Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by phantom glass visit stores antem glass for the best iron screen protectors out there as well as HyperX alright guys welcome to the origin suite and welcome to one of the coolest things I've seen at CES 2015 this year this is the eon 17 x and also the eon 15 x the only difference between these two laptops is their size 15 inch screen 17 inch screen it has a desktop freaking processor and it has a 4790k and it has one that's overclocked not even stock speeds and not under clocked it's running at 4.5 gigahertz on every frickin core that's four cores overclocked and it doesn't throttle it's completely fine for other freaking crazy performance metrics it also has a gtx 980m with eight gigabytes of memory the screen is a 1080p screen but it has supports 4k output on its display ports so you could easily plug this into a 4k TV or a 4k monitor and get that 4k awesome gaming that you want to do now you might be wondering why do I need this crazy processor in my laptop especially people like us who might be editing videos or streamers who might be using xsplit or something that uses a lot of your CPU when you're on the road it could be crazy helpful some games are also CPU dependent not a ton of them but some of them are so that might not be for everyone but the people that do need this will greatly appreciate it this laptop is also 37.5% thinner and 30% lighter than the predecessor full-size desktop processor laptop from origin the keyboard is fairly standard fare it's a backlit keyboard no actual real problems here the mouse tracking pad is fairly normal but I do like that they're separated independent left and right clicks and some people will also appreciate the fingerprint reader right in the middle in terms of i/o on the left hand side we have Ethernet tripple USB 3 a D SD MMC port and a esata/usb combo port on the back side you have your beefy monstrous power jack a HDMI out and dual DisplayPort full-sized DisplayPort out on the right-hand side you have one USB 3.0 Jack quad audio jacks and a Kensington lock in terms of audio they're running a Sound Blaster x5 3 and the general aesthetics of the machine are able to be changed this one that we have here is a sleek matte black but it being origin PC you could get a custom paint job you get some of their other stock colors pretty much whatever the heck you want to do on the bottom they have five fairly large rubbery feet so you won't have to worry about this thing scooting around on me while you're gaming they also a subwoofer port and easy access to your battery storage and RAM slots under the computer which is nice because we're seeing some computers now these days where you can't change things and that's really frustrating alright guys thanks for joining me at the origin suite if you want a laptop with a full sized desktop processor in it let me know in the comments down below thank you to fan and glass for sending us here this year and protecting our phones like they always do also we have a pretty cool video from them coming up soon so stay tuned for that thank you to HyperX as well check out the youtube channel youtube.com slash HyperX they've got some pretty cool gaming content and I think they're getting close to a hundred thousand subscribers or even over it now so check them out as well thank you for watching and I'll see you next time
