WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.960
don't worry we got this we got this we got this we got this we got this pull up pull up blah blah blah blah blah it's

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:11.880
been oh my God it's got two power bricks attached it's been seven years since I

00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:15.839
have owned a laptop this thick and I can't imagine going back to something

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:21.840
like this but here's the thing people must buy these things or origin PC

00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:28.619
wouldn't keep sponsoring me to talk about them which is what they did today

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:31.619
so who are you like why do you need a

00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:35.460
full-on desktop CPU why do you need an

00:00:31.619 --> 00:00:38.520
RTX 3080 with 16 gigs of gddr6 memory

00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:41.520
why do you need multiple m.2 storage

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:43.500
drives running in raid zero and why do

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.899
you need all of it in a laptop can you even call this a laptop

00:00:46.379 --> 00:00:52.680
it's actually kind of a good question if it's not a laptop then I guess it means

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:55.980
it doesn't have to compete with the portability of things like this it

00:00:54.539 --> 00:00:59.760
competes more with the portability of things like what you're looking at now

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:06.320
so maybe that's the justification either

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.320
way let's take a closer look shall we

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:19.020
we've talked a lot over the years about the way that mobile CPUs have

00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:22.680
dramatically narrowed the gap between themselves and their desktop

00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:27.119
counterparts but in response to my question at the beginning of this video

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.000
that is one of the main reasons that

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:34.560
someone might look at the Eon 17x or a similar desktop replacement laptop

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:42.420
because inside this thing you will find not a mobile CPU but a full fat Desktop

00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:45.720
Intel Core I9 11900k that is not just

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:48.180
eight cores 16 threads of up to 5.3

00:01:45.720 --> 00:01:52.860
gigahertz goodness but it's actually overclockable although I guess it

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:56.280
remains to be seen just how far we'll be able to push it now right now I'm

00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:59.700
actually running a single threaded Benchmark and we're going to have a look

00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:05.700
at whether we can actually reach that 5.3 gigahertz mark this is a very odd

00:02:03.899 --> 00:02:11.280
performance profile that they've got this thing tuned with I mean we've got

00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:13.860
six of our a cores that are sitting up

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.980
near five gigahertz even though I'm only running a single threaded Benchmark and

00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:20.760
that fan listen to it go they're serious about

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:25.500
keeping that thing cool we're gonna have to open this thing up later we did touch

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.099
5.3 gigahertz as advertised though more importantly I want to see what we

00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:32.940
settled in at in terms of temps whoa can you hear it taking off Andy we're headed

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.560
straight to the Moon that's why origin PC is space themed I guess now's as good

00:02:35.700 --> 00:02:41.280
a time as any to talk about i o and cooling because it's a desktop

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.720
replacement you are really looking at more of a desktop tier of i o on the

00:02:44.099 --> 00:02:51.660
right you're going to find dual Thunderbolt 4 ports USB type A we've got

00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:57.120
our dual power bricks here and they really do put the brick in power brick

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:02.220
they're quite substantial on the back we've got I love this lots of display

00:02:59.819 --> 00:03:05.940
outputs we've got a USB type-c that can also be used for DisplayPort two more

00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:12.599
mini display ports so you could actually run a triple monitor setup at three by

00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:14.700
eight K we've also got an HDMI 2.1 so

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:19.319
you could do another 8K 30 Hertz display out of that one two and a half gigabit

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.599
Ethernet then over on the left side

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:27.060
you've got an SD card reader two more USB type A's a line in Jack and a

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:30.540
headphone microphone combo Jack now of course they would have packed more i o

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:34.379
into it if they hadn't been busy packing in cooling you just watch Andy this is

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:40.200
soon to be an industry standard benchmark pill the sails

00:03:38.940 --> 00:03:44.400
look at this look how far away from it I am as much

00:03:42.540 --> 00:03:49.739
as I might joke about it though the fans are doing an absolutely outstanding job

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:54.000
of keeping this thing cool all the surfaces of this device are actually

00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:57.900
cool to the touch most importantly the wasd section of the keyboard is one of

00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:01.980
the coolest sections and you can see even though we just finished our 10

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:07.379
minute stress test in cinebench R23 we're running at 92 degrees 4.4

00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:12.060
gigahertz now you'll notice see how it just jumped up to 4.5 so what it's doing

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:16.079
is it's opportunistically turboing as high as it can it's actually running up

00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:20.340
against a Core Power and core thermal limit and then it's going back down to

