    Hi Everyone,
    I'm looking to get a very high end 15 or so inch gaming laptop in the near future. I mainly care about internal components and a high end video card so the laptop will last however the laptop looks also matter somewhat so I'd like something with a nice design.

    I've heard of many different Clevo re-sellers however Origin was the only one I was familiar with before I began researching this. They seem to have a pretty nice product although it is very expensive.

    Would anyone recommend / has anything to say about Origin PC?

    Are there any other companies I should consider?

    Thanks!

    Consider the following: Malibal, XoticPC, Mythlogic, PowerNotebooks.

    Origin is going to be a few hundred more expensive than those.

    Have a look in the reseller feedback forum if you want to know what they're like.

    I havn't seen a ton of feedback but from what I've read they're pretty good.

    Origin's heavy premium makes it hard to recommend their services.

    Somewhat, if you've got the money, you surely won't be disappointed, they offer a lot of goodies ;)

    Also if you consider the amount of sponsors + cooperation that they've got with several websites, it makes Origin golden in the eyes of a average buyer.

    They are a few hundred over priced, but they do put on a fancy cover that makes the Clevo look unique [in my opinion UGLY].

    I love the plain business/professional look of the Clevo's especially the new P150/170EM's .

    Origin was my first choice before I came across Malibal. I saved at least a few hundred if not more, and Malibal actually responded to my questions promptly.

    The only thing Origin offered others didnt that interested me was the laser etching...However, the local trophy shop provides the same laser etching service on my Clevo 170 for $25.
