Origin PC is Good Stuff
My laptop is getting long in the tooth, so I started looking for an upgrade. Obviously not the best time with current GPU and RAM prices, but I wanted to see where prices were at. I didn't want to go through the process of building my own setup, so I started looking at prebuilts. It was also important to me that it was assembled in the U.S. Obviously, most of the parts are fabricated offshore but I support American workers where possible. That left me with a few boutique builders. I'm sure each of the PC builders at this level offer good products, but Origin seemed to offer the best mix of quality, device, and price. The cost was slightly less than if I bought all the components individually and assembled it myself, which makes sense given their relationship with Corsair. Everything was neatly packaged, all of the cable routing was clean, setup was about as smooth as can be expected with modern Windows. Refreshingly free of bloatware, though. The only game I've tested out so far is Crimson Desert, but the RTX 5080 didn't break a sweat. I didn't actively track frame rates, but I didn't notice any drops with settings pretty nearly maxed out. Customer service was communicative throughout the whole process. Oliver and Bryant, in particular, were very proactive, helpful, and responsive. They definitely foster the feeling of dependability should any help be needed down the road. I don't foresee needing to upgrade for a long time, but when that day comes Origin will be my first choice!
