    Origin PC is offering a free SSD upgrade with select systems. If you were planning on buying an Origin and upgrading the SSD yourself, this could save you a few hundred clams.

    Low-end (relatively speaking) laptops and desktops get a 128GB Samsung 830 Series SSD in lieu of the base mechanical hard drive. High-end laptops and desktops get the 256GB model.

    That "FREE" SSD is a joke. They give you like $70 off your purchase of a laptop that costs $500 than one similarly equipped elsewhere.
