Eurocom Launches Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Processor in its Panther 2.0 Notebook

[n-ster]

Actually, that base price doesn't include the 990X or the GTX485. The base price includes a 930 and a GTX460M.

The base price for the 990X and the GTX485M is $4100. Though I think I would go with the 980X and GTX470M if I was configuring it and end up at a slightly more reasoable $3500.

yea I realized that after... :S

How does the battery even provide enough current to power this thing at full load? Never mind for any duration.

I don't know, but the charger is 300w lol

It uses the same technology as the battery packs in a Prius?

I notice a lot of people underestimate the batteries in these laptops, or they are just really exagerating.

A laptop of this class has to be really big, mainly really thick, to handle all the cooling for the processor and video card. Because of this, it means they can stick a battery in that is also larger. So while a normal laptop comes with a 3 or 6 cell battery, this laptop is likely going to have a 9 or 12 cell battery. Battery life really won't be all that much worse than a cheap laptop with a 3 cell battery, in fact it would probably be about the same really.

Sexy

But there is no way I could afford this.

Li-Ion Battery 88.8Wh

That's 10 x 18650 3.7V 2400mAh cells.

Or half an hour at 177.6W load with 100% efficiency all the way.

but its unlikely it will use that at normal usage, if it turn on Asrock ies on my mobo then the processor power consumption drops to 13.8watt on a deneb processor, assuming (as is normal) that intel have better power management then amd, wouldn't be surprised if under normal use the processor idled at something like 500mhz and used 5watt (lets face it, what do you do on a laptop that would place full load on a 990x)

You asking a TPU user?

Yeah, running wcg on this is just going to turn it into a fan heater

Full load would be something like 250W. It comes with a 300W brick. The "up to" time is only rated at 1.5 hours, so that means even Eurocom think it eats 60W for light usage.
And really, that's perfectly reasonable for something with an i7, X58 and a GPU(s) from 60W to 2x100W.

the 6970M CFX is 6850 CF basically... imagine, a 990X + 6850CF, in a frekin laptop

Exactly, half an hour for desktop replacement is reasonable. You don't buy these to use while moving around. The thing weighs 12 lb., this isn't a laptop you take around to class with your, or even put on your lap...
