The raw CPU power is the main highlight for the Chronos, Genesis and Millennium desktops, while those buying the larger EON15-S and EON17-S laptops get a few additional treats. Origin PC is adopting NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 765M, 770M and 780M graphics for the portables' mainstream editions. It's also letting the truly storage-addicted run two simultaneous RAID configurations if their laptop has four drives. The Haswell upgrades bump EON15S-S and EON17-S prices by about two Benjamins to $1,722 and $1,784 respectively, but players who just have to stay current can pay the premium today.</div><div class="pr_box open" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><div class="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div class="pr_text"><em><strong>Power and Performance Within Intel® Core™ 4th Generation Processors Available Today on Award-Winning ORIGIN PC Desktops and Laptops</strong></em><br /> <em>Miami, FL, June 2nd, 12:01 A.M.

Hyperkin Retron 5 plays the cartridges of nine classic consoles

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Hyperkin Retron 5 plays cartridges from nine classic consoles" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/hyperkin-retron-5.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Hyperkin has developed a reputation for modern takes on legendary game consoles that are often better than the real thing. If true, its just-unveiled Retron 5 is a nostalgia singularity. The hardware emulator can use its namesake five cartridge slots to play original games from no less than nine vintage consoles, including the Genesis (Megadrive), NES (Famicom), SNES (Super Famicom) and GameBoys from the original through to the GameBoy Advance. It keeps going: there's a custom Bluetooth controller that can handle every system, mix-and-match original controller support, save states and upscaling for both video (to 720p, through HDMI) as well as audio. While we'll have to see just how well the Retron 5 works whenever it exists as more than a conceptual graphic, that opportunity may come quickly when Hyperkin is tentatively shooting for a July release at less than $100. About all that's left for a follow-up Retron are Jaguar and Turbografx 16 slots -- pretty please?</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5OcNy7t17LA?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

Alongside the ability to play NES, SNES, Gameboy and Sega Genesis titles, it's compatible with PAL <em>and</em> NTSC formats, with ports for your NES, SNES and Genesis controllers -- you still have those, right? If not, Hyperkin's own Bluetooth-connected controllers can fill in, while the console's UI will allow you to reassign buttons as needed. There's also HDMI output, so those 16-bit graphics will get the full glory of your HD plasma screen. Alas, following another notable games console, the company isn't showing off the device just yet. You're looking at its predecessor above, which should at least give your mind's eye something to work with until it's finally unfurled at Wisconsin's Midwest Gaming Classic on March 23rd. </div><div class="open" dir="ltr" id="pr_box" style="text-align: left;"> <div id="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div id="pr_text"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <strong>HYPERKIN TO REVEAL NEW RETRON 4 SYSTEM AT MIDWEST GAMING CLASSIC</strong></div><br /> A Modern Retro Console that plays NES, SNES, Genesis and GBA Cartridges.<br /> EL MONTE, CA (MARCH 2013) – Hyperkin will be unveiling their new console, the RetroN 4, at this year's Midwest Gaming Classic at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel in Brookfield, Wisconsin, on Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 11:00 AM CST.

"As this is an ambitious project for Hyperkin, our goal for this system is to combine modern gaming convenience to not only cater to the retro gaming community, but to also introduce a new generation of gamers to the classic games that have shaped the present gaming landscape."<br /> RetroN 4 Points of Interest:<br /> · 2 Original Controller Ports for Each Platform (6 Total)<br /> · Wireless Bluetooth Controller<br /> · 4 Cartridge Ports for NES, SNES, Genesis and GBA cartridges<br /> · HDMI Output with Digital Signal Conversion<br /> · "Perdana" Digital User Interface<br /> · PAL and NTSC compatible<br /> More details of the RetroN 4 will be announced during Hyperkin's presentation at the Midwest Gaming Classic.<br /> </div></div></div>
