Reviews for the Origin PC EON11-S
Source: Maximum PC Archive.org version
Capable as it is, the wee Eon11-S is not without tradeoffs. While it has the same 1366x768 screen res as the Timeline M3, the Eon11-S’s keyboard suffers some from the smaller footprint. The compressed layout can feel a little cramped, particularly for larger-handed folk. At least it doesn’t have the shallow keypress and maddening touchpad of an Ultrabook.

The question becomes the same as with every laptop review – is this a good laptop? No. The keyboard is far too small for many people to use on a daily basis, too much heat is produced and battery life isn’t great. Using this laptop every day isn't optimal. So, should you buy it? Maybe. The departure of the Alienware M11x – which had many of the same flaws, by the way – means there is no other choice in this market. If you want to purchase a gaming machine that you can pack in a small bag, this is it. End of story.

The 11-inch gaming laptop is the textbook definition of a niche product. In fact, up until now, there's really only been one serious entry in that category, Dell's Alienware M11x. As one of the only 11-inch gaming laptops around, the Origin Eon 11-S is aimed at a select niche, but if you need a supersmall gaming laptop, it fits the bill nicely.

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.
3612QM: An Ivy Bridge-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.1 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.1 GHz.
