There are two areas where Eurocom cannot compete with other systems on the market so let's get them out of the way now. First up we have portability... this is not a portable system. Can we take it on the move? Yes. But it is massive and very heavy, then with battery life on any normal task being just over an hour there isn't much scope for doing things on the move.

The Eurocom’s extreme price means that this machine will only appeal to a small niche of people, but stratospheric levels of poweracross the board means it’s ideal for those who want to carry out 3D video production, mapping, medical imaging and industrial design. Just don’t expect it to be an easy system to live with: it’s 74mm thick, weighs 5.5kg, and its battery barely lasts for an hour.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
