Eurocom launches the Sky Z7 R2 gaming laptop with desktop-grade Intel Rocket Lake CPUs, PCIe 4.0 support and mobile RTX 3000 GPUs

[Redaktion]

The new Sky Z7 R2 from Eurocom is among the first laptops to feature PCIe 4.0 support thanks to the inclusion of a desktop-grade Intel Z590 motherboard. This allows one of the NVMe SSD slots and the GPU to benefit from increased bandwidth. Specs for the Sky Z7 R2 include an i9-11900K CPU, up to 128 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, up to 26 TB SSD storage, max TGP+boost mobile RTX 3000 GPUs, HFD 300 Hz or 4K 60 Hz 17.3-inch displays and 2x Thunderbolt 4 connectors.

I'm trying to imagine a use case that is so justified, that it itself justifies spending anywhere near 10K on this.

I purchased a Eurocom Panther several years back and it was a BRICK.. Super heavy ( 10lbs ) and massive in size. The power adapter itself must have weight 2lbs.

I used it mainly because I travel a lot and liked the extra horsepower but it's definitely not something I could use outside of a hotel/office environment.

I couldn't even fit it on a Starbucks table...

I love DTR laptops, but the idea of squeezing Rocket Lake into one is bizarre. You could have 16 Zen 3 cores with lower power usage and higher performance.
