Try not to let the charming
Steven Universe print on our custom Origin Eon15-X trick you; this thing is an
outright savage brute. For $3,579 (beginning at $1,972), the Eon15-X will pound
your enemies with an eighth Gen i7 processor and a full Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
GPU. Once you've pushed your foes to the edge of total collapse, you can beat
them with these triumphant Sound Blaster-tuned speakers. Shockingly, your
pretending fun will endure under the Eon15-X's poor presentation, low battery
life and insane noisy fan. In spite of all that, the Eon15-X flaunts an
agreeable keyboard and zero bloatware, making this machine a solid pick among
top of the line gaming laptops.
Design
Our Eon15-X includes a
quality custom print of Steven Universe gently playing his ukulele in a verdant
field (one of numerous customization alternatives Origin gives). This stunning
picture on the carefully bended and cut cover camouflages the massive monster
lying underneath it.
When I worked my way toward
the back, I gazed into the Eon15-X's thundering damnation mouth - otherwise
known as, the monster, polished vent flame broils on either side of the
undercarriage. Over that, you'll discover a pattern in the cover for a
debilitated looking soundbar. At the lip of the laptop, you'll see a light bar
simply under the creases, or, in other words by the husky upper frame.
The inside suspension feels
unbelievably smooth. With the RGB-lit keyboard's adorable, rotund keys; the
lustrous LED pointers above it; and the smooth soundbar, the inside looks quite
smooth. And keeping in mind that the bezels are a little on the thick side,
they're not very diverting. The touchpad has a couple of discrete mouse catches
and additionally a unique fingerprint reader inserted in the upper left.
At 7.9 pounds and 15.2 x
10.3 x 1.5 inches, the Eon15-X is marginally slimmer and lighter than
contenders regardless of its thick nature. The MSI GT75 Titan (2018) is the
gigantic one among the gathering, at 10.1 pounds and 1.2~2.3 crawls because of
its 17.3 inch display, while the Asus ROG Zephyrus is the most petite, at 5
pounds and 0.7 inches. The Alienware 15 R4 falls in the middle of, at 7.8
pounds and 1-inch thick.
Such a significant number of
USB ports! Beginning on the left, there's a RJ45 port, a Thunderbolt 3 port, a
USB Type-C port, a couple of USB 3.1 ports (one with dependably on charging)
and a 6-in-1 card reader.
On the back of the laptop is
the power jack, two Mini DisplayPorts and a HDMI port. Then, the correct side features
a safe bolt space, one USB 3.1 port, one USB 2.0 port, and an earphone and
S/PDIF combo jack.
Display
I completely delighted in
the fresh and beautiful symbolism from the Eon15-X's 15.6-inch, 1920 x 1080
Nvidia G-Sync board, yet contenders have better displays.
I've never observed
Middle-earth: Shadow of War look grittier or more point by point than the minute
I violently walloped a few orcs into a sloppy cliffside on a splendid, blustery
day on the Eon15-X. The sun's beams blasted through the mists and painted a
noir-esque scene for my merciless stealth execute. The red accents on Talion's
garments and his gold-trimmed weapons flew as I front-flipped over a massive
orc and cut his green, soft take off.
In the trailer for
Goosebumps 2 (the continuation no one requested), Jeremy Ray Taylor and Caleel
Harris moved up to R.L. Stine's spooky house in blue and green sweaters, which
appeared to be striking and sharp. Notwithstanding when Harris went after a
trunk in a dim room, the screen was sufficiently brilliant for me to catch the
edges in the dividers and the distinctive shades of the provincial sections of
flooring.
While the Eon15-X's board
secured 114 percent of the sRGB shading extent and coordinated the Zephyrus, it
missed the mark regarding our 132 percent normal. The Alienware 15 R4 improved,
at 119 percent, yet the Titan secured an astounding 175 percent.
At 265 nits, the Eon15-X
trails behind the 281-nit normal for splendor and additionally the Alienware 15
R4's 311 nits. The Eon's board is more splendid than those of the Titan (257
nits) and Zephyrus (253 nits).
Keyboard and Touchpad
The Eon15-X's keys are
substantial and satisfyingly smooth, and their cut out outline looks thick and
charming. The keyboard's three powerless RGB backdrop illumination zones are to
some degree frustrating, be that as it may, thinking about the Eon15-X's
excessive cost.
The Eon15-X's island-style
keys travel at 1.6 millimeters and require 69 grams of incitation compel. We
commonly search for movement in the 1.5mm to 2.0mm territory and a base power
of 60 grams. I nailed a strong 63 words for every moment on the 10fastfingers.com
composing test, marginally over my 60-wpm normal.
