Origin PC EON17-X Series

80% Origin EON17-X review: a gaming beast with style to spare
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
Individuals with deep pockets looking for one of the most powerful gaming laptops available will find much to appreciate with the Origin EON17-X. Performance prowess meets a lovely 17-inch 4K display that also has a 144Hz refresh rate for smooth gameplay. However, all of that power does come at the cost of having extremely loud cooling fans during even minimal tasks that can affect audio clarity from the average sounding speakers.

86% Origin PC Eon17-X v2 Review: Big, Burly and Loud Custom Gaming Laptop That Costs
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
My only qualm with the Eon17-X v2 is that it's very expensive for the performance it delivers. If you build Alienware's M18 R2 with the same specs as this Origin laptop, you're already saving around $250 (limited-time discounts notwithstanding) for a system that's a step faster for gaming by a not-so-insignificant amount (though it lacks a 4K screen). Match an Eon17-X v2 configuration to the M18 R2 that we reviewed, and it's the same deal: Origin's system costs around $250 more, but you get a much better, if slightly smaller, display. If all you care about are frame rates, Alienware's M18 R2 remains the gaming laptop to beat. But for an overall experience, especially when you can find it on sale, Origin's Eon17-X v2 wins out for its superior display and slightly better customizability when you're building the laptop to begin with. Resist the urge to configure more laptop than you really need, and it's worth the extra cost you'll pay for everyday use.
