Power efficiency in the new processors allows for significantly longer battery life combined with increased performance.
Graphics
The Panther 4.0 is equipped with dual MXM 3.0B slots rated for 100W GPUs and is ready to SLI the fastest NVIDIA GeForce, Quadro and AMD Radeon GPUs. The EUROCOM Panther 4.0 is a Workstation class Laptop with support for professional class NVIDIA Quadro K5000M, K4000M, K3000M, K2000M graphics as well as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M, 770M, 765M and AMD Radeon HD 8970M.
Fully OpenGL 4.1 compliant and supporting a colour depth of 10 bits per channel provides the tools graphics and multimedia professionals need to do their jobs on the go. For heavy duty rendering where the utmost accuracy is required, the K5000M's ECC (error correcting code) memory is up to the task. NVIDIA Quadro cards offer OpenGL quad buffered stereo support, for a smooth experience working with complex 3D models.
Memory
EUROCOM Panther 4.0 uses quad channel memory, and enables the Panther 4.0 to initially support up to 32 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM via four 8GB SODIMM 204 pin modules. With such massive amounts of RAM available and high performance Intel Core i7 processors, the Panther 4.0 becomes a great tool for virtualization and high performance professional computing environments.
Storage
The Panther 4.0 has support for four Solid State, Hybrid, or Enterprise level drives with RAID 0,1,5,10 capability. With support for up to four 1.5 terabyte storage drives, the Panther 4.0 is able to offer 6 terabytes of storage. RAID 0,1,5,10 capability gives users the ultimate in performance or redundancy. SSD drives in particular will benefit from the use of the SATA 6Gbp/s standard available on 2 ports, eliminating bottlenecks for the fastest SSD drives.
Display
The EUROCOM Panther 4.0 has six choices of 17.3" Full HD 16:9, 1920x1080 displays, with choices of Matte, Glossy and 120 Hz matte.
The EUROCOM Panther 4.0 is available as a 3D enabled system or a non 3D system, as always Eurocom puts the choice in the hands of the customer. Supporting 3D technology provides users with an immersive 3D experience in games, movies, and any content with built in depth.
The EUROCOM Panther 4.0 will also support Quad Buffering 3D technology, via supported NVIDIA Quadro cards to further enhance the capability and professional deployment of the Panther 4.0.
Ports
The Panther 4.0 is equipped with a multitude of ports to connect to a variety of specialized equipment. High definition audio and video interfaces are supported to connect the Panther 4.0 to all the peripheral devices you need: S/PDIF is a digital audio interconnect standard based on the professional AES3 standard, it can carry two channels of PCM audio or multi channel surround sound. FireWire 800 is a high bandwidth, low latency isynchronous and asynchronous data delivery interface, ideal for audio, video and graphics transfer. HDMI 1.4a is a high quality audio and video interface ideal for transferring uncompressed audio and video from the computer system to digital devices. Display Port 1.2 is generally used to connect a video source, being the computer to a display device but can also be used to transmit audio. DVI-I is a digital and analog interface designed to transmit uncompressed video. The system allows for fast and easy media transfer though the 9 in 1 card reader.
The slot ExpressCard 54 slot is compatible with 34 mm wide cards as well as 54 and allows for additional connectivity of peripheral devices to the Panther 4.0, including a Magma Express Box expansion chassis containing optional PCIe cards such as video capture, media transcoding, audio processing.

8 Comments on Eurocom Ships Intel Core i7-4960X in its Panther 4.0 Supercomputer-Class Laptop
It should be labeled as a "Mobile Workstation", something that is powerful, portable, and easy to set up, but was never meant for a 7 hour flight from McChord to Robins :roll:
Probably we can use that one for heating up water :) joke..
interesting though...
I think it was a Clevo D700F or D500F...... something along those lines they put 920 up to a 980X i7s in there and usually have one new model every 2 years or so.
The cooling in these laptops is amazing and they really do not run all that warm.