The 4.2 x 2.4-inch touchpad
sports a couple of clicky, discrete mouse catches and a fingerprint reader.
It feels smooth and
responsive, particularly when utilizing Windows 10 motions.
Sound
The Eon15-X's grandiloquent
soundbar breathes life into the activity with epic and satisfying sound that is
sufficiently noisy to spread the calls of passing on orcs over an extensive
meeting room. It felt like I had earphones on when I brought forth in Shadow of
War and jumped from the beginning pinnacle. The distorting sound impacts around
Talion were sharp, and when he hit the ground, it did in reality seem like a
superhuman landing. Maybe I was ideal close by the saint, grasping the
delicate, stirring breeze upon a frigid peak as I cut and kicked through
charging orcs.
I likewise tuned in to AJR's
"The Good Part," and each track was entrancing. From the opening
violin and vocals to the ensemble's percussion and verses, the synchronization
of the bass and treble made a rich, full solid. Indeed, even after I
sufficiently heard to remark on the sound, I kept on bouncing my head in our
meeting room without respect to hiding collaborators.
Despite the fact that the
Eon15-X's sound is entirely incredible out of the container, you can change it
with Sound Blaster Connect. This application has a completely adaptable
equalizer, and in addition presets for Gaming, Cinema, Concert, Neutral and
bounty more. This epic sound, be that as it may, isn't sufficient to totally
overpower the Eon15-X's booming fan.
Gaming, Graphics and VR
What happens when you let a
brute out of its Max-Q confine? You get the Eon15-X. Pressed with a full Nvidia
GeForce GTX 1080 GPU that has 8GB of VRAM, the Eon15-X devastated Shadow of War
at 105 edges for each second. Regardless of whether I was bashing Ghûls
in the face with Celebrimbor's sledge or quickly dispatching some sloppy
looking orcs in a mine pole, every development was liquid and immediately.
To nothing unexpected, the
Eon15-X did remarkably well on our gaming benchmarks. It ran Rise of the Tomb
Raider at 77 fps on Very High 1080p, beating the 59-fps premium gaming normal.
The Zephyrus (GTX 1080 Max-Q) delivered 58 fps, while the Titan (GTX 1080) ran
the diversion at 67 fps and the Alienware 15 R4 (GTX 1070) approached the
Eon15-X, at 72 fps.
On the Hitman benchmark, the
Eon15-X cruised into the triple digits with 127 fps and toppled the 88-fps
classification normal and additionally scores from the Zephyrus (68 fps),
Alienware 15 R4 (92 fps) and Titan (95 fps).
While the Eon15-X found the
middle value of a high 88 fps on the Grand Theft Auto V benchmark, the Titan
really outperformed that check, at 110 fps. The Alienware 15 R4 ran this
amusement at 74 fps, falling under the 76-fps classification normal, while the
Zephyrus just moved over the normal, at 78 fps.
Not exclusively is the
Eon15-X VR-prepared, however it is VR-immaculate. On the SteamVR execution
test, the Eon15-X nailed an ideal 11 close by the Alienware 15 R4. The Titan
was simply short, at 10.9, and the Zephyrus wasn't a long ways behind either,
at 10.7, however all contenders beat the 10.2 classification normal.
Execution
The Eon15-X will tear
through Shadow of War and still juggle more than 40 Google Chrome tabs and
various 1080p YouTube music recordings in the meantime. The majority of this is
conceivable because of the machine's overclockable desktop 3.7-GHz Intel Core
i7-8700K processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD and 2TB SSHD.
On the Geekbench 4 by and
large execution test, the Eon15-X scored a 25,190, breaking the 17,963 premium
gaming-laptop normal. The Titan (2.9-GHz Core i9-8950HK) was not far behind, at
22,754, while the Alienware 15 R4 (2.1-GHz Core i7-8750H) and Zephyrus (2.8-GHz
Core i7-7700HQ) fell underneath the normal, at 16,981 and 14,289, separately.
The Eon15-X's 512GB SSD
duplicated 4.97GB of sight and sound documents in only 10 seconds, which means
a strong 508 megabytes for each second, putting the machine over the 474-MBps
class normal. The Zephyrus for all intents and purposes coordinated the Eon, at
509 MBps, while the Alienware 15 R4 shot out an ease back 221MBps because of
its 7,200-rpm HDD, and the Titan's blasting quick SSD duplicated at 727MBps.
