Sky
X9 gaming laptop
Eurocom
has announced the Sky X9 gaming laptop, which manages to squeeze down a desktop
class Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 GPU and Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K CPU into a 17
inch laptop.
According
to VR-Zone, the graphics card features a fully unlocked GM204 core with 2048
CUDA cores, as well as 8GB of GDDR5 RAM with a 7 Gbps memory clock.
The
Intel CPU is clocked at 4 GHz (with a turbo-boost up to 4.2 GHz), thanks to its 4
cores and 8 threads. Crikey. We suspect that if you use it on your lap, your
legs might get a little toasty.
Display-wise,
there's two configurations available: Either bog standard 1080p or a massive 4K
screen. There's also room inside for up to four hard drives (2 normal - 2
mounted on a PCIe card).There's even a 2.5W subwoofer packed in there,
alongside fingerprint lock, USB 3.1 port, a Thunderbolt port and 2 MiniDisplay
ports.
So
it appears that the Sky X9 looks set to redefine the meaning of the world
"portable" - though you won't care when you're playing GTA5 on the
train to work, whilst everyone else is stuck with Candy Crush on their phone.
Sadly
no pricing appears to have been announced yet, but given that this is one of
the first laptops to sport a GTX 980, we'd wager that it isn't going to be
cheap.
