Reviews for the Eurocom Leopard 2.0

80% Eurocom Leopard 2.0
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
With its awesome array of high-end components, the Eurocom Leopard 2.0 is a mighty gaming machine. Sure, it's big and heavy, but not to the point where you can't haul it along to your next LAN party—and expensive, but not to the point of the Alienware M18x. Moreover, the stunning18.4-inch display, robust sound system, and speedy storage make this an ideal alternative to a desktop gaming rig. It's too bad that Eurocom has decided to discontinue this model, as it would have trumped the M18x as our Editors' Choice for $3,000-plus laptops. That said, the Alienware M18x retains its title as the best all-around (and available) high-priced gaming laptop.

AMD Radeon HD 6990M: High-end graphics card from AMD based on the desktop HD 6870, but with slower clock rates. UVD3 decoding and Eyefinity+ technology are still supported.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

2960XM:

18.40": 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.

5.6 kg:

A laptop in this weight range is a heavyweight that you rarely carry around. This is meant for desktops and the devices tend to score with a large display and high performance and replace desktop devices.

Eurocom: Eurocom Corporation is a computer hardware manufacturing company founded in 1989 with offices in Canada and USA. Eurocom produces Desktop Replacement Notebooks and Mobile Workstations. 

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.
