Origin PC Corp. is a custom personal computer manufacturing company located in Miami, Florida. Founded by former Alienware employees in 2009, Origin PC assembles high-performance gaming and professional-use desktop and laptop computers from third-party components.
History
Soon after the acquisition of Alienware by Dell, former executives Kevin Wasielewski, Richard Cary, and Hector Penton formed Origin PC in Miami, Florida.[1] The company states that the name Origin came from the company's intention to get back to the roots of building custom, high-performance computers for gamers and hardware enthusiasts.[2] Origin PC's first products were the GENESIS desktop and the EON18 laptop. In 2014, Origin PC announced a new line of EVO series laptops.
On January 7, 2014, at CES, Origin PC announced and launched Genesis (Full-Tower) and Millennium (Mid-Tower) desktop case.
In July 2019, Corsair Components, Inc. announced its acquisition of Origin PC Corp.[3] In February 2024, Corsair announced it would be shutting down Origin's Miami facility and relocating production to Atlanta. 55 employees were laid off as a result.[4]
Hardware
Origin gaming laptops are based upon the Clevo whitebox notebook chassis.[5]
