MagyarOrigin PC EVO16-S (Clevo P960RD) Review: A Rare 16.1-inch Gaming Laptop
16-inch display. Ever wanted a gaming laptop but felt that a 17.3-inch display might be too big and a 15.6-inch display might be too small? Then this high-power 16.1-inch Origin PC EVO16-S should fit the bill.
Origin PC is a PC builder and reseller of high-performance desktops and laptops that typically target enthusiasts, professional workstation users, and gamers. The EVO16-S is Origin PC's ultra-thin gaming laptop based on the Clevo P960RD chassis but with additional customization options and paint jobs for a wider variety of possible colors not available on most other gaming laptops.
The most notable feature of the EVO16-S is its uncommon 16.1-inch display size to make the system a middle alternative to the sea of both 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch gaming laptops in the market. The EVO16-S competes directly with other ultra-thin gaming laptops like the MSI GS65/GS75, Asus Zephyrus GX701, Acer Predator Triton, Razer Blade 15 or Pro 17, and the Gigabyte Aero 15 or Aero 17.
SKUs range from Intel Core i7 only (i7-8750H or i7-9750H) with GeForce RTX graphics (2060, 2070 Max-Q, 2080 Max-Q), up to 32 GB of RAM, and up to three storage options. The 144 Hz 1080p FHD remains fixed across all configurations. Prices can be as low as $1800 to as high as $3000 USD depending on features.

Case
The smooth matte aluminum chassis has a high quality feel with a relatively rigid base. It's stronger and less flexible than the MSI GS75 or GS65, but it's still not nearly as sound as the Razer Blade 15 or Blade Pro 17. Surfaces bend and creak slightly more than on the Razer especially when applying pressure on the outer lid or when twisting the base from its front two corners. The two small hinges also tend to creak when close to their maximum angle.
Despite having a larger footprint than most 15.6-inch gaming laptop because of the 16.1-inch screen size, the EVO16-S manages to weigh almost the same as the smaller Gigabyte Aero 15 or Razer Blade 15. It's thicker than these alternatives as well by just 2 mm at most.

Connectivity
Port options are balanced with 2x USB Type-A ports, 2x USB Type-C ports, and 2x dedicated video-out ports. One USB Type-C port supports DisplayPort for up to three external monitors. Curiously, the chassis also supports a SIM card but this particular SKU does not come equipped with a WAN module.
Port positioning is a mixed bag. While the are easy to reach, all ports are far too close to the front and so any connected cables will occupy valuable desk space.
SD Card Reader
The spring-loaded SD card reader offers average transfer rates of about 87 MB/s. Moving 1 GB worth of pictures from our UHS-II test card to desktop takes about 13 seconds compared to half that on the Dell XPS 15.
A fully inserted card will only protrude by about 1 to 2 mm for safe transporting.

Communication
The Intel 9560 with integrated Bluetooth 5.0 is a common find on high-end laptops. Performance is similar to the Killer 1550 sans the gaming-centric features that are exclusive to the latter. We didn't experience any connectivity issues during our time with the unit.

Accessories
Origin PC goes all the way when it comes to the unboxing experience. Users have the option to receive a wooden crate instead of the usual cardboard box alongside other free extras like a wall poster, notebook sleeve, t-shirt, mouse pad, drivers DVD, and even a 32 GB USB drive pre-loaded with a factory restore image.
While the included accessories are nice, the DVD is a puzzling because the laptop does not integrate an optical drive. Simply including the contents of the DVD onto the USB drive instead would have been much more useful to the end user.
Maintenance
Unfortunately, end-user upgrades are not easy. The bottom panel is secured tightly to the base to make servicing more difficult than it should be.
Warranty
Origin PC offers 1 to 3 years of protection with free shipping and a 45-day "No Dead Pixel Guarantee" for its laptops. They also offer 24/7 technical support in the U.S. for the life of the product.
Input Devices
Keyboard
Key feedback and layout are most similar to the Schenker Slim 15 or Schenker XMG A517. Feedback and travel are both firmer and deeper, respectively, than the keys on the XPS 15. In return, clatter is slightly louder.
Perhaps the best characteristic of the keyboard is the similar key cap size of the QWERTY keys, Arrow keys, and NumPad keys for uniform feedback between all these keys. On most other laptops, the Arrow and/or NumPad keys would often be smaller than the main QWERTY keys for spongier feedback and a more cramped experience.
Touchpad
The trackpad is average in size (~10.8 x 6 cm) and similar in texture and glide to the trackpad of the Eurocom Nightsky RX17. Unlike most other laptops, the glass surface is completely smooth much like on a smartphone touchscreen. Glide is therefore uneven depending on movement speed with more resistance than usual. The atypical surface takes some getting used to..
The dedicated mouse keys are quiet when pressed with moderate feedback and travel. We find dragging and dropping to be much easier with mouse keys when compared to clickpads.
Display
As the first 16.1-inch laptop in our database, there are no other models we know of sporting the same Chi Mei N161HCA-GA1 IPS panel. This appears to be a mid-range to high-end panel that matches the color space and fast black-white response times of other 120/144 Hz panels from Chi Mei albeit with a slightly dimmer backlight and lower contrast ratio. The larger MSI GS75, for example, is about 30 percent brighter with almost twice the contrast ratio.
The display is slightly grainy as is common on many matte displays. Thus, glossy displays will still have the notable advantage in terms of sharpness at the cost of glare. Our test unit unfortunately exhibits moderate backlight bleeding along the edges and corners as shown below that will become noticeable during boot up or when watching videos with black borders.

