Going to Buy the EON 17-S and Need Advice

So I finally decided wich gaming laptop I will buy so now I have some questions about customization and the brand...

1. Does it takes to long to Origin Pc laptops to arrive and are they realible or not?
2. What would you recomend for me two sansumg ssds with 256gb or one sansumg ssd and a normal 750 gb HD?
3. Is it worth the originPC GPU overclocking option?
4.Is 8.6 LBS too haevy for carying around?
5.should I keep the Intel Core i5-2520 Dual-Core Processor (2.50GHz), 3MB Cache or upgrade to the Intel Core i7-3610QM Quad-Core Processor (2.30GHz), 6MB Cache for 160 bucks?


Thanks in advance!

 

1) dunno regarding their delivery dates, but you are buying a sager/clevo, they are reliable.
2) The best of both worlds would be a 256gb 830 and a 1tb drive
3) no its not worth it
4) depends, its really up to you
5) go for the i7

and go for a cheaper reseller, even mythlogic that builds their own pcs is cheaper than origin

 

Thank you verry much for your responses

Also I will buy a razer naga epic,a razer chcarias or tiamat, and a notebook cooler.

If anyone has any other suggestion please comment!

 

whats going to be your usage? if only gaming the 3610qm is more than enough

I did a build using the 3610qm at myth, and it came at 2400, not to mention that I put the 90% gamut glossy screen in that build

I would simply go to malibal, xotic, or whatever, configure it without a SSD and a HDD, buy those from other stores, get the 256gb 830 and the 1tb samsung hdd.

Doing this at malibal, it came to 1769 + 290 samsung 830 256gb + 110 1tb hdd = 2169

those are newegg prices.

 

discovered now that origin is highly overpriced the same ssd was costing 180 dolars more on origin and 180 less in xotic PC.

Also I only got the other processor because it costs 17$ more on origin than the other one.

I really preffer buying all from the same package I will be with my school in USA and I prefer not messing around much.

Also I have another question : Is there any clevo rebranders(same model) that make a more modern design like origin I would really preffer paying like 50-100 dolars to get this same laptop,but more stylish.

Thanks for the help again mr.MM your help is highly apreciated

 

Origin gets their shells from the same sources as everyone else, so outside of custom paint jobs, there's nothing about the design that can be made "more modern."

XoticPC and Mythlogic can do some customization along those lines.

 

Try Mythlogic or Malibal.

 

Get 3610QM, anything higher is not worthed if used only for gaming
Get 8GB, anything more is overkill

Resellers

Malibal, XoticPC, LPC-Digital, Mythlogic, (more, go to sager/clevo subsection)

 

Thanks for alll responses...
@saturnotaku: they actually have a new exlusive design that is used in the new upgrade of the eon 17
@Mobius 1: the processor update costs just 17$ more so I think it is worth
Thanks for all you answers I an currently deciding what one I will buy from

Also I have some more questions...

1.Do I need a notebook cooler for the clevo p170EM?(eon 17s)
2. Should I get a sansung or intel ssd?
3. Should I get a 128 gb ssd and a 750 gb hd or a 256gb and a 750 gb hd?
4. Is the Estimated ship date realible in this boutique sellers?
5.What is better a 120 gb ssd or a 80 gb msata
6. In your opinion which of the boutique sellers is the best for me while I am looking for the most beatiful,high preformance, realible,and budget friendly place xoticPC, originPC, malibal, mythlogic,Ibuypower,powernotebooks?
7. Is it worth upgrade the radeon 7970 to the Nvidia quadro 3000m for a gaming machine ?
8. Do you think the clevo p170EM is possible to carry or I would be wise to choose the p150EM
9. Do you think this boutique sellers can ship to a university in boston if so which one would shop faster?
10. i am looking for a gaming headset that I can use with glasses on consdering this which one is my best choice?(I want a hgh quality 7.1 surround like the razer tiamat but I want it to be confortable while using glasses)
11. Should I buy the razer naga hex or the razer naga epic or the razer naga molten.
12.Do you think itnos worth for gaming upgrade my externak keyboard for a microsoft on to the razer blackwillow.
13.is the clevo p170EM upgradeable in terms of hd gpu and cpu?
14.What do you guys think is the best backpack for carying this monster?
15. Is it possible to do 3d gaming while I use glasses is ther anytying that I can put in my glasses to make the 3d when I want while gaming?

Thanks !

 

1) Do you need one? Probably not. Does it hurt to have one? Probably not.
2) Sa msung, if it's against the Intel 520. If not either are fine.
3) Up to you.
4) Is it reliable... If all the parts are there yes. If there's a delay then obviously not. You already asked this.
5) SSD.
6) Budget friendly? Not Origin as myself and others have pointed out....
7) 7970M by far. The Quadro is a workstation card...
8) Are you a sissy little girl or can you carry a laptop around?
9) They can ship to anywhere in the United States and some overseas...
11) Go to BestBuy and try them all out.
13) Yes.
14) What monster? You asked if you should get the NP9150/9170 so we have no idea. Look at Slappa, Booq, Everki bags.
15) Sager doesn't have a 3D screen on its laptops.

 

Note: don't buy Skyrim for $60 from your reseller. And don't buy a year of Norton - just use Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall - they're free, less resource-intensive, and they'll protect your system admirably.

Note that s2odin is located at an Air Force base - his response to question #8 is going to reflect a bit of military machismo . The heavier the laptop you're carrying around, the greater the strain, naturally. If you're not sure if you can handle carrying a certain laptop around, I'd suggest weighing down your current backpack with an equivalent weight in extra textbooks/rocks/whatever and carrying it around with everything else you would normally carry with you for a while. If the added weight is too much, look into something lighter. And don't forget the AC adapter - the bricks on machines like that are usually north of a kilogram, and that can make a big difference.

 

thanks for the responses guys I apreciate them verry much also I am talking about the p170em for the backpack...

 

The only thing unique about Origin's design is the lid. Their computers are otherwise identical to the Sager and Clevo systems you can buy for less elsewhere.

Well I think I will get the clevo from mythlogic because them and xotic seem to have the best customer service .
I am definetely not going to malibal because of the rudeness of the guy from malibal in this thread:

one of the good things about myth is their phoenix upgrade program, check it out on their site
