The Origin EVO17-S Gaming Laptop is a 17-inch performance notebook built by Origin PC between roughly 2018 and 2022, aimed at gamers and creators who wanted desktop-class CPUs and GPUs in a portable chassis rather than a pre-built tower. Origin PC sold these built-to-order, so there is no single fixed model number across the line — configuration is what defines each unit. It held up because the chassis outlasted several generations of components inside it: an early 2018 build with a GTX 1070 and a late 2022 build with an RTX 3080 Ti share the same bones but sit at very different points on the resale scale. If you still have yours, pick your configuration and condition above for an instant cash offer. You can also see how the process works before you commit, or browse other options if you want to sell your gaming laptop instead.

Confirm you have the Origin EVO17-S Gaming Laptop

Origin PC did not print a single model number on these units, so the fastest way to confirm your build is to check the components it actually shipped with. On Windows, press Windows key + R, type dxdiag or msinfo32, and read the processor and system model fields. Settings → System → About will also show the processor. If Origin PC's own control software is still installed, it usually lists the exact CPU and GPU on its dashboard. You can also cross-check whichever tool you use against our model finder if you are not sure what you are looking at.

2018-2019 builds

  • Intel Core i9, 8th or 9th Gen
  • Paired with NVIDIA GTX 1070 or RTX 2080 / 2080 Ti
  • Earliest EVO17-S chassis revision

2020 builds

  • Intel Core i9, 10th Gen
  • Typically paired with RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti
  • Same overall chassis as 2018-2019, refreshed internals

2022 builds

  • Intel Core i7 or i9, 12th Gen
  • Paired with RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3080 Ti
  • Last configuration wave under the EVO17-S name

Prefer a visual check? Look for the Origin PC logo on the lid or the boot splash screen, since the same Clevo-derived chassis was sold under a few different boutique brand names with only the branding changed. A 17.3-inch display and a full-size keyboard with dedicated number pad are consistent with the EVO17-S rather than its smaller EVO15-S sibling.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i9, 8th Gen
  • Intel Core i9, 9th Gen
  • Intel Core i9, 10th Gen
  • Intel Core i7, 12th Gen
  • Intel Core i9, 12th Gen

Graphics

  • NVIDIA GTX 1070
  • NVIDIA RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti
  • NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti
  • NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti

The GPU is the single biggest driver of resale value here. An RTX 3080 Ti build is worth substantially more than a GTX 1070 build even at the same age and condition.

Memory

  • RAM sits in standard SO-DIMM slots on this chassis
  • Configured at build time, so capacity varies by unit
  • Upgradable on most revisions, unlike soldered ultraportables

Storage

  • M.2 NVMe slot on every revision
  • Some chassis revisions add a secondary SATA drive bay
  • Original storage capacity depends on how it was ordered

Display & audio

Display

A 17.3-inch panel matches the "EVO17" name across every model year, with the exact refresh rate and resolution depending on how the unit was originally configured.

Audio

Built-in stereo speakers sit above the keyboard, with a standard headphone/mic jack for anything more demanding than casual gaming audio.

Keyboard & lighting

Most EVO17-S builds include a full-size keyboard with a number pad and per-key or zone RGB backlighting, controlled through Origin PC's own utility software.

Ports & connectivity

Port selection stayed fairly consistent across model years, since it followed the underlying Clevo-derived chassis rather than changing with each CPU refresh.

Wired
  • Multiple USB-A ports
  • USB-C
  • HDMI output
  • Mini DisplayPort
  • Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45)
  • SD card reader
  • Headphone/mic combo jack
Wireless
  • Intel or Killer Wi-Fi, generation depends on build year
  • Bluetooth

Battery, build & more

Battery

Like most 17-inch gaming laptops, expect short unplugged runtime under load. These units were built to be plugged in during gaming sessions, with the battery mainly covering standby and light use.

Build & weight

The chassis carries the heft typical of a 17-inch gaming laptop with a discrete GPU and a large cooling system, noticeably heavier than an ultraportable of the same screen size.

Software

Origin PC shipped these without third-party bloatware, but installed its own control center for fan curves, lighting and system monitoring. It is worth reinstalling from Windows itself before you sell, since it is tied to the OS install.

Market positioning

As a built-to-order boutique gaming laptop, the EVO17-S sits above mass-market gaming brands on resale, especially in high-GPU configurations. Buyers shopping this line already know what they want, which keeps demand for well-specced units steady.

Known issues

Like most Clevo-derived gaming chassis of this era, fan noise and heat under sustained load are commonly reported. Hinges on units several years old can also loosen with heavy use.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Origin PC did not stamp a single model number on the EVO17-S, so check the installed hardware instead. Press Windows key + R and type msinfo32 or dxdiag to see the processor and graphics card, or go to Settings → System → About. If Origin PC's control software is still installed, its dashboard will usually list the exact CPU and GPU as well. Match what you find against the processor and graphics options in the picker above to select the right configuration for your offer.
02 How do I tell it apart from other Clevo-chassis gaming laptops?
Check the branding, not just the shell. Origin PC used a chassis shared with other boutique builders, so the physical body alone will not confirm the brand. Look for the Origin PC logo on the lid, the brand name on the BIOS boot screen, and any Origin-specific control software installed. If you also have the smaller EVO15-S, the EVO17-S is distinguished by its 17.3-inch display and a keyboard that includes a dedicated number pad.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or an account lock?
Yes, in most cases. A cracked hinge, dead battery, damaged port or a unit that will not power on can still be quoted, since the offer adjusts to reflect the condition you select. What we cannot accept is a laptop still signed into a Microsoft account with device lock enabled, or one protected by a login you have not removed. Sign out of your Microsoft account and remove any lock screen password before shipping, since a locked unit cannot be tested or resold.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The GPU matters more than anything else on this model. An RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3070 Ti configuration will hold value noticeably better than an RTX 2080 or GTX 1070 build of the same age. Beyond that, a working battery, an intact keyboard with no missing keys, a display free of dead pixels or burn-in, and having the original charger on hand all help. Wiping the drive and removing your Microsoft account before you send it in also keeps the process fast.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything, then confirm the reset. Before you do this, sign out of and remove the device from your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts, and suspend BitLocker if you ever turned it on, so the drive is not left encrypted with a key tied to your account. Once the reset finishes, print the free shipping label we send, pack the laptop, and send it in fully insured. After our team tests it against the condition you selected, payment goes out by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp or check. Full step-by-step guidance is in our data erasure protocols.
