Origin unleashes EON17 gaming colossus
Laptops are no good for gaming? Says who?
It wasn’t long ago that laptops were largely considered to be too slow for playing the latest games. How times have changed.
You might not think so just from looking at it, but under the Origin EON17’s unassuming black shell lies one of the most powerful computers we’ve ever come across.
Intel’s powerful six-core 3.33GHz Core i7 processor leads the way in style, and is accompanied by up to a staggering 24GB of DDR3 RAM in a combination that will swat aside any challenge.
Graphics-wise you’re equally well covered thanks to the option of dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M chips in SLI configuration, and this visual prowess certainly won’t be wasted on the EON17’s full HD 17.3in display.
On the audio front, 7.1-channel HD audio comes as standard, as does a Blu-ray drive, a choice of up to three hard drives and HDMI 1.4 support.
As for the price, this US-made beast starts at $2,499, which considering the mind-boggling gaming street cred actually seems quite reasonable to us.
