我最喜歡玩的遊戲之一是 Fortnite ，我絕對不會考慮透過有線乙太網路使用 Wi-Fi 來玩像這樣的競技線上射擊遊戲，除了這種情況。 Wi-Fi 沒有任何連線問題，而且效能與我體驗過的一樣流暢。雖然通常在著陸後不久幀速率就會下降，但一旦進入遊戲，幀速率就保持穩定的 60 fps。這是在搭配非常高的設定時，即使在之前記錄了超過 1,100 小時的遊戲時間之後，也感覺像是一種新鮮的體驗。當然，如果您想以數百幀速率運行遊戲，這始終是一個選擇，但您將犧牲一些在該顯示器上真正閃耀的高端視覺效果。
鍵盤在遊戲方面表現良好，對快速按下的反應良好。當然，它的性能無法與我喜歡的像 Logitech G915 Lightspeed 這樣的優質外置機械鍵盤相媲美，但當我需要使用它進行競技遊戲時，這從來都不是問題。
可以輕鬆地在筆記型電腦的不同操作模式之間切換。透過隨附的 Origin Control Center 軟體或使用電源按鈕旁的專用鑰匙。 「辦公室」模式是一種用於一般非遊戲用途的較低性能模式，很少（如果有的話）會啟動粉絲。在「遊戲」模式下，筆記型電腦會根據目前情況自動調整風扇速度。 「Turbo」模式可釋放筆記型電腦的全部效能潛力，同時也讓風扇以滿載運轉並降低噪音水平。最後，還有一個「自訂」模式，您可以為不同的遊戲或應用程式設定配置文件，並調整處理器、GPU 和風扇設置，以獲得您所需的效能。
當 Turbo 模式處於活動狀態並且在重負載下時，風扇的聲音當然很大，但絕不會太專橫。我確實注意到左側通風口比右側通風口排出更多的熱量，當我將滑鼠放在右側時，這對我來說很好。
當然，對於遊戲時筆記型電腦的所有主觀使用以及我的體驗對我來說有多積極，基準測試始終是全面了解機器性能上限的最佳方式。我在插入 EON16-X 並設定為 Turbo 模式的情況下運行了四個流行的基準測試。
3DMark 針對遊戲 PC 的極其苛刻的以 4K 為中心的 Steel Nomad 基準測試得出的 3DMark 和圖形分數為 5,226，圖形測試中的圖形分數為 52.27 fps。雖然這只是配備更強大GPU 的最高階遊戲桌上型電腦效能的30 - 50%，但它仍然擊敗了配備NVIDIA RTX 4070 或AMD RX 7800 XT 等流行GPU 的桌上型電腦，平均效能提升超過10%幀率更好。不用說，EON16-X 在這次測試中讓許多其他遊戲筆記型電腦相形見絀。
使用舊版 Time Spy Extreme（針對 Windows 10 遊戲 PC 的 4K DirectX 12 基準測試），CPU 得分為 9,637，圖形得分為 10,836，平均得分為 10,637。這高於所有結果的 78%，並且遠遠超出 2023 年遊戲桌上型電腦 8,090 分的平均得分。
運行自稱為現代辦公室完整基準的 PCMark 10，得分為 8,704，優於所有結果的 96%。它遠高於 2023 年遊戲筆記型電腦的平均得分 7,066，但不接近 2023 年遊戲桌上型電腦的平均得分 9,483。雖然 EON16-X 不一定是您生產力機器的首選，但它的強大功能肯定可以充分利用即使是非常苛刻的照片和影片編輯場景。
在 VRMark Blue Room 基準測試中，EON16X-16 得分為 6,850，平均幀率為 149.34，超過了 2023 年遊戲桌上型電腦的平均值 5,198，與 2023 年高階遊戲電腦的平均值 7,815 相差不遠。 。正如預期的那樣，這款筆記型電腦為甚至非常苛刻的 VR 使用案例提供了一個出色的平台。
Switching to Office mode, running from battery, 53% screen brightness, and leaving the keyboard and light bar lighting on, I ran the UL Procyon benchmark and its Office Productivity One-Hour Battery Consumption test. It gave a performance score of 18,400, noting a 33% drop in battery life over the first hour of use. This translates to roughly three to four hours of maximum battery life, even with minimal screen brightness and no GPU usage. This falls in line with Origin PC's own estimates of three to six hours under normal usage and one and a half to two hours under heavy loads, such as gaming. In any case, you'll probably want to be close to an outlet even when you're not gaming.
