The Origin PC Eon17-SLX is a gaming laptop ready for VR

2016-02-04
the era of virtual reality is almost here and the sad fact is your gaming laptop is probably not up to speed in fact really only desktops with desktop graphics cards are officially supported by that oculus rift headset that should be coming out a little bit later in 2016 except if you buy one of a very small handful of laptops one of them is the origin PCE on 17s LX which I have right here the secret here is inside not only do you get a desktop CPU which we've seen in a handful of really big laptops before it but you get a desktop graphics card and that's because Nvidia figured out a way to get that 980 desktop card shrunk down to a former you can actually stick it into a laptop so this is the first mobile PC we've tried that passes the oculus test basically you've got a laptop body with desktop DNA inside of course it's superfast blew away pretty much every other gaming laptop that we've tried also super expensive if you want to configure it like this guy about 3500 dollars that said this thing is a back breaker good luck fitting it inside your your backpack or your briefcase and lugging it around and the screen it's only a 1080p screen you can obviously push a lot more pixels with the desktop graphics card it's kind of fun to hook this up to a big-screen TV a 4k TV and play games in 4k using this as the driver and just watching him on your gigantic screen it's more gaming laptop than you probably need but if you're one of those people who wants to be ready and make sure that the new generation of VR hardware is gonna work on your laptop something like this is the only way to go that's the origin PC Eon 17s LX
