Origin PC Laptops?

[Bootskii]

Does anyone have experience owning a laptop from Origin PC? I'm highly considering the EON15-X. I know what specs I want, so I'm looking for little details on what it's like to own and operate one, details I won't find on a spec sheet, like what customer service is like, how it feels to type on, will I void the warranty if I open it up and change the RAM or if I overclock it? etc. As far as usage goes, I'm a gamer (not exactly hardcore, but definitely not casual), aspiring game designer, computer science major, and most importantly a video editor using Adobe Premiere and sometimes Avid.

it "only" has a 1070 but i would say go for it but have you looked at Sager NP9873, if you are going for a "laptop" might as well for gtx1080.

I love it! I've thought about it a lot though, and since I'm going back to school then I'm pretty much committed to a 15".

I do. Actually, last time I went to school I had a 17" MSI Dominator model, so comparatively it'll be kind of easy, "kind of" being the key words. But it's a compromise I'm willing to make if I'm to continue wedding videography. Plus I don't trust thin & lights for my workload. I had one before and it overheated and died.

+1 to this.

I carry a gaming laptop to school, and it's a pain in the ass.

 

battery life is quite shit (50Watt-Hour battery powering a 6700HQ + 965M), it's heavy AF, the gamery aesthetic looks bad in a classroom, and it doesn't have cool things like a touchscreen, which actually makes my life harder.

Firstly no. Secondly it's a Clevo P750DM2 that Origin overprices to hell and back. What's your budget and I can find the same laptop far cheaper with better service. All of Origin's laptops are Clevos or MSI whitebooks. They overprice them for no reason and support from Origin is meh. Avoid.

I know from experience too. I just don't see any way around it, especially when I need power on-the-go for my job.

Thanks, I'll look at Clevo a little more closely. And Sager's 15" is looking promising, so thanks to nerdslayer1 for pointing me there. That's interesting though, because I've actually heard that Origin's customer service is really good. After the nightmare I've had with MSI (3 RMAs in 1.5 years), then I'm willing to pay extra for good support and reliability. I've also looked at Digital Storm, but my God, if you think* Origin is overpriced..

Whats ur budget. Don't buy from Origin LOL. Plz. Trying to help you save money here. Never buy from digital storm either. Laptopwise.

 

P750DM2:

^ these two are the exact laptop you see on Origin. Better service and better support from both these retailers

 

MSI 16L13

^ this is the real best in class 15in laptop. Can fit a 1080 in there. And assuming you specced it out properly on Origin it comes to around 3k with a 1070. Here you can actually get a 1080 laptop. It's built off a custom GT63VR chassis and accommodates a full desktop CPU just like the P750DM2. Difference between this and the P750DM2 is that it can hold a 1080 MXM and has better everything else (better trackpad, better speakers, better keyboard, in general better quality of life)

 

Both these laptops are HUGELY supported by a vast forum

and the 3 retailers I linked you are pretty much best in class customer service that know wtf they're talking about.
