Origin PC, which was acquired by Corsair in 2019, is known for their high-performance, premium PCs. The EON16-X gaming laptop is no exception, promising high-end gaming on-the-go with top-of-the-line power and performance. However, despite high-end components and big 16-inch display, this laptop is offered in a relatively understated package. For the most part, Origin PC delivers on this lofty promise, but with few frills and an ambitious price.

      Games, Benchmarks, and Overall Performance

      Origin PC EON16-X Laptop Review: Power Gaming at a Premium

      On paper, since the built-in display has a reasonable 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, the EON16-X should be able to maintain very high frame rates with high visual fidelity in even the most demanding games. In practice, that definitely proved to be the case, especially when paired with the display's super-fast 240 Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA G-SYNC support.

      Regardless of the game, be itDiablo IV,MythForce,Baldur's Gate 3,Forza Motorsport, orHigh on Life, settings were high, and frame rates locked to 60 FPS or better. The quality display, with its excellent viewing angles and brightness even at 50%, allowed me to see each game's finer visual details in rich color.

      Although there's a wired Ethernet port, one big surprise for me was how good the Wi-Fi performance was. Although there's no Wi-Fi 7 support for my TP-Link BE33000, the laptop does support Wi-Fi 6E. My internet connection maxes out at around 1.3 Gbps download and generally no more than the 20-25 Mbps range for upload speeds. Connecting the EON16-X wirelessly using the Multi-Link Operation (MLO) option of my network, I experienced the fastest speeds for any device on my network setup, wireless or wired.

      Even connecting wirelessly to the standard non-MLO portion of my network, my average ping was 24 ms, with download speeds of 1.2 Gbps. For comparison, in the same testing window, my desktop computer, which is hardwired into one of the TP-Link BE33000 satellites, averaged a ping of 19 ms, download speeds of 930 Mbps, and upload speeds of 18 Mbps.

      One of my favorite games to play isFortnite, and I would never consider using Wi-Fi over wired Ethernet for a competitive online shooter like this, except in this case. There was not a single connectivity issue with Wi-Fi and performance was as smooth as I've ever experienced. While there were the usual frame rate drops until shortly after landing, once in-game, the frame rate remained a solid 60fps. This was when paired with very high settings, and it felt like a fresh experience even after previously logging over 1,100 hours of playtime. Of course, if you want to run the game with a frame rate in the hundreds, that's always an option, but you'll sacrifice some of the higher-end visuals that really shine on this display.

      The keyboard performed well for gaming purposes, with good responsiveness to quick presses. Of course, it can't come anywhere near the performance of a good external mechanical keyboard like my preferred Logitech G915 Lightspeed, but it was never an issue when I needed to use it for a competitive game session.

      It's easy to switch between the laptop's different operating modes. Either from the included Origin Control Center software or with the dedicated key next to the power button. "Office" mode is a lower performance mode for general non-gaming use that rarely, if ever, activates the fans. With "Game" mode, the laptop automatically adjusts the fan speeds based on the present situation. "Turbo" mode unleashes the laptop's full performance potential, but also lets the fan run at full capacity and noise levels. Finally, there's a "Custom" mode where you can set profiles for different games or applications and tweak processor, GPU, and fan settings to get exactly the performance you need.

      With Turbo mode active and under heavy load, the fans were certainly loud, but never too overbearing. I did notice more heat venting out of the left side vents than the right side, which was fine with me as I mouse on the right side.

      Of course, for all the subjective use of the laptop when gaming and how positive my experience was for me, benchmarks are always the best way to get a complete picture of a machine's performance ceiling. I ran four popular benchmarks with the EON16-X plugged in and set to Turbo mode.

      3DMark's incredibly demanding 4K-centric Steel Nomad benchmark for gaming PCs resulted in a 3DMark and Graphics Score of 5,226, and 52.27 fps in the Graphics Test. While that's anywhere from 30 - 50% of the performance of the highest end gaming desktop PCs with more powerful GPUs, it still beats out desktops with popular GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 4070 or AMD RX 7800 XT, pushing, on average, more than 10 fps better. Needless to say, the EON16-X puts many other gaming laptops to shame in this test.

      Using the older Time Spy Extreme, which is a 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs, resulted in a CPU score of 9,637 and Graphic's score of 10,836, for an average of 10,637. That's better than 78% of all results and well beyond the average score of a 2023 gaming desktop PC at just 8,090.

