The Panther 4.0 laptop is not featherweight as the MacBook Air or thin and light ultrabooks available today, but packs server equipment into a laptop chassis and could be a mobile version of entry-level servers. The laptop has a 17.3-inch screen and weighs 12.1 pounds (5.5 kilograms).

The laptop has Intel's recently introduced Xeon E5-2690 server chip, which is generally targeted at tower, rack or blade servers for tasks ranging from cloud to high-end computing. The laptop measures 419 millimeters (16.76 inches) in width, 286mm (11.44 inches) in depth and between 57.9mm (2.28 inches) and 62.1mm (2.44 inches) in height.

A basic US$4,662 laptop configuration has a Xeon E5-2690 eight-core chip running at 2.9GHz, 500GB hard drive, Nvidia GTX 580M graphics card, three USB 3.0 ports, a two-megapixel webcam, DVD-RW drive, media card reader and Wi-Fi.

The mobile servers are ideal for professionals "who frequently travel yet need access to high-performance computing," Eurocom said in a statement. The laptop can also be a server replacement for disaster recovery or mobile engineering teams working on remote sites, the company said.

The laptop also provides up to 4TB of storage through multiple slots and up to 32GB of DDR3 DRAM with four memory sockets. However the memory capacity doesn't match up to traditional servers, which in some cases go up to 768GB.
