GBEverything seems OK During build process I received emails updating me on progress, which was helpful. For a custom PC build the time frame was reasonable. About a week. PC appears to work fine. Suggest they include a 'quick set up' sheet for small form factor PC case--it loads from the bottom, so it's a bit unintuitive at first glance.

GBGreat PC's with questionable customer support I placed an order for a high end laptop at the end of 2023. The initial laptop sent out had a GPU that was malfunctioning. Origin made it right and sent out another one, took about another two weeks. I had an issue with that laptop that was honestly my fault and I sent that back in due to my original order being toast. Just assumed this newer one was as well. I sent in my laptop again and Origin had quite a time getting to me/working on the issue/returning my laptop. Trying to get in touch with them wasn't the easiest. I purchased from Origin based solely off the customer service they tout. Fast forward 3 weeks and I finally had my laptop. Management from Corsair/Origin stepped in once they learned of the issue and offered to help me out in other ways, which was appreciated. I feel like Origin is a good company that simply needs better on the floor management when it comes to customer support and inquiries. My hardware is impeccable. But, getting in touch w/ Origin isn't the easiest at times... Thanks for helping, Jake!

GBI bought the Chronos V3 in white I bought the Chronos V3 in white. Super easy buying experience. Received consistent notifications and feedback along the way, setting expectations and building excitement. Build quality was good, though one side panel of the rig was popping out on delivery due to the pressure from some wires that couldn't fit all the way inside the metal enclosure I guess. I was able to get the siding snapped back in place, and all is well. I know there's pressure on that panel, so will keep an eye on it. This is what's keeping me at 4-stars. Overall, the machine looks and works great. I'm a happy buyer.

GB$6000 PC shipped with a bad cooler, service rep lied. $6000 PC shipped with a bad cooler. They tell me it is "the only one compatible" with my system which is an outright lie. They say this because it is a Corsair cooler and Corsair is Origin's parent company. They HAVE to push these products and can't admit that they're defective. The cooler in question is notoriously unreliable and Corsair needs to get rid of them. I have been building PCs for over 20 years and bought this PC from Origin for the convenience, now I am behind on work and have to fix this machine when my new cooler gets here. Not happy at all for $6000.

GBBeautiful hard loop system from Origin I bought a very high end PC from Origin, $6K+, including a hard loop CPU & GPU, 4090, the works. I checked in on the status through the build process and received responses within 24 hours. System shipped on-time and within a day or two of what was originally communicated. They used Omni logistics and the system arrived in a crate on a pallet. Delivery scheduling was good, Omni called me to schedule and they called me 30 minutes before delivery and arrived in the time window they said they would. The system is a beast. The custom loop looks beautiful. Everything works as expected, no issues when first turning on, and configuring and installing all my software, and transferring my files from my old system to the new one. Spending $6K on a system is a lot for me, for most people so I do appreciate the good communication from Origin, on-time shipping, good delivery experience, and most importantly, out of the crate and first turning it on was everything I had hoped for. Thank you Origin for this great experience.
