Eurocom P5 Pro Review, Taking Devil's Canyon Mobile

The Eurocom P5 Pro configuration we tested comes in at $3,891, which luxury-PC territory for sure, but more affordable configurations are also available. And although the system has a clean look, it isn’t particularly flashy. It stands to reason that the relatively lofty price tag is buying you something other than good looks: namely, a killer user experience and high performance.

concludeSome of the P5 Pro’s features add to your experience without directly boosting benchmark scores. The 4K display is one such bonus and so is the P5 Pro’s support for upgrades. The sea of data storage in the P5 Pro is another feature that won’t move the needle in most gaming benchmarks. All of these make a difference in the value of the P5 Pro.

When it comes to evaluating the system’s performance in games, the benchmarks point to a very strong gaming system. Still, the Asus G751 manages to best the P5 Pro in most game benchmarks, and for less money. If you buy systems based on benchmarks alone, the Asus is where you’ll likely be headed. But take into account the P5 Pro’s other attributes and you have a much tougher choice. Both systems are solid desktop replacements.

What I like about the Eurocom P5 Pro is the sense that it’s a complete package. It blasts its way through office and gaming benchmarks alike and it has rock solid audio to match the great picture on its sharp display. And although I’m not wild about the way Eurocom handled the logo on the lid, it’s not likely to be a deal breaker for most. This system deserves a look if you're in the market for an ultra-powerful desktop replacement system.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine.  A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
