Reviews for the Origin PC EON17-X

80% Origin EON17-X

Though it faces heavy (literally) competition from the largest and costliest gaming rigs, the Origin EON17-X has plenty to offer a gamer who wants cost-no-object performance but objects to a cost of $3,000 or more. Its keyboard and display are good, except for the latter's viewing angles; its speakers are decent; and its performance is blazing fast.

The Origin EON17-X asks users to make little compromise in exchange for its impressive processor power. It’s only a tad larger than competitors from Alienware and Asus, and it’s also not much more expensive. In fact, it’s a bit less expensive than the Asus G751 or Alienware 17 when similarly equipped.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
