NEW DELHI: If the current lineup of high-end laptops in the market isn’t cutting it for you, Eurocom’s new offering may interest you. The Canadian computer manufacturer has launched its Sky X9W laptop, a ‘mobile workstation’ upgrade to its already impressive Sky X9 that it released in October last year. Much like many other good things in life, the laptop also has a big price tag, with a starting price point of $2,930 (roughly Rs. 198,000).

As for the GPU, the Sky X9W comes with 8GB Nvidia Quadro M5000M, 4GB Nvidia Quadro M3000M, or a single 200W desktop class 4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 980. Of course, with that sort of processing power, there is a lot of cooling that will be required – and, there are multiple fans on board to do so eurocom_sky_x9w_official_2.jpg
