The market for gaming notebooks has been expanding at the speed of light in recent times. While there are countless options available from companies like Razer, Origin, Dell, ASUS, Eurocom or MSI, new models just keep coming out.
The trouble is that they seem to be bounding pretty much the same specs. Which could be a good thing if you’re driven to choose a gaming laptop based on looks or customization options.
CyberPOWER is another manufacturer of gaming system solutions which is teasing gaming enthusiasts with a new model as of this week.
The notebook is called the Raven X6 and the producing company calls it “sleek and mean” and capable of handling whatever task you throw at it.
The Raven X6 excels at gaming, but it can easily be converted in an all-purpose notebook. For example, the existence of the HD webcam and dual digital microphones implies that the lappy can be used for video chatting and teleconferencing purposes.
The Raven arrives with a 15.6-inch display with full HD resolution, but if you want to go bigger in screen size (maybe a 17-incher), there are possibilities available on the market like the Eurocom X7.

Under the hood lies a 4th-generation Intel Core i7-4710HQ mobile processor working in concert with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M GPU.
While this is not half bad, more demanding users might want to push things all the way up to 880M in the graphics department, but if that’s the case, then you’ll need to be looking somewhere else.
The MSI GT Dominator Pro takes advantage of the NVIDIA GeForce 870M/880M GPU and the Razer Blade ships out with the GTX 870M card.
Going back to the Raven, the laptop boasts 8GB of RAM, which is in league with what is being offered on the market today.
Like any gaming system, the Raven abounds of different ports including 2 USB 3.0s, HDMI out, 4-in-1 media card reader and more. Also, the laptop comes with a backlit keyboard that makes gaming during the late hours of the night possible.
CyberPOWER says the notebook is customizable with options covering a variety of storage possibilities (including mSATA SSDs), gaming memory and OS-s.
The base model includes 8GB of RAM, 1TB 7200RPM HDD, Microsoft Windows 8.1 as default operating system. All of this can be yours for the price of $1,199 / €895.
This is a good place to remind you that Acer also launched a similar gaming notebook, in the form of the Acer Aspire V Nitro which comes with FHD display, Haswell and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M.
