The funny folks at Origin PC sent me a laptop with a custom Cuphead panel on the cover. So what the heck. I tried out the Origin PC Evo 16-S, a heavy-duty laptop with Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics. It’s a pretty beefy system, and it didn’t let me down in the middle of combat.

The details

It has a 16.1-inch screen with a 144hz Matte Display panel. The central processing unit (CPU) is an Intel Core i7 9750H processor with six cores running at 2.66 GHz (and 4.50 GHz in TurboBoost).
