Source: PC World Archive.org version
Aside from running loud and hot, it’s tough to say anything else bad about this uber-book. It boasts an excellent keyboard, trackpad, and audio; its display is 4K and glorious; it offers tons of super-fast storage; and it can smoke any notebook and most desktops. Yeah, if you’re not used to gaming laptops their premium pricing, this rig will seem painfully expensive, but the EON17-X is extremely fine-tuned and pretty badass all-around. What more can you ask for in a gaming machine?

It's hard to argue with the Origin EON17-SLX 10's level of performance. It's the fastest notebook we've tested to date, by far, and it puts most high-end desktops to shame. It packed some serious firepower as we reviewed it, with a desktop Core i7-6700K processor overclocked to 4.5GHz, dual Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics cards in SLI (also overclocked), DDR4 2,666MHz RAM, and a RAID 0 array of PCI Express SSDs, all backed by dual 330-watt power adapters. We're convinced it's the limit of what's possible in a 17.3-inch chassis.

To put it simply, the EON17-X 10 Series is the most powerful gaming laptop we've tested. Of course it's incredibly expensive, but on the high end of an inherently pricey category, it delivers precisely what it should, and is a much better value than the Signature 17, which comes with less storage, slightly lower performance, and an inferior display. It's far from the most mobile laptop at this size and weight, possibly leaving you wondering if you should get a desktop instead.

Any way you slice it, the Origin PC Eon17-SLX 10 Series is a hell of a gaming laptop. For $4,708, you get an absolute beast of a machine that will tear through any activity you throw at it -- even virtual reality. While the performance quotient is impressive, the 4K Nvidia G-Sync display is an experience in and of itself -- one that, unfortunately, many PC gamers will miss due to the price.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile: Pascal based laptop graphics card using GDDR5 graphics memory. Should offer a similar performance to the deskto GTX 1080. However, there is also a more power efficient "Max-Q" version that performs worse than the normal GTX1080 and is used in thin and light laptops.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

6700K: Quad-core processor based on the Skylake architecture with integrated HD Graphics 530 and DDR3/DDR4 memory controller. Fastest Skylake desktop CPU at its launch mid 2015.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
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.
3.9 kg:
Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight.
Origin PC:
Origin PC is a US-American brand for laptops and desktops, especially for gaming. There are few reviews, the first one appeared in 2014. The ratings are average.
77.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