When we ran the HandBrake
test, the Eon15-X took just 6 minutes and 34 seconds to transcode a 4K video to
1080p, thumping out the 10:01 class normal and also the Alienware 15 R4's
opportunity (10:28). The Titan was simply behind the Eon15-X, at 7:41.
The Eon15-X additionally
nailed our Excel test, coordinating 65,000 names and addresses in 31 seconds,
sliding past the 0:43 normal for premium gaming laptops and in addition times
from the Alienware 15 (0:50) and the Titan (0:34).
Battery Life
This beast will undoubtedly
douse up some juice, however it was much more than we would have loved. After
persistently surfing the web over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brilliance, the Eon15-X
survived a measly 2 hours and 33 minutes, or, in other words than the 3:37
normal for premium gaming laptops. The Titan kept going somewhat more, at 2:54,
while the Alienware 15 waited for a great 5:15.
Webcam
The Eon15-X offers precisely
what I need from a webcam: dim and pixelated pictures (embed monstrous dosages
of mockery). In the photographs I took, my facial hair was one strong chaos and
there were just a couple of conspicuous strands on my head. The shading from my
red shirt was emptied, and all detail out of the sewing mixed together.
Rather than catching the
brilliant and bright condition I was in, the picture seemed to have a dull,
blue tint while removing a photograph from the window. Then again, the picture
was tinted orange when looked toward the window. On the off chance that you
plan on gushing from the Eon15-X, ensure you spring for a devoted webcam.
Warmth and Noise
This monster is hot and not really positively. After
I played Shadow of War for 15 minutes, the laptop's underside achieved 120
degrees Fahrenheit, path over our 95-degree comfort limit. The focal point of
the keyboard and touchpad hit 103 and 80 degrees, individually. The most
blazing the laptop got was 122 degrees on the lower left underside.
The Eon15-X runs a little warm notwithstanding when
you're not gaming. After I gushed a 15-minute HD video, the underside estimated
99 degrees, the focal point of the keyboard hit 98 degrees and the touchpad
came to 84 degrees. The lower left side moved to 105 degrees.
Software and Warranty
Origin has graced us by offering the Eon15-X without
the majority of the common Windows 10 bloatware.
While the Eon15-X accompanies its own gaming Control
Center, it's not as valuable as I would have loved. There are preset execution
alternatives like Quiet, Power Saving, Performance and Entertainment. These
control the fan speed (which did not encourage the sound), CPU and GPU
overclocking, splendor, and keyboard backdrop illumination. There are different
choices for gadget information sources and rest settings too. In any case,
there were no markers for how the CPU, GPU and RAM were running.
Appended to that application is GameFeet, which features
adaptable backdrop illumination, macros and insights for estimating which keys
are being utilized all the more regularly. Spyder5Pro enables you to adjust
your presentation (just in the event that you approach the related gadget), and
Killer Control Center gives you a chance to perceive how much transfer speed
particular applications are taking up.
The Eon15-X accompanies a one-year restricted
guarantee, upgradable to three years. See where Origin positioned on our Best
and Worst Gaming Laptop Brands.
Setups
The Eon15-X I tried expense $3,579 and has a 3.7-GHz
Intel Core i7-8700K processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, a 2TB SSHD, a Nvidia
GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8GB of VRAM and a custom print board.
The base model costs $1,972 and drops you down to a
3.6-GHz Intel Core i3-8100, 8GB of RAM with a 500GB SSHD and a GTX 1060 GPU
with 6GB of VRAM.
The ball-till-you-fall form of this machine costs an
astounding $10,401, which overhauls you to 64GB of RAM, two 2TB SSDs and two
4TB SSDs. This is made-to-arrange and furthermore accompanies accessible custom
decal alternatives.
Main Concern
Prepare for liftoff, on the grounds that the $3,579
Eon15-X's fans seem like they're prepared to take off into space, with the laptop's
overclockable desktop eighth Gen i7 processor and GTX 1080 GPU close by. While
you're taking off over the stratosphere, you can appreciate the Eon's clicky,
agreeable keyboard, and despite the fact that our sister site LiveScience says
there's no solid in space, I trust the laptop's great speakers will continue
on. I mean in the event that you can get a perfect Steven Universe print like
this on your laptop, the sky is the limit. All things considered, aside from a
superior presentation and battery life, evidently.
On the off chance that you can fork over a couple of
more dollars, look at the $3,999 MSI GT75 Titan, which will get you a more
beautiful showcase, a marvelous mechanical keyboard, a blasting quick SSD and
cool temperatures while gaming, however it lags behind in execution.
Eventually, the Eon15-X is a strong decision for when you require desktop level
gaming power in a hurry.