      Running PCMark 10, which bills itself as the complete benchmark for the modern office, resulted in a score of 8,704, which was better than 96% of all results. It was far above the average 2023 gaming laptop score of 7,066, although not near the average 2023 gaming desktop PC score of 9,483. While the EON16-X wouldn't necessarily be your first choice for a productivity machine, its power can certainly be put to good use for even very demanding photo and video editing scenarios.

      In the VRMark Blue Room benchmark, the EON16X-16 scored 6,850, and had an average frame rate of 149.34, besting the average of 5,198 from 2023 gaming desktop PCs and not too far off the 7,815 average of 2023 high-end gaming PCs. As expected, this laptop makes an excellent platform for even very demanding VR use cases.

      Bertukar kepada mod Office, menggunakan bateri, 53% kecerahan skrin dan membiarkan papan kekunci dan lampu bar cahaya menyala, saya menjalankan penanda aras UL Procyon dan ujian Penggunaan Bateri Satu Jam Produktiviti Pejabatnya. Ia memberikan skor prestasi 18,400, mencatatkan penurunan 33% dalam hayat bateri sepanjang jam pertama penggunaan. Ini diterjemahkan kepada kira-kira tiga hingga empat jam hayat bateri maksimum, walaupun dengan kecerahan skrin minimum dan tiada penggunaan GPU. Ini sejajar dengan anggaran Origin PC sendiri selama tiga hingga enam jam di bawah penggunaan biasa dan satu setengah hingga dua jam di bawah beban berat, seperti permainan. Walau apa pun, anda mungkin mahu berada dekat dengan kedai walaupun semasa anda tidak bermain.

      Reka Bentuk dan Perkakasan: Asas Tampan dengan Kuasa

      Origin PC EON16-X Laptop Review: Power Gaming at a Premium

      EON16-X memaparkan reka bentuk konservatif dan gaya tradisional serba hitam. Ini bukan komputer riba yang nipis dan ringan, tetapi anda tidak semestinya mengesyaki ia adalah kuasa permainan juga.

      Di mana Origin PC mengecilkan rambutnya, boleh dikatakan, adalah dengan sokongan paparan yang boleh disesuaikan. Anda boleh memilih daripada 19 cetakan UV HD berbeza dengan harga $30 setiap satu, atau cetakan UV HD tersuai untuk $140. Milik saya datang dengan cetakan Waves 3, yang mempunyai warna yang sangat menyerlah dan rasa sentuhan yang bagus pada garis putih. Dalam sentuhan lain yang menarik, Origin PC menyertakan reka bentuk cetakan UV HD yang sama seperti kertas dinding desktop Windows.

      Seperti yang dinyatakan, walaupun papan kekunci bukanlah yang terbaik yang pernah saya gunakan, walaupun untuk komputer riba, dan tiada kekunci Copilot, ia masih menyenangkan untuk menaip dengan keseimbangan yang baik dan responsif kepada setiap kekunci. Bagi sesiapa yang mengatakan anda tidak memerlukan tenkey, mungkin anda tidak perlukan, tetapi saya pasti mendapati kemasukannya mudah untuk memasukkan nombor, walaupun setiap kekunci hanya separuh lebar kekunci huruf.

      Pencahayaan RGB per kekunci untuk papan kekunci secara amnya sangat baik, dengan hanya sedikit cahaya keluar di sekeliling tepi kekunci. Terdapat juga bar lampu RGB yang merentangi sebahagian besar bahagian tengah di bawah bibir hadapan tapak.

      Pad jejak adalah saiz yang baik dan mempunyai prestasi licin seperti sutera. Setakat pad jejak, ia adalah kegembiraan untuk digunakan, walaupun agak malang tiada pilihan pencahayaan.

      Origin PC EON16-X Laptop Review: Power Gaming at a Premium

      Seperti yang dinyatakan sebelum ini, peraturan terma keseluruhan adalah sangat baik. Melainkan saya bermain permainan yang mencabar, saya hampir tidak berasa panas dan jarang mendengar peminat. Apabila saya tidak bermain permainan, saya membiarkannya dalam mod Office dan, selain kehangatan di atas kekunci fungsi dan sedikit haba dari sisi badan komputer riba, saya hampir tidak dapat memberitahu ia melakukan apa-apa langsung. Jika bukan kerana hayat bateri yang terhad, ini juga akan berfungsi dengan baik, di luar sebahagian besarnya, sebagai komputer riba penggunaan umum yang baik.

