With St. Patrick's Day fast approaching, there comes a time of year when there is no question about pouring a pint of green beer into your belly for once a year. Depending on how much you consume, you may end up with a large number of Amazon parcels on your doorstep that you purchased in a drunken stupor. Kudos to Origin PC for launching their St. Paddy's Day sale a few days early. Shopping sober is the financially responsible thing to do.

That said, a quick look at the boutique builder's website reveals that all gaming laptops are on sale, some for $100 less, some for $200 less, and some for $200 less.

The 15.6-inch EVO16-S falls into both categories, depending on configuration: Intel Core i7-9750H processor, 8GB of DDR4-2400 RAM, GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, 240GB Corsair Force MP510 NVMe 144Hz IPS display with solid state drive comes standard. The regular price is $1,831, but with a $100 discount, it is available now for $1,731.

To save $200, you will need to drop down to a Core i7-8750H. This will automatically change the GPU to a GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q. With these changes, the price would be $2,352 before the discount and $2,152 after.

The breakdown is as follows:

Some deals are better than others, depending on what you are looking for in a laptop. Origin PC also offers free CPU and GPU overclocking.
