The folks at Eurocom have released another monster 'mobile workstation'

This time around the company's released the Sky X9W complete with a quad-core, eight-thread, Intel Core i7 6700K capable of operating at 4.2GHz and nestled amidst an Intel Z170 Express (Skylake) chipset. The NVIDIA Quadro M5000M dwarfs the CPU for core count: it's got 1,536 of its own.

Pack in 64GB of DDR4-2133, 2400 or 2666 RAM, if you please, then throw in up to four NVME SSDs and give them the RAID 10 treatment for data protection.

There's also a 17.3 inch 4K screen at 3840 x 2160.

[... it also has] a single USB-C port, a pair of mini display ports capable of driving four monitors, an HDMI outlet, five USB 3.0 ports, a pair of RJ45s and Wi-Fi.

Configurations start at $2930 (and weigh in at 4.8 kg / 10.6 lbs — ouch!) , but you can configure it to a price well over $4000.

    the monitor isnt going to stay attached to the "computing device"
    for very much longer now.

    i predict, that soon, the monitor will be weared on the head and there
    will some thin phiber optic cable connecting it to some gray non descript
    (but well ventilated) mortar brick kinda thingy.

    ofc there will be the wireless display option also where the brick
    talks to the goggles wirelessly ... but thats not gonna fly with
    the enthusiast crowd.

    honestly, tho, awesome hardware too bad it doesnt reflect my current
    financial situation.

    if i had cash to burn, i'd get a samsung S7 and that VR GEAR so i can sit
    in bed and watch the latest greatest yify movie wirelessly streaming from my
    seagate wireless (samba enabled) 4 TB HDD that some other arm device has
    filled up via some fiber optic internet connection ...
    maybe a damn finger ring to replace the mouse would be nice.

    oh also if they could enable the backside camera on the S7 when it's slided
    into the VR googles, so i can overlay the camera view with the movie so i can see
    the plate with food also and dont have to take off the helmet for the
    next spoonfull of maceroni and cheese ... pls?

    Or... The audio/video output will be transmitted directly to your brain. Virtual reality to the max.
