CyberPower PC X7-200 Fangbook Performance Review

The fine folks at Cyberpower PC have sent us over one of their latest creations, and truth be told, I’m looking forward to this one! What we have today is the Cyberpower Fangbook X7-200 gaming notebook. The entire Fangbook series features a massive 17.3″ screen (1920×1080 HD LED-Backlit), Intel Core i7-3630QM quad-core processors (to start), and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX and GTX 680M graphics. To say that these things are beasts doesn’t do them justice. The Fangbook has the different versions to it, each with slightly different specifications and price points. The Fangbook X7-200 that we have in our hands today starts out at $1549.

  • Fangbook X7-100 $1299
  • Fangbook X7-200 $1549
  • Fangbook X7-300 $1799

The X7-100 and X7-200 each feature the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX while the X7-300 features the GTX 680M. The X7-100 features a single 500GB hard drive while the X7-200 and X7-300 each utilize a primary SSD and a secondary storage hard drive. Depending on what your budget is and what you’re looking for there is a Fangbook for you.

The Cyberpower Fangbook X7-200 I have on hand features the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX graphics card in addition to the Intel Graphics HD 4000 on the Intel Core i7-3630QM. Right now Cyberpower is running a post Easter Mega sale which allowed us to take advantage of a free upgrade to a pair of Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz C10 8GB modules from a set of 1333MHz Corsair of major brand.
