Reviews for the Origin PC EVO-17S, GTX 1070, i9-8950HK

80% Origin EVO-17S review: This thin gaming laptop tames even the mighty Core i9
Source: PC World Archive.org version
The elephant in the room is all the rumors of impending new GPUs at CES. But the pattern that’s emerged lately with hardware has been simple substitutions. If you know the EVO17-S can run a GTX 1070 just fine, you know an equally fast GPU is likely to get rolled into the EVO17-S. We fully expect to see a very similar laptop to this with whatever GPU is announced.
