    Reading lots of articles from early August 2018 stating this:

    "
    Origin PC Packs New Evo, EON Line With Core i9 8950HK 6-core CPU 4K display
    Packing an all-new thin bezel design, the new EON15-S is less than 1 inch thin and weighs only 3.4 pounds. The EON15-S sports a hybrid mechanical RGB keyboard featuring individual key lighting and supports an Intel Core i9-8950HK 6-core processor making it ORIGIN PC’s thinnest and lightest Intel Core i9 laptop. The EON15-S also features an all-new, intuitive battery-saving toggle that offers up to 8 hours of casual, everyday use at the touch of a button. As for graphics and VR, the EON15-S doesn’t hold back with a VR Ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB GDDR5) desktop-class graphics card paving the way for smooth 1080p gameplay on the 15.6-inch FHD IPS (1920×1080) display. Other customization options for the EON15-S include up to 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 RAM 2666MHz, up to 2 x m.2 PCIe SSDs, and ORIGIN PC’s custom HD UV printing."

    But I can't find any reference to this being 3.4lbs on the Origin website - just 4.5 lbs. Is this vapourware, or maybe some kind of translation or transcription error you think?

    You usually find the lighter value is without battery.

    That's wrong on a number of levels, as other companies like us already use this chassis it should be clarified:

    - it's not desktop class, it's mobile class - hence it's in a mobile device
    - "real world" VR Ready starts at 1070

    To be fair Nvidia called them desktop class at launch as they are very close to the reference cards.
