor Base, AMD Radeon R7 M360, 2GB Discrete Graphics

As simple as using VGA out to VGA monitor one and HDMI > Display port converter to monitor two.

Close laptop lid?

Or even better, is there a device I can always keep both externals plugged into then when I arrive only have to plug ONE cable into the laptop?

Thoughts? Thanks!
 
Best thing to use for the set up you want is the Dell E series docking station. you can keep both externals plugged into the docking station and just dock the laptop. You can find them fairly cheap on Ebay. There are a couple different models, just choose the one that fits your needs.
