Asus shows the future of graphics!

[sri_lion]

Asus's XGstation connects the graphics card tucked in a external box with any laptop that can fit an ExpressCard. Box right now comes with 120W PSU, but the guys are evaluating 150W ones as well. Because of the better cooling environment, this box could prove to be an ideal house for the 8800GTS graphics card, or the upcoming R600XL board, thus offering extreme graphics performance on a notebook.

That's exactly what I thought!! Maybe the idea is to plug in this gadget when you do have a unlimited power source nearby (like at home or office), but while you are mobile you'll still have to use your inbuilt VGA!!!

Yet, I think it'll will have some market.. because up to now the main annoyance when you wanna buy a laptop is it's VGA!!! So when you look at it.. I wouldn't wanna play DOOM 3 or Half - Life while I'm traveling, once I reach my destination I can nicely unpack everything and plug-it and play!!!
