People, stop complaining about battery life. The bulge on the bottom is CLEARLY a gas tank, come on use your brains...

nvidia 480, probably, still uses more power and runs hotter then that beast lappy

You only found this now Jane? It's been on their site for at least two weeks.

Nope, they actually have a mobile server laptop on their product list, a different model number.

The options for what you can put in a laptop, with Eurocom, are way more than anyone else I've come across. Granted the size and weight are accordingly sizable, but what do you expect, if you want 4 HDs in a RAID, desktop extreme edition CPU, two video cards (perhaps not this model), and crap loads of RAM.

I don't get it. If you are a 3d designer or work with video, you need bigger screen.
If you don't work with 3d and video, you don't need 6 cores.
Who is buying those "portable workstations"?

went to the site and configured one just for kicks... ended up at $7400 CAD.

Now excuse me while I go dream about buying it...

I have the original D900F at work, its great! Once i put it down on my desktop who cares what it weighs!

It needs multi-touch that accepts a pen input then it would be flawless. Love Eurocom laptops, going to put them on top of the list if I need a portable workstation.

They call it a "mobile server" with up to 24GB ram, 4 hard drives of up to 640GB each.
