Will my Dell Notebook be dual monitor capable?

Sure, but I have just ordered the laptop.

If anyone has a dell 5100, 5160 or probably any recent laptop with a vga
port at the back knows if an external monitor connected to this vga port
works as a dual monitor allowing windows to be moved from from screen to
another etc.
