Origin Gaming PC has a new gaming laptop at a surprising price
High-end custom gaming manufacturers PC makers are known for their great performance, great customer support and high prices. That often leaves PC gamers with modest budgets stuck with options available in the market for big brands like Dell, HP or Lenovo. Those familiar names make some excellent gaming laptops, at a reasonable price, but sometimes you want the extra service and the attention to detail of a speciality brand.

Dell recently impressed us with the Nvidia 1050Ti in its $899 Inspiron 15 7000, an excellent laptop budget game, slightly hampered by a poor screen. Aspire VX 15 from Acer is a similar 1050Ti laptop in the camp of less than $1,000.
The base $999 Eon15-S makes some concessions to hit that low price. It combines the Nvidia 1050Ti GPU with an Intel Core i3 processor and a small 120GB SSD for storage. By looking at the online options available on the Origin PC website, launching another $ 100 in highly customizable configuration will provide you with a Core i5 CPU and duplicate storage, which looks like a smart move.
While this model of Origin Gaming PC is $100 more (or $ 200 if you upgrade the CPU and storage) than the Dell Inspiron 15 7000, it offers two features that are worth considering. The Eon15-S has an IPS screen, which is expected to be better than the poor screen on the Inspiron, and includes access to Origin PC 24/7 based support in the United States (the warranty period is one year).
