Origin PC's EON 13S offers yet another spin on Clevo's latest gaming laptop, promises Haswell and Kepler for $1,474

Like the look of Digital Storm’s VELOCE gaming notebook, but have strong loyalties with another system builder? Don’t worry — Origin PC has just announced another gaming rig with the exact same chassis: the EON13-S. The similarity is no coincidence, both models are based on the 13.3-inch Clevo W230ST, carefully branded and customized by each company.

Origin’s twist on the laptop includes a 4th Generation Intel Core processor, NVIDIA GTX 765M graphics and up to three storage devices. The company didn’t announce specifics, but Clevo’s own product page outs Intel’s 2.8GHz i7-4900MQ, 2.70GHz i7-4800MQ and 2.40GHz i7-4700MQ chips as possible options. The base model also supports up to 16GB of RAM, though its Digital Storm variant tops out at 8GB. Naturally, Origin says that many of these elements will be customizable and upgradable, with the most frugal configuration ringing in at $1,474. Additionally, customers that order before August 5th can score free overclocking and a gratis Corsair M95 mouse. Not bad, if you’re looking for tiny gaming machine. Check out the company’s official press release after the break.

Computex 2013: the best of Haswell

Posted in: Today's Chili

ASUS Transformer Book Trio

Intel used this year’s Computex to officially debut Haswell-based Core processors, and it had no shortage of willing launch partners: seemingly everyone had at least one updated PC to reveal. The refinements to battery life and graphics also led to quite a few companies pushing the boundaries, whether it was in cutting-edge screens or exotic form factors. Quite frankly, there was a lot to cope with in several days — enough so that we’re putting the more important Haswell offerings in one convenient roundup. Read on for our look at the desktops, laptops and tablets that launched in sync with Taiwan’s premier tech event.

Origin PC lineup makes the leap to Haswell, GeForce GTX 700M

Posted in: Today's Chili

Origin PC laptops make the leap to Haswell, GeForce GTX 700M

Origin PC makes a point of embracing game-friendly technology as soon as it arrives, and you’d better believe it’s welcoming Haswell-based processors with open arms: virtually all of its computer line is making the jump to the faster Intel hardware. The raw CPU power is the main highlight for the Chronos, Genesis and Millennium desktops, while those buying the larger EON15-S and EON17-S laptops get a few additional treats. Origin PC is adopting NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 765M, 770M and 780M graphics for the portables’ mainstream editions. It’s also letting the truly storage-addicted run two simultaneous RAID configurations if their laptop has four drives. The Haswell upgrades bump EON15S-S and EON17-S prices by about two Benjamins to $1,722 and $1,784 respectively, but players who just have to stay current can pay the premium today.

Two more Titan-powered PCs emerge, from Digital Storm and Origin

Posted in: Today's Chili

Two more Titanpowered PCs emerge, from Digital Storm and Origin

Both Digital Storm and Origin are getting NVIDIA’s latest GPU, the GTX Titan, the two boutique PC makers announced this morning. Per Digital Storm’s adorable little Bolt PC, a single Titan GPU is replacing the GTX 680 as the most powerful GPU offered, while Origin is offering a variety of setups featuring the Titan (all the way up to four Titans working together in an SLI configuration). Of course, at $1,000 for the Titan video card, you’re looking at a ridiculously hefty price tag for that four-way setup (akin to what we saw this morning from Maingear), not to mention the custom liquid cooling Origin’s throwing in.

Interestingly, Digital Storm’s Titan-enabled Bolt and Origin’s top of the line setup offer two very different real world examples of how NVIDIA’s latest GPU can be put to work. While it scales to the ultraniche, superrich PC gamer, Titan also caters to the more casual PC gamer (albeit one who’s still willing to shell out a good amount of cash). Both are set to launch alongside the Titan itself on February 25th.

The deal is quite simple: shell out some cash on one of the outfit’s qualifying machines and you’ve got yourself a gratis 128GB or 256GB SSD — this, naturally, includes the EON11-S, EON15-S, EON17-S and that beastly GENESIS, just to mention a few.
