Eurocom launches Quadro notebook

Eurocom, a Canadian company, has just introduced a very powerful notebook powered with Nvidia latest Quadro FX GO 1400 core and it aims at game developers, digital content creators and engineers who rely on OpenGL GPUs and need some extra power.

Apart from this powerful OpenGL core, this notebook features ultra high resolution 17-inch UXGA 1920x1200 pixel display, up to 3.8GHz socket 775 desktop CPU, and DDR 2 533 MHZ memory. It weighs 13lbs but it's really packed and powerful machine.

Of course, Eurocom offers upgradeable graphic marchitecture with a 256MB GDDR3 version of Quadro FX 1400 with OpenGL card and you can plug two physical hard drives and get up to 240GB in SATA or IDE/ATA. It supports Raid 0 and 1 as well.

You can plug two DVD or CD devices in the machine and you get two Firewire ports, a Gigabit LAN card, an internal TV Tuner, DVI connector and integrated web camera.

The fun part is that you can change this graphic card for either a 256MB DDR1 NVIDIA Geforce Go 6800 or a 256MB DDR3 ATI Mobility Radeon x800 or just stick with the default 256MB DDR3 Nvidia Quadro FX Go1400 with OpenGL.

Eurocom is definitely making some interesting notebooks fast, implementing some new marchitectures inside and making a noise about them. It is on the right track. µ [You after one of these or something? Ed.]
