Dell Precision 7550 dual monitor max resolution @60Hz

Hello,

I am looking for a laptop and have found Dell Precision 7550 (i7-10850H/32GB/512GB/FHD/W10), without a discrete card. I will be using it with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 or newer for software development and office tasks (no gaming). How can I find out if it supports two external monitors with resolution 1440p each at 60Hz?

 

Thank you in advance.

@konfilios  It supports up to 3 displays, each of which can be up to 4K 60 Hz.  Intel GPUs have supported that since years before the one built into that system's CPU.  However, while I'm not well versed in Linux, Dell's dock documentation notes that on Linux, the built-in display can't be completely disabled as is possible in Windows and therefore it always counts toward the GPU's 3 display max.  So you may only be able to run 2 external displays, but yes you can certainly run dual QHD displays.  I ran dual QHD displays via daisy chaining from a Mini-DisplayPort output on an XPS 15 9530 from late 2013.
