Review of the Origin EON18 Gaming Laptop

Gaming laptops tend to be the most powerful ones around. As video game companies are using the absolute latest technology to make amazing games, a good gamer needs an equally modern laptop to play them on. The Origin EON18 has cool decals, an amazing processor, and a great screen. But all of this greatness will not come cheap. Like every great piece of new technology, this computer will cost you.

What's Inside

Before you even begin talking about a piece of hardware like this, you have to ask what's inside it that makes it special. First of all, this computer uses Intel's all new Core i7-920XM Extreme processor. The name itself should give you an idea of how powerful it is. The computer also features 8 GB of RAM, which will allow it run huge programs without lagging. It has two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285M graphics cards as well, which are perfect for those high definition games. And what better way to actually see those graphics than on the 18.4 inch high definition screen?

The Lookand Design

Like all gaming computers, there is a certain amount of just plain coolness associated with it. Origin designed the back of this laptop to feature not only a cool decal, but also LED lights to give it a bit of extra flair. The keyboard is laid out for great gaming possibilities including a fully mappable number pad. This computer is big. This is not the laptop that you throw into your backpack and carry around campus. It is a powerful piece of machinery, but that is what you want if you are serious about your gaming.

Performance

This laptop does as well as you would expect it to. With such a powerful processor, running even huge programs is smooth and easy. The screen looks great and can double for watching Blu Ray movies, which this computer can recognize and play. This performance comes at a cost, however, and for once it is a literal cost. This laptop starts at $2,299.00 and after upgrading a few options, you'll quickly have it up to $5000.00. If you have that kind of cash and are willing to pay it, then this laptop will send you straight to gaming heaven. For most of us, however, that kind of investment is a difficult decision.

For those really serious about laptop gaming, this is an amazing choice. Setting the bar high with the finest computer parts known to man, this laptop really is a pride to own. The downside is it costs a lot of money. If it's worth it to you, however, then go for it.
