Eurocom Releases 780W Adapter for Mobile Workstations

Eurocom aims to eliminate energy bottlenecks in high performance laptops with a single AC adapter, offers 780-Watt power supply for the laptop industry. In the not-so-distant past, laptops and small form factor pc's were stuck in the middle ground of technology between smart phones and desktops when it came to portability, power and performance. Laptops were not as portable as smart phones and were heavily under-powered compared to common desktop PC's. As a result, laptops were not considered powerful enough to take on more intensive tasks and processes.

However, over the last half decade, laptops and small form factor PCs have closed the gap between desktop PCs in terms of power and performance. Due to many technological leaps and innovations over the years, laptops across different price points are able to come very close to matching the compute power of modern day desktop PCs. Laptops are now trusted with handling highly intensive tasks and are relied upon by users who benefit from having a less bulky and more portable computer that provides incredible performance on the go.
The advancements in laptop technology can be seen in its ability to play the most demanding video game titles of today. When it comes to the performance of a gaming desktop computer and high-performance laptops today, little-to-no difference can be seen. This is mainly due to advancements in transistor technology where GPU manufacturers are able to create much smaller GPUs for laptops that very closely match the throughput and power of desktop GPUs, despite laptop or mobile GPUs being smaller and more compact in size.

However, as laptop manufacturers are able to equip and load more power into laptops, new challenges and bottlenecks also arise. One big challenge modern day high-performance laptops face is supplying the necessary electric energy needed to run these technologically beefy, power-hungry systems. Another big challenge is keeping high-performance laptops running cool. As laptops become crammed with more powerful hardware over time, they also generate much more heat.

Challenges facing high-performance laptops today
  • High-end laptop users require more power and higher performance in their computers as technology advances.
  • Many high-end users prefer portable systems such as laptops with "power on-the-go."
  • Most high performance laptops are limited to maximum 330 W of power. Energy is one of the major bottlenecks of high performance laptops capable to perform at par with desktop-based workstations.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic is driving up demand and requirements for more powerful laptops for "on-the-go" use.
Solution: EUROCOM 780-watt AC Adapter/Power Supply
  • Eurocom is the only laptop provider offering a single 780 W laptop AC Adapter for powering high performance Mobile Supercomputers.
  • Eurocom's 780 W AC Adapter solution is available for other laptops models, such as Alienware Area 51M, MSI GT76, and more.
Enter the EUROCOM 780-watt AC Adapter/Power Supply
As an innovator in high performance laptops and small form factor systems, Eurocom Corporation has developed an extremely efficient solution to provide the power draw and energy that modern day high performance laptops require through its 780-watt power supply. The single 780-watt AC adapter provides a solution for this bottleneck in laptops by having an external PSU and does not generate heat within the system, which results in much better cooling compared to desktops and workstations.

With the innovation of the 780 W AC/DC adapter or power supply, Eurocom brings a new level of mobile power and convenience to owners of high-performance gaming laptops such as: Alienware 51m, MSI GT76 Titan, ASUS ROG GZ700GX, to name a few. This formidable power supply was designed for users needing more power in their AC adapters but want to do away with the added clutter and difficulty of carrying two 330-watt AC adapters when travelling with or transporting their high-end laptops.

The EUROCOM 780 Watt AC adapter also provides a level of future-proofing by improving a high performance laptop's power efficiency and eliminating the need to add a second power supply in the future.

The EUROCOM 780 Watt AC adapter is available for other high performance laptop models besides Eurocom systems (including Alienware, MSI, ASUS and more) to improve these high performance laptop's performance & is efficient in doing this using a single power adapter. Eurocom offers power cables compatible with various regions including: USA/Canada, Australia, Europe, UK and South Africa.

Compatible Connectors and Laptop-types:
  • Standard DC connector for Eurocom, Clevo, OriginPC, MSI and Sager laptops
  • Round AW connector for Alienware laptops (except Area 51m)
  • Round DC connector for ASUS ROG: GX501V GM501, GM501GM, GX531GM
  • Square Connector for MSI GT76 (square GT76 connector)
  • Splitter Box with 2x ROG Round power connectors for ASUS: G703GX-XB96K, GZ700GX
  • Splitter Box with 2x AW power connectors for Alienware Area 51M
This auto-switching Eurocom 780 W AC adapter weighs 3lbs, half-a-pound heavier than one 330 W adapter (2.5 lbs). This makes the Eurocom 780 W AC adapter much easier to transport and carry around rather than carrying around two 330 W adapters with a combined weight of 5 lbs. This power adapter is ideal for small form factor PCs, industrial PCs and servers that require a high-efficiency, rugged external power supply with detachable AC and DC cables as well as an LED power-draw read out.

Eurocom's 780-watt power brick has unique bells and whistles, including: an LED panel, a detachable DC cable with a screw-locking mechanism, a detachable AC cable, power switch, auto-switching capability and an industrial-grade chassis with dual high-speed fans.

I suppose when you have that kind of laptop you don't care about fans making noise like they are about to take flight. Why not just adapt a regular ATX psu with a bigger and less noisier fan?

These adapters are usually around 19V on the output, so you'd need some sort of boost converter to use a standard ATX PSU for this.

Putting the M in the mobile...
for masochism mind you, to have a mobile workstation, and to carry this around.
I wonder at some point if its possible to build sort of nuc sized pc with inbuilt "battery", considering it won't last long at 125w+ loads, and a thin'n light laptop shaped interfacer. so its a pc... that is used like a laptop... but is a desktop all things considered...

Maybe if you fit this to the rear end of your bike, you might get your power supply and propulsion all in one go

Mobile workstations get used mostly as a DTR and therefore don't get carried around much. My wife, for example, does ERP migrations, auditing and such in a corporate environment. This apparently does need a lot of horsepower, so she uses the Eurocom Tornado. She travels with it a lot, but when she puts it in place, it doesn't really get moved for weeks, so a chunky power supply isn't a problem. As for using a light laptop as an interface for a much faster device, she does use a Thinkpad and Citrix to work remotely on her company's quite powerful infrastructure, but sometimes you just want a fast computer locally, and size just isn't a concern in many situations.
