Ok that's even crazier, I had no idea they made the quattro in a mobile format. Yeah the HP website calls it a 'portable workstation'.

I mean compared to modern cards it's a little old but back in the day that was mainly used by data scientists and field statisticians that needed ridiculous amount of simulation math

Also, the designator 'workstation' back then was more than just 'A place to work', but a specific class of PC that was designed for high end tasks like rendering video or CAD, and they were ridiculously expensive. Fitting all that power in a laptop is really mind blowing to me

You found a treasure there