00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:25.040
still a very respectable 4.4 gigahertz that is kind of incredible and you can

00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:31.440
wow now that the facts have turned down yeah it's very quiet now that is a full

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:35.460
desktop grade 14 000 points instead of match R23

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:40.919
obviously origin sent over one of their custom HD UV prints so this is actually

00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:42.720
printed directly onto the chassis of the

00:04:40.919 --> 00:04:46.440
laptop it's not like a sticker or anything like that and they've got all

00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:50.940
kinds of customization that they can do so they're hydro dipping laser etching

00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.080
it's one of the things that sets them apart because you know obviously a lot

00:04:53.460 --> 00:05:00.660
of companies make gaming laptops but if you want yours to look really different this is definitely a way to go about it

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.900
it's also worth noting that origin PC offers thin and light Laptop Solutions

00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:08.100
as well and you can check out some of the special offers they're running at the link down below let's pop this puppy

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:16.680
open removable battery remember those this is a 97 watt hour

00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:19.440
unit so it's getting really close to the limit to what you can put in a laptop

00:05:18.060 --> 00:05:22.860
before you can't carry it on a plane anymore but if you have to ask how long

00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:26.759
this thing goes on battery then you probably aren't the correct customer for

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:32.039
it just saying man look at the size

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:36.539
of the hands here Andy I mean it shouldn't surprise me given how much air

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:41.280
they were moving but still look at the length of these screws are you

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:46.220
compensating for something is it really that easy

00:05:42.919 --> 00:05:49.220
holy crap I don't remember the last time

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:51.660
I saw a mobile device that was actually

00:05:49.220 --> 00:05:56.419
designed to have the bottom taken off that easily that's awesome

00:05:54.360 --> 00:06:05.479
oh wow I know right so the side heat sinks are

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:08.400
pretty small but these back ones are

00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:13.919
huge this back heat sink goes all the way from here to here that's

00:06:11.400 --> 00:06:20.400
can enormous and you got two of them this one in particular is massive it's

00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:22.620
that wide here's our mxm graphics card

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:28.620
and then our GPU memory is going to be built right onto that so this one right

00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:32.400
here has heat pipes going here

00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:34.680
here these are dedicated and this one

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:40.800
oh my God oh my God some of them wrap this one wraps all the way around to

00:06:38.340 --> 00:06:47.039
this guy right here these go all the way so the CPU actually doesn't get any

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:48.600
dedicated heat pipes all of them

00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:54.240
contribute to cooling the GPU as well and then you can actually see these heat

00:06:50.940 --> 00:06:56.100
pipes are connected to a vapor chamber

00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:01.080
so you've got your heat generation that gets spread out by a vapor chamber then

00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:06.180
gets moved to all these four cooling Elements by all these heat pipes

00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:08.880
dang curiously origen doesn't specify

00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:12.720
how many watts this GPU is rated for on their website but that's okay we should

00:07:10.380 --> 00:07:16.860
be able to figure that out fairly easily with some diagnostic tools now before we

00:07:14.940 --> 00:07:21.180
get it opened up let's have a look at what we've got in terms of Drive

00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:26.400
expansion so you can see two of our slots are occupied over here we've got a

00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:28.319
couple of MP 600 one terabyte drives and

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:32.400
those can be configured in RAID 0 if you're into that sort of thing they sent

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:36.240
them to us not configured to RAID 0 because we are not into that sort of

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:40.800
thing so much and then there's an additional two slots one over here and

00:07:38.940 --> 00:07:48.479
one over here so you could put a total of four m.2 drives in here absolute mad

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:50.759
Lads now this is curious it looks like

00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:55.919
they've gone and applied thermal pads to the dram caches of these ssds so you can

00:07:54.360 --> 00:08:01.520
see that's how it's connected to this aluminum heat spreader here but not to

00:07:58.380 --> 00:08:04.139
the controller so I guess whether it's

00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:07.259
airflow through the chat see which I don't really I don't really see of any

00:08:05.940 --> 00:08:11.520
around here or something else they determined that the dram caches needed

00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:15.000
it more than the controllers the odds of encountering a situation where an SSD

00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:19.740
would thermal throttle meaningfully in the real world pretty slim unless you're

00:08:17.340 --> 00:08:26.900
trying to kill your drive and there it is this is a maxed ass out 170 Watt peak

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:33.360
typically sitting around 160 watt RTX 3080 and given that you can

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:39.959
configure it with either a 4K 60hz display or as I actually preferred to go

