Eurocom Scorpius Ultra High Performance Notebook

For those who don't know that high-end gaming doesn't really take an absurd amount of resources, Eurocom has created the Scorpius ultra high performance notebook.

The company essentially did its best to make the best laptop powerful, regardless of how much buyers will have to pay for it. We may as well get this out of the way: the lowest possible price is $1,793 (1,458 Euro), but dual-GPU graphics and other top-tier parts will cause the tag to soar to $2,857 / 2,324 Euro, possibly more. “The Eurocom Scorpius is an out of this world High Performance Notebook Computer. Like the mythical creature that stung and killed Orion, the EUROCOM Scorpius will take down any competition standing in its way, while allowing gamers to do the same,” states Mark Bialic, Eurocom president. “We have been getting out of this world benchmark results with the EUROCOM Scorpius. Simply put, this is the most powerful system of its kind on the planet.” Eurocom Scorpius measures 17.3 inches in diagonal (1,920 x 1,080 Full HD resolution) and relies on the quad-core, 2.9/3.8 GHz Intel Core i7-3920XM Extreme CPU (HM77 chipset).

Up to 32 GB of DDR3 1333/1600/1866 random access memory back up the chip, along with one or two mobile graphics adapters. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M, Quadro K3000M/4000M and AMD Radeon HD 7970M can all be selected, in one or dual-GPU configurations. Furthermore, with as many as four different storage devices (2 x HDD, Optical Drive, mSATA drive), there should never come a time when there is insufficient space to copy or install applications. Other specs include a backlit keyboard (WASD gaming keys, separate numeric keypad), four USB 3.0 ports, eSATA, a 9-in-1 card reader, Sound Blaster X-Fi MB2 audio, two 2W ONKYO speakers + Subwoofer, headphone and mic jacks, LAN. DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4a and an 8-cell battery.

 Finally, Eurocom's notebook weighs around 3.5 kilograms (7.71 pounds) and measures 419 x 286 x 24-49.7 mm (16.49 x 11.25 x 0.94-1.95 inches).
