PRESS RELEASE
The EUROCOM Shark 4 is setting new user upgradeability standards. Upgradeability is a core tenet of all Eurocom systems; the Shark 4 is no different with upgradeable memory, storage, display, wireless card and keyboard.
"For users to upgrade their own EUROCOM Shark 4 all they need is to simply pop off the bottom with a few quick screws to access to the entire computer from memory to storage, wireless cards and M.2 4G/LTE modules and to remove and replace the keyboard, even they display panel is easily upgradeable. We believe our customers should be in control of their laptop. It is a Personal Computer (PC) after all." Mark Bialic, Eurocom President.
