With the Eurocom Racer Gaming-Notebook being a 15.6" machine, it therefore supports the recent generation of TDP graphics cards with up to 100 Watts of power. As a result, the latest notebook from Eurocom can be customized with 7 different GPU options. Furthermore, the notebook can be customized with either a matte or reflective display and up to a Full-HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.

"The EUROCOM Racer is currently the fastest 15.6" notebook with the widest selection of VGA options." says Mark Bialic, President and CTO of Eurocom, and with the multiple options available he's most likely correct. The gaming notebook comes with a 180-watt power supply and starts with a base price tag of $1,249.
