The boutique brand is hitting mainstream prices on the new Eon15-S.
High-end custom gaming PC makers are known for great performance, great customer support — and high prices. That’s often left PC gamers with modest budgets stuck with off-the-shelf options from big mainstream brands such as Dell , HP or Lenovo. Those familiar names make some excellent, reasonably priced gaming laptops, but sometimes you want the extra service and attention to detail of a specialty brand.
Origin PC has just announced a new version of its Eon15-S gaming laptop that starts at $999 in the US. (Origin ships internationally; that converts to £795 or AU$1,315.) It takes advantage of Nvidia ’s recent GeForce 1050Ti graphics card, which offers very good gaming performance for a low-cost component.
Dell recently impressed us by using the Nvidia 1050Ti in its $899 Inspiron 15 7000 , an excellent budget gaming laptop, somewhat hampered by a substandard display.
