Well, not really, but it is very similar to the Apple Docking Patent that was posted on Gizmodo.

Here is the idea that I posted in October 2007:

Transmutable Laptop

Here's my newest idea for a product.

First of all...here is the problem that this product will solve.  I like having a laptop to travel with, but I also like having a faster, bigger machine when I'm at home.  Same as a lot of people.  But as we all know, switching between the two sort of sucks...keeping things in sync is just tiresome.

So this is what I want.  I want a laptop where you can eject this casing that holds your drive and processor and whatever other component that would be useful.  Then be able to insert this casing into a desktop machine.  The desktop machine will be able to sense that the casing is there and boot from it.  The desktop machine can still be booted without the casing but with the casing in, it can configure itself to utilize both drives and both processors.

How does that sound?  I'd buy it.....gotta work on the name though.

Yeah, the Apple one looks cooler.  And I'm just assuming that it is being docked in a fully functioning desktop Mac and that it'll synch things automatically.  But with Apples reputation, it probably does that and much more.
