I continue to see these monstrous things from segate..
If they want to give the chance for a notebook to have a powerful GPU to run games like that on a desktop implement decently in connection for external video card!

And then nobody will buy these laptops if people needs an ultraportable device and battery generous.

To me it makes sense for people who maybe want a laptop instead of the traditional desktop for gaming. Maybe it used to take them back to play in LAN.
Certainly I doubt that is used for business purposes in the business and therefore I do not see a problem if the battery lasts a little less efficient because of the vga.
