Remember that Phantom i7 laptop from Eurocom we heard about last month — the one sporting a non-mobile Core i7 processor? Well, there’s a little more info on it now, and it’s even better/worse than you imagined. Check out these ridiculous specs. Remember, this is a laptop.

  • 17″ display
  • 11.9 pounds (5.4kg)
  • Quad-core Core i7 processor
  • 8GB DDR3 RAM
  • 3 HDDs in RAID
  • 12-cell battery (good for one hour)
  • Blu-ray writer
  • 4 USB 2.0 ports, 2 DVI-out, Firewire, parallel, and serial ports

You’re going to have be careful not to get sucked in by the thing’s gravitational field — and hopefully they have enough cooling in there to keep it from igniting the earth. No pictures yet, probably because they couldn’t get the satellites aligned in time for CeBIT.