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:42.419
with a 1080p 300hz display you may

00:08:39.959 --> 00:08:47.580
actually be able to make use of all of that performance of course given that

00:08:44.339 --> 00:08:50.880
each of these is good for 280 Watts

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:54.000
surely it's equipped to hit the CPU and

00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:56.160
GPU at the same time let's see how much

00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:03.120
of the power it pulls away from the GPU in order to run that CPU full bar wait

00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:06.000
3.5 oh wow it gave everything to the GPU

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:10.980
nope there it goes and there goes the other fan CPU fans going it's kicking

00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:16.200
now obviously we can't a hundred percent trust the system's own reporting of how

00:09:14.339 --> 00:09:21.360
much power it's drawing but it certainly gives us a rough idea

00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:23.940
oh that's cool okay so you can really

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:28.740
see the power dynamics at play there's just a limit to what you can do for

00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:34.620
power delivery in a device like this so watch if I put furmark in the background

00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:36.180
so CPU package power spikes up GPU power

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:43.200
goes down to something more conservative either way we're able to get well in

00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:47.459
excess of 300 watts on the CPU and GPU

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:49.080
alone which explains why we need two 280

00:09:47.459 --> 00:09:54.120
watt power bricks not because this thing can actually suck

00:09:51.260 --> 00:09:57.779
560 Watts but because in addition to doing this it's got to run the drives

00:09:55.740 --> 00:10:01.440
the fans the RGB lighting all of that other stuff it also has to be able to

00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:06.000
charge the battery while it's doing all of that so it's not that you couldn't

00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:07.860
run it with a single power brick watch

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:11.880
it's going it's just

00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:16.560
there you go I'm sorry I'm sorry please forgive me let's take a look at what

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:20.700
those power numbers look like running an actual game so what you want I knew you

00:10:19.260 --> 00:10:24.360
were going to want flight Sim what is with the obsession nobody actually plays

00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:30.120
that game I didn't mean nobody uses it obviously it's popular program just

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.500
ain't no game son here we go Ultra I'm

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:36.420
not even gonna be able to take the plane off Andy so do you hear this thing going

00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:41.279
we are in a loading screen got some performance metrics up here we're

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:43.740
managing around 52 FPS ladies and

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:47.880
gentlemen okay throttle control to increase engine power gradually press

00:10:45.959 --> 00:10:52.019
and hold F3 oh it's a good thing there's nobody on this plane because otherwise

00:10:49.800 --> 00:10:57.420
we'd all be dead to take off gently press number pad eight okay but oh

00:10:54.779 --> 00:11:02.040
gently how do you gently press a button oh look at this this anyone could do

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:07.100
this hey see you later Vancouver to increase speed during climb okay number

00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:11.820
pad two and we're headed for the ground uh do you know how to fly the plane oh

00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:16.380
my God I'm in the wrong seat I've moved to the co-pilot's chair anyone who

00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:18.779
actually knows how to flight Sim is going to be very unimpressed with me

00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:23.220
right now this is your captain speaking we are

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:27.600
going to be visiting the United Media Group Warehouse often

00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:32.160
sorry I know origin this is supposed to be about your laptop it's kind of about

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:34.440
your laptop like look you got your GPU

00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:37.500
power 100 Watts or whatever oh no no no no no no no don't worry we got this we

00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:47.820
got this we got this we got this we got this pull up so our GPU was anywhere from 100 to 120

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:49.980
watts our CPU was a toasty boy up around

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:55.800
80 degrees and our GPU was sitting at around 65 66. that's not bad it's not

00:11:52.920 --> 00:12:02.839
quiet but it's not bad yes this game runs on anything but it doesn't run at

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:02.839
280 FPS on anything

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:16.079
man where have 300 Hertz IPS displays

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:21.899
been all my life the fans might be loud but if the speakers can make up for it

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:27.060
then maybe we get away with one here so there's your two stereo speakers

00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:33.120
and there's your subwoofer hold on I think there's more in the tank

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:34.320
I didn't get it I didn't get it no stop

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:38.700
moving okay three health

00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:43.260
need help I'm dead not the most amazing sounding speakers but they're definitely

00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:49.139
loud I mean I guess that pretty much answers what we set out to answer is

00:12:45.300 --> 00:12:49.139
this a gaming laptop yes

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:57.660
um not cheap the cold hard truth is if you're the kind of person who needs one

00:12:54.779 --> 00:13:02.100
