I haven't received a definitive answer from dell about that. I think monitors with resolution that high usually require a DVI-D dual link connection. Ensure your new computer supports that. If it's a newer laptop, it might not have DVI at all, but DisplayPort or HDMI instead. There are DisplayPort and HDMI to DVI adapters available, though I'm not familiar enough with the specifics to say which would be compatible with your monitor.
