Reviews for the Origin PC EON 15-S, Ivy Bidge

80% Origin EON15-S Ivy Bridge gaming laptop
Source: Good Gear Guide
Origin's EON15-S has good credentials for gaming, allowing most games to be played at high resolutions and with maximum detail level enabled. It's a well built notebook with lots of built-in features and it has one of the best backlit keyboards that we've experienced to date. However, its screen is way too glossy and its solid state drive too small.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

3.2 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.

Origin PC: This US-American computer shop sells its own laptop brand with low market share.
