A CANADIAN company that likes the old continent so much that it named itself after it, announced an astonishing notebook. It decided to announce a machine branded the Eurocom F-Bomb. This product is mostly for North American and maybe for European consumers.

Eurocom plans to pack a bunch of everything in its notebooks. It will offer a choice between 17.1-inch WSXGA display supporting 1680-by-1050 pixels with a glossy surface or a super big WUXGA 1920-by-1200 pixels display. You will be able to plug dual core Athlon X2 CPUs up to 4800+ or single core up to 4000+ and FX57. You will be able to plug GB DDR400 modules into two memory slots.

You will be able to choose your upgradeable graphics between 256MB GDDR3 Nvidia Quadro FX 1400, 256MB GDDR3 Nvidia 6800, 256MB GDDR3 Nvidia 6800 Ultra, 256MB GDDR3 ATI Mobility Radeon x800 or 256MB GDDR3 ATI Mobility Radeon x800 XT Platinum Edition. We are sure that this notebook will be able to support Geforce Go 7800 GTX as soon as Nvidia announces it.

When it comes to storage, there is a space for two parallel or S-ATA hard drives and a RAID 0.1 controller. You will be able to plug up to 240GB of this type of storage in. There is a place for two optical drives of your choice. This machine is not missing anything as you will be able to find an internal MCE TV tuner for your TV pleasure. The notebook is equipped with a web camera for video conferencing and 10 in 1 card readers.

When it comes to sound, the machine has 7.1 Surround Sound output, supports SRS WOW and can create virtual eight channel audio output. This is not all, it has a DVI port, four USB 2.0 ports and two Firewire ports.

Don't go wild on the configurator if you're counting your pennies and want them to turn into pounds. ยต
