A Canadian computer maker is contribution a laptop with a huge 4TB of storage and Intel's fastest six-core processor, an unusual combination of such high-end parts for a portable computer. The Panther 2.0 is planned to be a workstation substitute for running high-end graphics and CAD (computer-aided design) programs, PC maker Eurocom stated on its website, where it has ongoing taking preorders for the machine.

Processor options comprise Intel's Core i7 Extreme version or Xeon 5600 chips, which have up to six processor cores and run at speeds of up to 3.33GHz. Those chips are typically found in high-end desktops or servers. The laptop has a 17.3-inch display and comes with up to 24GB of memory and a 3.0-megapixel webcam, improved than the 1.3- or 2.0-megapixel webcams on most laptops.