Design and Hardware: Basic Good Looks with Power
The EON16-X sports a conservative design and traditional all-black styling. This is no thin and light laptop, but you wouldn't necessarily suspect it's a gaming powerhouse either.
Where Origin PC does let down its hair, so to speak, is with a customizable display backing. You can choose from 19 different HD UV prints for $30 each, or a custom HD UV print for $140. Mine came with the Waves 3 print, which has color that really pops and a nice tactile feel to the white lines. In another nice touch, Origin PC includes the same HD UV print design as a Windows desktop wallpaper.
As mentioned, while the keyboard is not the best I've ever used, even for a laptop, and there's no Copilot key, it's still pleasant to type on with good balance and responsiveness to each key. For anyone who says you don't need a tenkey, maybe you don't, but I certainly found its inclusion convenient for entering numbers, even if each key is only half the width of the letter keys.
The per-key RGB lighting for the keyboard is generally excellent, with just a little bit of light bleed around the key edges. There's also an RGB light bar that spans much of the center below the front lip of the base.
The trackpad is a good size and has silky smooth performance. As far as trackpads go, it's a joy to use, although it's a bit unfortunate there's no lighting option.
As previously indicated, overall thermal regulation is excellent. Unless I was playing a demanding game, I barely felt any heat and rarely heard the fans. When I wasn't gaming, I left it in Office mode and, other than warmth above the function keys and some heat from the sides of the laptop body, I could hardly tell it was doing anything at all. If not for the limited battery life, this would also do well, outside some of its bulkiness, as a good general usage laptop.
There's not much Origin PC adds to the basic Windows 11 Home operating system installation, so there are no real worries about bloatware. The most useful inclusion is the aforementioned Origin Control Center, which lets you monitor and modify general, performance, lighting, battery, display, and system settings. It's not as robust as some of the offerings from other companies, but I appreciated that the user interface for things like adjusting the keyboard and light bar lighting was straightforward and not overwhelming.
The EON16-X has a robust port selection. On the right side is a USH-I full-size SD card reader and two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports. On the left side is a 3.5mm combination microphone and headset audio port, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, another USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, and a Kensington Lock Port. At the rear is a USB-C Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 port with power delivery, a full-size HDMI 2.1 port, Ethernet port, and DC power port. Using the Thunderbolt 4 ports you can drive up to two 4K displays or one 8K display.
I was not particularly impressed by the quality of the built-in speakers. The default sound profile sounds good at about 60% volume, but beyond that level I noted some muddiness. There's a little bit of bass, which is nice, but not a great deal of overall presence or noticeable surround effects. In short, these speakers will do in a pinch, but you're better off using external wired or Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
The built-in microphone is serviceable and did a good job of picking up my voice, but also recorded some background noise. Similarly, the full HD webcam, which, in a nice touch, has a physical switch to block the camera when needed, does a good job with keeping focus, but is otherwise unremarkable in terms of image quality or handling challenging lighting conditions.
There's no Windows Hello or fingerprint security validation, so you're limited to entering a passcode from the keyboard. This is yet another example of how this is designed as a relatively no-frills laptop primarily dedicated to delivering top-notch gaming performance.
Should You Buy the Origin PC EON16-X Laptop?
There's no question that Origin PC has delivered an ultimate gaming, and performance-oriented laptop (with a price to match) in the EON16-X. As expected, battery life is not one of the EON16-X's strong suits, making it more of a transportable workstation than a truly mobile companion. However, if you're a dedicated gamer and general power user, it would be difficult to find a better performer, especially with such a big screen size in such a relatively understated, and customizable, package.
