15. Conclusions

We come away from this review with a number of different conclusions.

First, we get an idea of just how different notebooks based on the same basic platform can be. Sure, we have the same chassis and mainboard here, and even the same graphics system in SLI mode. The CPUs and operating systems, though, really transform these systems into different animals. The resulting benchmarks are a lot less significant because these machines are optioned so differently, but they’re interesting in that they give us an idea of what the price difference between similarly equipped models will get you.

Speaking of price, it was interesting looking at the difference the buyer would see if they purchased a similar notebook from either company. It certainly looked like M-Tech offers a similar product for a lower price, but we must keep in mind that this was only one permutation of a virtually infinite list of options. It is difficult to say that either company charges significantly more than the other unless you option out your specific dream notebook on both websites and have a look at the results.

From what our tests have shown, the D900C desktop replacements from both Eurocom and M-tech are solid machines that won’t disappoint in either workstation or gaming environments. We certainly don’t have a problem recommending both based on the results of our testing.

Author’s Opinion

I find it exciting that more power is becoming more portable. I purchased my first notebook last year and have been very pleased with it; even though it’s a budget model, it has been able to do everything I throw at it to my satisfaction, even most games. It’s nice to know that when I inevitably upgrade it in the years to come, its successor will likely have more power than my current desktop.
