Are there any alternatives?
Yes. The Maingear Vybe and Falcon Northwest Talon are custom alternatives, and the HP Omen 30L and prebuilt Maingear Vybe are cheaper options that you can’t configure. Origin stands out with build quality, including clean cable management and minimal bloatware. However, all of the components are available separately, and you’ll save big if you piece them together yourself.
How long will it last?
The Origin Neuron will last as long as you want it to. It uses standardized parts, so you can continue upgrading and expanding it for as long as the ATX standard is upheld. The base model will hold up at 1080p and 1440p for several years before you need to upgrade.
Should you buy it?
A $1,000 building fee is tough to swallow when you can build an exact match yourself, but for those not wanting to build their own, the Neuron is an excellent premium option.