* ... smaller is better
Color space is about the same as most other 144 Hz IPS panels at around 95 percent of sRGB. This is indicative of a high-end panel with both deep colors and a fast native refresh rate unlike the Panda LM156LF-CL03 panel on the cheaper Asus Zephyrus G GA502.
Further measurements with an X-Rite colorimeter reveal just average grayscale and color accuracy out of the box. Color temperature is also too warm, but a calibration addresses this and improves accuracy noticeably. Average grayscale and color DeltaE values sit at just 1.9 and 1.14 after calibration.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 25510 Hz | ≤ 21 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 25510 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 21 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 25510 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 51 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 9322 (minimum: 43 - maximum: 142900) Hz was measured. | |||
Outdoor visibility is only average at best since the backlight is dimmer than most Ultrabooks. Colors and texts become washed out very easily from the bright ambient lighting. Viewing angles are wide with slight changes to contrast and colors from extreme angles as is typical of IPS displays.
Performance
The EVO16-S ships with only Coffee Lake-H Core i7 and GeForce RTX graphics for now to cater directly to enthusiasts. LatencyMon shows no DPC latency issues even when the wireless is enabled.
Nvidia G-Sync is not available since Optimus comes standard.
Processor
CPU performance is essentially the same as the Core i7-8750H for all intents and purposes as detailed here. Nonetheless, raw performance is still 40 to 60 percent faster than the Core i5-9300H or older Core i7-7700HQ since the i7-9750H offfers a higher core count.
When running CineBench R15 Multi-Thread in a loop, performance dips by about 11 percent after the first loop not unlike many other gaming laptops with Core i7 Coffee Lake-H CPUs. The graph below shows that some older Core i7-8750H laptops can still outperform the Core i7-9750H by the slightest of margins after accounting for throttling.

Storage Devices
Three internal storage bays are available in the form of 2x M.2 PCIe and 1x 2.5-inch SATA III (7 mm only). Origin PC offers multiple combinations and we recommend choosing carefully since end-user upgrades can be difficult.
Our specific test unit comes configured with a 500 GB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe SSD and a secondary 2 TB Seagate ST2000LX001. Samsung offers some of the fastest consumer SSDs and this model is no different with sequential write rates approaching 2800 MB/s according to AS SSD. This particular drive is a common option on Clevo systems as most larger OEMs tend to use slower solutions from Intel or Toshiba instead.

GPU Performance
The RTX 2080 Max-Q is performing where we expect it to be when compared to the average RTX 2080 Max-Q in our database. 3DMark results are very similar to the mobile RTX 2070 "Max-P" in the Asus Zephyrus GX502GW despite consuming slightly less power. A desktop RTX 2080 is still about 35 to 40 percent faster than the RTX 2080 Max-Q.

Gaming Performance
All titles will run at 60 FPS since the display is a "low" native resolution of 1080p. To fully exploit the 144 Hz refresh rate, however, you may want to consider dropping the graphics settings to low-medium or medium on most titles. Idling on Witcher 3 shows no recurring frame drops to suggest no interrupting background activity when gaming.
See our dedicated page on the GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q for more technical information and benchmarks.
