NVidia is making a big push in the notebook graphics space, in stark contrast to their desktop space where all the cards are stacked up on Fermi.  In an interview with XBitlabs, they discuss some of their initiatives and get to the possibility of some type of external GPU adapter for video cards.

“I think it is a big opportunity. We have two strategies at NVIDIA: one is to put graphics everywhere, the other one is to integrate discrete chips into the box. I think there is definitely a place for [external graphics cards for notebooks], no question. We continue to look at wheather this is a GPU [docking stations] or external devices,” said Rene Haas, general manager of the notebook GPU business at NVIDIA

Then, almost destined, reporters found the Gigabyte M1405 at a trade show in Taiwan that comes with an integrated Intel GMA 4500 inside, but an external GeForce GT220.
