It’s easy to find a gaming laptop that maxes out performance and promises gaming domination, but finding one that delivers for less than two grand is more of a challenge. The CyberPower FangBook X7-200 gaming laptop delivers strong performance and a healthy feature set for less than two grand.

While there are a couple things I'd love to change about the CyberPower FangBook X7-200—like the verging-on-tacky design or the short battery life—it still delivers great frame rates, fast performance, and a healthy array of features, all for less than $2000. Thus, it's no surprise that the CyberPower FangBook X7-200 is replacing the MSI GX60 1AC-021US as our Editors' Choice for entry-level gaming laptops.

Bottom line, this MSI chassis is still an excellent one for gaming. iBuyPower and CyberPowerPC are basically competitive with each other and the least expensive options on the market, so it's going to be a matter of styling and customization options that will sway you one way or the other. Now if they could just customize the keyboard, we'd have something truly noteworthy to discuss.

The CyberPower FangBook X7-200 is an excellent choice for gamers who can't live with slow frame rates and don't have the money to invest in a high-end laptop. Granted, at $1,549 this system isn't exactly cheap, but it's certainly more affordable than the likes of the Origin EON17-SLX and Alienware M17x R4.

The Fangbook is just an all-around great system. Of course, you could configure it with better specs, but the Intel Core i7-3630QM processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX GPU, 16GB of RAM, and speedy SSD do pretty well together. (It’s worth noting that this is merely the base configuration for the X7-200 model.)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX:

GK104 Kepler-based graphics card and successor to the Fermi-based GeForce GTX 675M.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

3630QM: An Ivy Bridge-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.4 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4000 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

3.9 kg:

Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight. 

Cyberpower: CyberPower, Inc. is (as they assert theirselves) one of the nation-wide leading computer system manufacturers. As published in the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2003, they were the fastest growing private company in Los Angeles.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
