Origin EVO16-S review: A powerful gaming laptop with a bigger screen
When NVIDIA unveiled RTX ray-tracing GPUs for laptops, a lot of new models launched: 40 of them in all. Origin, a company best known for its customized models, tried to separate itself from the pack with an interesting hook. Rather than releasing a 15.6- or 17.1-inch model like everyone else, it unveiled something in between -- the 16.1-inch EVO16-S. While packing a bigger screen, it's just as thin and no heavier than most 15.6-inch laptops, but much lighter than any 17.1-inch model. Packing up to a 9th-generation Intel six-core CPU and GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU, it crams in top-flight gaming performance and ray-tracing, to boot. The EVO16-S is also pretty well-priced compared to rival models with smaller screens, so let's find out how it measures up.
Origin's EVO16-S takes 16-inch gaming laptops to a lighter place
Origin is trying to appeal to both the weight-conscious and power-seeking laptop crowd at CES this year. The most interesting model is the EVO16-S, a gaming PC with a 16.1-inch screen that weighs just 4.5 pounds and is 0.78 inches thick -- less than many "lightweight" 15.4-inch models. Despite the petite size, it packs impressive specs, including a 6-core Intel i7-8750H CPU, NVIDIA RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics and up to 32GB of RAM.
