An interesting idea of having the docking station contain a more powerful graphics card it uses a lightpeak/Thunderbolt connection to maintain the link
External graphics cards have been around for a while but they are usually crap this is a radeon 6650M. It's a smart way to maintain the portability and power consumption on the go and have the option of more grunt when the thing is tethered.

That's a really good idea...shame the price for that model is £2700. Which is a bit like rape really...
That's an insane cost. Cost that high makes them Hitler.
true but if sony can do it for ridiculous money some more sensible company will put the same thing together with duck tape for a fiver
sony stuff always carrys a massive premium in this case its also a tiny laptop with SSD so that's three times the markup right there
the interesting bit of this is the lightpeak to PCIExpress bus bridge which should be a 10's of dollars chip.
