Usually when we drool over highly overclocked machines we’re talking about big, hulking desktop computers. But the upcoming EON17-S by ORIGIN PC is taking the world of “mobile” computing to an all new level.
The EON17-S’ claim to fame is a 4.5GHz overclock potential (when equipped with the Intel Extreme Edition Core™ i7-2920XM 4.0-4.5GHz with Turbo Boost w/ 8MB Cache) earning it the “world’s fastest” tag. If the aforementioned silicon is a bit much for your needs, things scale all the way down to a more battery-friendly Intel Core™ i5-2520 humming along at 2.50GHz. GPU options include Nvidia GTX 460M, 470M 485M, as well as AMD HD6970M. RAM can be had at anywhere from 4GB all the way up to 32GB and hard drive storage at up to 750GB (HDD) or 512GB (SSD) in RAID 0 or RAID 1 configurations.
The general assortment of USB 2 and USB 3 (2) ports, eSATA, HDMI, 7.1 audio, gig network connections, and Windows 7 also make the cut. Gazing at all the wonderful pixels come by way of an LED-backlit 17.3″ 1920 x 1080 display.
Anyone want to take bets on how long the 8 Cell Smart Lithium-Ion Battery (76.96WHr) will last? ORIGIN states “up to 100 minutes”. We’ll say ~ 30-40 in the heat of the moment. More images after the break…
