Well you can configure the customizable Neptune notebook with either consumer-grade Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M or 580M GPUs or professional-grade Nvidia Quadro 4000M or 5010M GPUs –there are other configurable mobile GPUs available for the Neptune, but 3D is for Nvidia GPUs only. The GTX solutions are designed for PC gamers and the Quadro solutions are designed for CAD work or even PC game development.
With the GPUs and the 3D 120Hz display Eurocom has figured their new Neptune notebook will be a good fit for the following 3D related scenarios:
- 3D Cartography
- 3D Mapping
- 3D Visualization
- 3D Medical Imaging
- 3D Simulation
- Geovisualization
- 3D Gaming
- 3D Game Development
- Molecular Dynamics Visualization
- Medical Analysis Simulations
- Physical Simulations
Add in the ability to configure in a Intel Core i7-2960XM quad-core processor, up to 32GB DDR3 RAM, and up to three SSD drives and you can see that all of those scenarios are possible with a Eurocom Neptune notebook.
