The first product based on ATI’s new XGP technology, allowing a laptop to connect to an external GPU for better graphics is apparently about to hit the market. Fujitsu Siemens is preparing an XGP device called the Lasso designed to be used with their Amilo laptops.
The Lasso runs an M88 mobile version of the RV670-based GPU (another RV670 GPU is the HD 3800) and supports PCIe 8X.
No benchmarks or screencaps/videos of the Lasso in action yet, but you can see some photos of the device at Fudzilla along with some ATI Catalyst Control screens.
If this device can be used with other laptops than the Amilo line, WANT!

Most of his mobile time currently is spent on a Treo Pro, Zune HD, Thinkpad T61, Gigabyte M912M or a Hackintoshed Compaq Mini 704.
