HG - Computex 2010 - MSI - GUS - An External GPU for notebooks with only a crappy IGP

The GUS - Graphic Upgrade System, and this time you have the option of changing the GPU to your own liking, so long as it can run on the 90W spec. The external GPU casing connects to a notebook via ExpressCard/34 and the unit without the graphics card is said to be available for US $110 to $120. Pretty good deal if you ask us.

Asking the country distributor might be the best bet to know how to get your hands on one of these, if MSI does have it out of prototype.

Only with an external display that connects to the GPU on the external body. Notebook LCDs typically don't have any sort of input from an external source.

From what I gather, the estimate ETA to market is around September in Taiwan and later this year for the rest of the world market.

No,according to some "spys" from notebook forums,it stopped developing due to external screen and unstable system design.

Pretty lame answer for this interesting thing.

There are still ViDock and PE4H for external VGA card solutions.
