Well, next to my lappy?

:D I would so buy this if it was priced reasonably and evidently beneficial, being stuck with an Intel 945GM integrated.... *Sigh*]]>Jun 10th 2007 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/
Therefore allowing your external graphics card by default to power the monitor it shipped with to it's fullest capabilities, and largely simplyfying both the form factor, and the amount of deskspace you'd need to accomodate all these excess components.

It should be a simple case of plugging in the external gpu capable monitor into my petite notebook and having both focal and GPU tasks passed through simultaneously. Turning my primary notebook screen, into the secondary screen of the augmented setup.

There are even DS-like connotations with that kind of setup, especially if you could use the notebook screen below/next to the bigger unit as your map, inventory, communication window...etc, in games.]]>Jun 10th 2007 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/
Nice idea. Mind if I patent it?]]>Jun 10th 2007 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/
Or al least get one that doesn't try to cram everything in the smallest space possible. ]]>Jun 10th 2007 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/Jun 10th 2007 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/Jun 10th 2007 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/

The ExpressCard slot is a PCIe x1 interface. ONE lane. Not sixteen, one. It has more bandwidth than an old fashioned PCI slot, but not enough for high-end 3D graphics.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong about this. We'll see when these things get out in the wild.]]>Jun 10th 2007 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/Jun 10th 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/Jun 10th 2007 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=38&Code=250310U¤t-category-id=C115F1DCFEEC4FC98B385898D5DB0658
I would just have to use an external monitor... Which from what I understand is still necessary with this getup. soooooo........ wtf? This really isn't all that innovative... ]]>Jun 10th 2007 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/]]>Jun 10th 2007 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/10/msis-luxium-external-graphics-solution-spotted/Jun 19th 2007 3:25AM
