For students who require more performance and capability Eurocom also offers NVIDIA Quadro based Mobile Workstations for engineering and design students, combined with Intel Core i7 and Intel Xeon processors. Purchasing through the Eurocom Education Program gives students the equipment they need to achieve their greatness with a 10 percent discount. Eurocom systems support Linux operating systems, we install these operating systems on systems that support them, and we recommend Ubuntu or Linux. Why Eurocom? The upgradability of a Eurocom system is an attractive feature for anyone from engineering to graphics, to mobile application and game developing students. The freedom to upgrade parts is unique to Eurocom. Not limited to just memory modules and storage drives, it also includes the ability to swap out for a better graphics card, or even boost the processor. At Eurocom, the customer has a great deal of choice when ordering their new laptop or notebook. Users can choose between a variety of processors, storage drives, memory, displays, keyboards and even operating systems for their little Monster. Eurocom notebooks are perfect for new or current post-secondary students to build a comprehensive portfolio of work to take with them as they start their chosen career. They’re small, lightweight but have maximum power, proving that size doesn’t matter. “If you buy a notebook from Eurocom as a high school graduation gift, it’s built to last past University graduation” Mark Bialic, Eurocom president. Why Linux? Linux based operating systems are a great alternative to Windows operating systems because they are less prone to virus attacks, are very secure, while having a stylish and intuitive interface. Linux distributions like Ubuntu give users a streamlined experience that they can really make their own. With Ubuntu or Mint users become part of a massive, open source community that provides support through millions of other fellow users.
