Or another device altogether? <blockquote>In its continual quest to become a household name, computer components maker Asus (TPE: 2357) has announced a gadget they're calling the ROG XG – a “VGA and multimedia docking station” for notebooks. In what Asus describes as a “world's first” for a docking station, the ROG (which, somewhat akwardly, the company claims is an acronym for “Republic of Gamer”) comes bundled with a 256MB graphics card to supplement your notebook's underpowered chipset, as well as a built-in express card interface, two speakers with simulated Dolby 5.1, 6.1 or even 7.1 sound, and a 4-port USB 2.0 hub. The thing looks cool, in a gamer kind of way; cool enough to grab honorable mention at the Red Dot design awards this year. (<a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog-post/asus-announces-multimedia-docking-station" rel="nofollow">More...</a>)</blockquote> (Hmm, no preview, so I hope the html works! If not, maybe you can reformat?) Is this the same thing that you’re writing about? Or another device altogether?

Looking at the picture I'm not totally sold on the fancy stand, I much prefer the look of the mac mini as a tiny box with no frills.

I guess it will depend on the specs. I would hope the desktop model would be around the same or actually less than the laptop model since you don’t get an LCD screen.
