When the first laptops started being sold, it was common to see several add-on products that would improve or increase their functionality. Nowadays there are all sorts of things you can plug in via USB, but back then it was all done through the PCMCIA slot.

This new addon takes advantage of PCIexpress to bring great 3D performance to laptops without gaming-oriented graphics card and 5.1 audio surround. The graphics card is an Nvidia 8600GT, which should be enough for more gamers.

As detailed as the original article is they failed to mention the price, nor can I find it on Asus’ announcement. So I guess we’ll have to wait a few more days to find out how much they will be selling it for.
