Acer spoke to TechRadar regarding AMD's XGP external graphics for notebooks and revealed the technology doesn't offer the best user experience. However, Acer is still interested in the technology, and the company is expected to launch an XGP product sometime later this year.
However, in response to TechRadar's probings about a release date Acer responded with a less than flattering description of XGP, even though it has already used the port part of the technology in its Ferrari laptop.

"Acer is interested in this solution, but at the moment it doesn't offer the best user experience," said a spokesman for the company.

Now obviously, TechRadar contacted AMD to get to the bottom of this, and the company responded by saying: "AMD has been working closely with Acer to bring XGP to market.
