Eurocom's D900K F-Bomb: The Monster Car of Gaming Notebooks

Eurocom's D900K F-Bomb notebook is large, heavy and, when in the middle of a challenging game, noisy and hot. Still, even compared to Dell's powerful XPS M1710, the computer delivers very good performance and has the kind of cachet associated with the best of the monster gaming machines.

Yes, 39.6. Fixed. Thanks.

Sorry, I must not have been clear enough in my original post, the height and depth of the f-bomb seem to be wrong also. 1.9*2.54= 4.8 not 3.86 and 11.7*2.54=29.7 not 23.47

Thanks.

Yes these Clevo notebooks. Even Alienware just sells a slightly tuned version of a Clevo. I bought my Sager 9860 from Powernotebooks.com about 17 months ago. Never have had a single problem with any of the components. However I did specify a 7200 rpm HD, and Corsair RAM.

I think the testing was well done. However, the Dell had a 7200 rpm HD, the Eurocom had a 5400 rpm HD. Big difference there. The Dell also has 2 gigs of RAM, Eurocom 1 gig, once again advantage Dell. 7900 vs 7800 video card, hmm I wonder? Dell has alot of cash to throw around, so they can get their hands on the biggest, fastest, newest, most cutting edge components that smaller shops cannot. Stupid little differences like this make a test like comparing apples to oranges. Everything is not equal. If they wanted to make the test interesting, why didnt they set the Eurocom up in RAID 0 with 7200 rpm drives, and 2 gigs of ram? If your spending that much, whats a coupla hundred dollars.

BTW. you can spend around $3577.28 from Powernotebooks and have a system that will pretty much thrash the Dell in this article. Dont believe it? Go take a look for your self.

Personnaly Im not a fan of Dell products. I know more people that have more problems with Dell than anything. For instance, a close friend of mine has a Dell laptop. When he first got it, it worked well enough, but over the course of the last year it has gotten worse and worse performance wise, and stability wise. This is after reinstalling Windows and updating all device drivers. He has asked for Dells help many times, but it falls on deaf ears. Good company, decent products, sometimes horrible customer support.

It is a desk top replacement, I have the intel version have been running it for almost a year now (Hypersonic). No problems, works like a charm.

Clevo kicks out a mean machine there is no question about it. Even their true lappys are hard to beat.

Oh and best way to cool it is two 16oz bottle caps off of any pop bottle, prop the back of machine on them and you got a nice breeze way for air. And take the covers off the flash slots as well.

Clevo makes those models. The problem with Clevo is 500 unit minimum order (they are a true ODM).

Clevo supplies to Sager (it is actually the guys son).
It is the identical machine.

The Clevo can compete pretty well with even the latest of machines. Amazing considering that particular design has been around for almost two year now and hasn't changed much in that time.

I'm waiting to see what they will come up with next!

:x ......I've been in the market for a truly powerful Notebook for several months and I have been scouring web sites like Tom's for as much info as I can get. Unfortunately, I keep getting distracted by patheticly poor and ever worsening quality writing on this web site ! I'm really starting to get fed up the situation ! I give you one of many examples below........

"Eurocom has promised to send us an SLI powered notebook after we finished this review. We anxiously await the arrival of the computer and promise to test fully test it and get the results to you with all due speed."

.....If you don't see what's wrong with the above writing, then never mind. All is well. Unfortunately, for folks like me, I have been taught how to read and write the English language and you would think Tom has a proof reader or two to weed this stuff out. I'm not talking about the odd typographical error from time to time, rather, this site is literally decaying in the writing quality department. Come on Tom ! Clean up your writing please.
