One thing about notebooks is that the graphics card is usually lacking. What if you could put one of the nice shiny desktop GPU’s in your laptop? Now that would be pretty sweet.
Unfortunately there are physical limitations that prevent us from doing this. However, a new product from MSI called the Luxium will allow one to connect a desktop graphics card externally. The connection is essentially a PCIe to ExpressCard adaptor.
The device also gives you some USB ports, S/PDIF in/out and 7.1-channel Dolby Digital Support. No word yet on pricing or availability.
