Eurocom Lets Loose D901C Phantom-X 'Server' Laptop
Eurocom has launched the D901C Phantom-X laptop, a piece of machinery you don't see every day. It is no accident that the word server is being used in the title. The Phantom-X can be configured with a server based Intel Xeon X3360 quad-core chip running at 2.83GHz (45nm, 12MB of L2 cache), 17-inch 1920x1200 display, a 2x Blu-ray burner, up to 8GB DDR2-800 of RAM, a pair of GeForce 8800M Go GTX graphics chips, three 64GB solid state disk drives (each one of these adds around $1400 to the price a piece), as well as Windows Server 2008 OS. The overall price of the laptop with all optional parts maxed out is roughly $10 000, not a bad deal for a laptop (joke). If you ask about the battery life, it's a twelve cell Lithium Ion one that will power the laptop for an hour. So if you're looking for the ultimate laptop this is probably the best one you can find. An updated model that will have the physical space to integrate up to six hard drives for up to 3TB of storage space is also planned for September.

They last 5 seconds into POST giving you the opportunity to show off you mad rig to your rich friends :p
Of course, they forgot the *: "Nuclear power plant not included!"
Other than that x2 "HOLY ****"
Also, wouldn't your lap be on fire?
you could set up a grassroots business around one of these, then move office to the bahamas every so often :roll:
I can sort of understand the 10K price tag, but the sad thing is that in three years that'll be about 1K worth of hardware. :(
This thing can do wonders for field-research teams needing tons of computational power (and networking) on the move, I'm sure as hell it won't draw power on par with a rack/tower.