      Tidak banyak tambahan PC Asal pada pemasangan sistem pengendalian Windows 11 Home asas, jadi tiada kebimbangan sebenar tentang bloatware. Kemasukan yang paling berguna ialah Pusat Kawalan Asal yang disebutkan di atas, yang membolehkan anda memantau dan mengubah suai tetapan umum, prestasi, pencahayaan, bateri, paparan dan sistem. Ia tidak seteguh beberapa tawaran daripada syarikat lain, tetapi saya menghargai antara muka pengguna untuk perkara seperti melaraskan papan kekunci dan pencahayaan bar cahaya adalah mudah dan tidak menggembirakan.

      Input dan Output: Port untuk Setiap Keperluan dan Beberapa Kelengkapan Lain

      Origin PC EON16-X Laptop Review: Power Gaming at a Premium

      EON16-X mempunyai pilihan port yang mantap. Di sebelah kanan ialah pembaca kad SD bersaiz penuh USH-I dan dua port USB-A 3.2 Gen 1. Di sebelah kiri ialah mikrofon gabungan 3.5mm dan port audio set kepala, port USB-C 3.2 Gen 1, satu lagi port USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 dan Port Kunci Kensington. Di bahagian belakang ialah port USB-C Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 dengan penghantaran kuasa, port HDMI 2.1 bersaiz penuh, port Ethernet dan port kuasa DC. Menggunakan port Thunderbolt 4 anda boleh memandu sehingga dua paparan 4K atau satu paparan 8K.

      Origin PC EON16-X Laptop Review: Power Gaming at a Premium

      Saya tidak begitu kagum dengan kualiti pembesar suara terbina dalam. Profil bunyi lalai kedengaran bagus pada kira-kira 60% volum, tetapi di luar tahap itu saya perhatikan beberapa kekotoran. Terdapat sedikit bass, yang bagus, tetapi bukan banyak kehadiran keseluruhan atau kesan sekeliling yang ketara. Ringkasnya, pembesar suara ini akan berfungsi dengan mudah, tetapi anda lebih baik menggunakan pembesar suara atau fon kepala berwayar atau Bluetooth luaran.

      Origin PC EON16-X Laptop Review: Power Gaming at a Premium

      Mikrofon terbina dalam boleh diservis dan melakukan kerja yang baik untuk mengambil suara saya, tetapi juga merakamkan sedikit bunyi latar belakang. Begitu juga, kamera web HD penuh, yang, dalam sentuhan yang bagus, mempunyai suis fizikal untuk menyekat kamera apabila diperlukan, berfungsi dengan baik dengan mengekalkan fokus, tetapi sebaliknya tidak ketara dari segi kualiti imej atau pengendalian keadaan pencahayaan yang mencabar.

      Origin PC EON16-X Laptop Review: Power Gaming at a PremiumContoh imej daripada kamera web HD penuh.

      Tiada pengesahan keselamatan Windows Hello atau cap jari, jadi anda terhad untuk memasukkan kod laluan daripada papan kekunci. Ini adalah satu lagi contoh bagaimana ini direka bentuk sebagai komputer riba yang agak tanpa kemudahan yang didedikasikan terutamanya untuk menyampaikan prestasi permainan yang terbaik.

      Perlukah Anda Membeli Komputer Riba PC Asal EON16-X?

      Tidak diragukan bahawa Origin PC telah menyampaikan komputer riba permainan terbaik dan berorientasikan prestasi (dengan harga yang sepadan) dalam EON16-X. Seperti yang dijangkakan, hayat bateri bukanlah salah satu daripada sut kuat EON16-X, menjadikannya lebih daripada stesen kerja yang boleh diangkut daripada rakan mudah alih yang sebenar. Walau bagaimanapun, jika anda seorang pemain yang berdedikasi dan pengguna kuasa am, sukar untuk mencari pemain yang lebih baik, terutamanya dengan saiz skrin yang begitu besar dalam pakej yang agak bersahaja dan boleh disesuaikan. .
