 | Re: News - GIGABYTE adds external NVIDIA GeForce graphics to Booktop M1305 notebook Why a GTS 220? Why not something with a little more kick and future proofing like a 5770?

| Re: News - GIGABYTE adds external NVIDIA GeForce graphics to Booktop M1305 notebook Laptops should have something like this as an optional add-on... A proper docking station, with an upgradeable PCI-E slot for graphics card, extra storage bay for 3.5" drives (install the games on that rather than the built in drive if you can't play on the move anyway) and a beefed up power supply which also powers the laptop when docked. Doesn't matter that it's large - you keep it at home, attached to a big monitor, keyboard and mouse... come home, dock the lappy and go... hell you could even have a superlight laptop with no optical and have that in the dock as well. If we had that we could actually get rid of our desktops, it would be SO useful. Best of both worlds in 1 machine... Anybody listening? ANNNNYBODY? |

It'd be so convenient... especially if I had a dock at work too... |

| Re: News - GIGABYTE adds external NVIDIA GeForce graphics to Booktop M1305 notebook At least the ATI XGP used an HD3870. The GT220 is a weaker graphics card and the XGP using an HD3870 has been out for ages: http://www.guru3d.com/article/amilo-...ooster-review/ However I am quite happy that BOTH ATI and Nvidia have decided to look at adding this functionality to notebooks!!  Baltar's quote of the day:"All we need is strength! Strength that comes from within! .....and guns! More guns! Bigger guns! Better guns! And when we have those, we will win!"

| Re: News - GIGABYTE adds external NVIDIA GeForce graphics to Booktop M1305 notebook In the future we might see things such as 17" Touchscreen LCD Panels (or w.e. technology they come up with) as the new laptops with lots of optional features such as graphics card docking stations etc. Then we could also have like a "main rig" that connects to it allowing us to do whatever we do now. But I'm happy with a desktop myself TBH. I'm not exactly gonna be playing Crysis whilst on the bus am I? Actually that could be the future lol... |

| Re: News - GIGABYTE adds external NVIDIA GeForce graphics to Booktop M1305 notebook The Express Card slot was supposed to add this but it never transpired really. So it's basically useless except for SSDs as USB is cheaper. |
