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.

    You have nailed it.

    Also that is 'top of the line parts'. Notch it down a couple of levels and you are probably in the 1200-1800 range. Not unreasonable at all.

    It is also a quadro part for video. That pretty much adds a couple hundred right there for no reason other than the name. 1000 of that is memory. Drop it to a more reasonable 8-16 and the cost is not as bad.

    I quoted out something similar for an MSI/DellAlienware and it was better all around for about 2700 US bucks. All SSD, top vid card, etc, etc... I am thinking Eurocom is overpriced...
