The New Flagship of Origin
1. The New Flagship of Origin
It seems like gaming laptops are getting crazier by the minute. Not only are
boutique brands competing against mainstream brands for recognition, but they
are also competing with other fellow manufacturers.
Take for example, the case of Eurocom. The Canadian boutique laptop
manufacturer recently released the Scorpius, probably the most powerful laptop in
existence. Naturally, Americans have an answer for that, and it comes from Origin
PC, the EON17 – SLX.
Origin is one of the biggest brands in the boutique gaming business, so it’s natural
for them to step up to the plate and offer the latest advancements in technology.
Let’s take a look and see how this laptop fares. And see if you will consider to sell
laptop for this Origin’s new flagship laptop.

2. Design
The SLX features a different body from the EON17 –
S Origin offers, but both make use of Clevo. For the
SLX, the body is a Clevo P370EM, the same body
used on the Scorpius.
Overall, the body looks better than the one on the
EON17 – S. It features a sleeker design and a more
uniform look. The back part features two vents on
each end, making it look like a car grille. Opening
the front features a more traditional Clevo look,
with customizable backlighting and a full
keyboard with number pad.
It weighs just 7.7 pounds, lighter than the heavyweight EON17 – S. It’s also 1.95
inches thick. While it may be lighter, it’s definitely bulky.

3. Display
Like every other gaming laptop out there,
the SLX features a huge 17.3 – inch
screen with full 1080p HD.
Not only that, but Origin offers the display
in either glossy or matte finishes. You can
choose glossy for better color projection,
but matte has less glare.

4. Hardware
Let’s get down to business with this laptop.
Storming right out of the gate are two
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M cards together in
SLI. The 680M is NVIDIA’s best right now, and
running them side by side guarantees the
best frame rates in the universe.
Benchmarks for that setup aren’t available
right now since it’s so new. To give you an
idea though, one 680M is capable of
running the unforgiving Metro 2033 at a
playable 24 fps. With two identical cards
running together, expect that number to
move up to 35 – 45.
That being said, every other game out there
right now can be played in max!For the
processor, you get a wide array of Ivy Bridge
processors to choose from. The base
processor is an i5 processor, but you have a
total up of eight processors to choose from,

including the i7 Extreme Edition. That’ll
definitely help with gaming.
5. Memory starts at a measly 4 GB, so I recommend going with 8 GB – enough for
gaming. Those who want to treat the SLX as a workstation though can upgrade to
16 or 32 GB, depending on your needs.
Storage begins with one 320 GB hard drive. You can choose up to two, with a mix
of HDD and SSD.
Conclusion
With stellar performance and being completely decked out with all the other
essential features, how does the SLX differentiate itself from the Scorpius?
Well, Origin offers a 3 year warranty with free shipping for repairs and includes
lifetime support. The laptop is also delivered in a strong wooden crate for
protection during shipping.
All in all, Origin has managed to top them again with another strong offering that
will surely please enthusiasts.
