A basic incarnation of the Origin EON17-X.comes with an Intel Core i5-4460S quad-core CPU, Nvidia GTX 965M graphics, and 8 gigabytes of RAM, all for $1,760. Our upscale review unit came with an Intel Core i7-4970K and GTX 980M, and while it made due with 8 gigabytes of memory, Origin upgraded it with dual hard drives: A 240GB solid-state unit sits alongside a 1 terabyte hybrid disk from Seagate.
Surprisingly, these upgrades raise the price only $750 to about $2,550. That’s a very moderate price for a high-end gaming notebook, and many competitors with Intel Core mobile chips cost as much. Does the EON17-X succeed in making desktop gaming portable, or is it too quick for its own good?
