It was cool if it actually would process for the laptop screen. For a external screen I have my desktop already at home...

Where can i buy one?

@dman0331gmodgames You need that special PCI-E connector I could probably use it cause I have a FSC Amilo Sa 3650 which has the port, it comes with an external 3870 though.

@HontouniZoom this is what I'e been searching for myself, it seems that the simple answer is no. there is a hack to do this if you do some research but I advise only experts try it out. also if your lappy has an hdmi IN then it might make your life easier. however these are all PCI connected (all eGPUs solutions I found) and the card is configured to send the video feed to it's ports, not back through the PCI
I am now waiting for a thunderbolt solution for my mac, maybe that will answer it :)

Looks like it would be an awesome solution for a college student who games but also needs a laptop.
Just so you know, you need an ATI XGP ready laptop/netbook to be able to use the ATI XGP. You can't use it with older laptops that don't have this technology installed, which seems a little against the point of wanting one.

Just to make it clear for everyone. To use an external graphics card via XGP, you do NOT need an ExpressCard slot. What you DO need is a XGP slot. It's a special port, for special cables, and it's nothing like the current standards (USB, eSATA, ExpressCard, SD, etc.). Existing external graphics card solutions that use ExpressCard, like ViDock, are connected to the ExpressCard slot, which is connected to the motherboard through PCIe x1 (one lane). XGP connections are PCIe x8 (better speed).
