Hope so, it would be amazing If you could have one of those thin and lights with a fairly powerful cpu, but low powered integrated gpu for out and about, that when you get home could be docked with an external GTX295 say, for a slice of gaming nirvana.
@TacticalTimbo Agreed, this would be the obvious implementation. Put the external GPU in a DOCK for that thin 'n light. The GPU in the laptop part can be conservative (as long as it can decode video full screen), while the GPU in the dock could have all the bandwidth it needed and power and cooling to boot. A nice compromise. Given the number of docks they'd sell somebody like Dell probably wouldn't be willing to do a custom one for every laptop (since they all, sigh, use custom connectors), but for a few select models...
