14 DAY TRIAL // It would appear that even high-end notebooks have room to grow in power, provided suitable hardware components exist, this being exactly what happened to a certain Origin mobile computer aimed at gamers.
As some may or may not know, Origin PC is one of those IT companies that has one of those high-tier, powerful series of gaming notebooks.
Said series goes by the name of EON and has definitely never had issues with processing speed, what with the mobile CPUs from Intel.
Then again, it is the central processing unit that has been upgraded most recently, or at least the possibility now exists for a mighty chip to be used.
The model in question is the 17-inch EON17-S and can now be configured with an overclocked version of the Intel Intel Extreme Edition Core i7-2920XM Quad-Core Processor.
For those unfamiliar with it, this beast has a base clock speed of no less than 4.1 GHz, meaning that Turbo Boost can dynamically overclock it to 4.8 GHz.
Along with the L3 cache memory or 8 MB, this sets the stage for a gaming prowess that will probably be impossible to utilize in full, what with today's games not needing so much power, for the most part anyway.
For those that want a reminder as to what other components exist, up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM (random access memory) can be added, plus a 1.5 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M discrete graphics card or a pair of GTX 485M boards (2GB total memory).
Needless to say, Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), even in 3D (via NVIDIA 3D Vision) will be a breeze although, true enough, one shouldn't expect battery life to last for long.
Finally, the price is, as one would expect, high, namely of $1,759, with the aforementioned top-grade CPU adding $1,044 all on its own.
