Eurocom has itself a history of adding Intel's latest-greatest CPUs to its workstation-class notebooks, and it's wasting no time with the wicked-fast Core i7 980X.

Launched a little under a week ago, Intel's hexa-core part became the world's fastest desktop CPU and can now be enjoyed in mobile form via Eurocom's D900F Panther.

The self-proclaimed "Mobile Workstation" measures a chunky 397mm x 298mm x 51-60mm, but there's enough power on offer to put most other notebooks to shame.

Intel's latest CPU - or a choice of Xeon parts - is accompanied by up to 24GB of DDR3 memory, a choice of high-end NVIDIA GeForce or Quadro graphics cards, up to 2.5TB of storage capacity and there's room for a Blu-ray burner, too.

The 17in display offers a 1,920x1,200 resolution, and a 12-cell battery should keep you going for at least a little while.

Pricing for a model equipped with the hexa-core Core i7 980X starts at £2,368, but get creative with Eurocom's configuration options and you can easily break past the £10,000 mark.

The D900F Panther's complete specifications can be found at Eurocom.com.

Does it come with a fork lift truck?
OMG that is a real beast spec and weight
Would be one heck of a LAN machine though :p

All of 4 minutes, while you forklift the machine to the next nuclear power plant.

It's not battery in a laptop sense… it's a built-in UPS… the laptop's weight alone would probably rule out portability beyond moving it from one part of your desk to another…

Am I the only one who wants one? It would take up considerably less space than a comparable desktop…
