Holy hell, this is thicker than any Alienware gaming laptop or Asus G laptop also with dual graphic cards.

I think Cyberpower is the equivalent of Xbox with their new product Xbox One throwing every component into a big box and not even trying to engineer ergonomic fitting/airflow to reduce size, ffs.

This seems so unnecessary, I've always liked and used laptops because of mobility and small form factor. I've never and most likely will never use a laptop for gaming, as I do my gaming at home on my gaming rig, I just dont see the need for a laptop that forces you to sit next to a wall plug.

Probably has decent battery life with Optimus, and decent power consumption of the discrete GPU(s) when not fully taxed.

Looks strikingly similar to the Sager NP8295. So if you like the design, but don't need dual graphics cards and want something thinner, get that one.

After owning a gaming laptop for about 2.5 years now, I can honestly say that I will not be buying another one. While it gave me enough mobility for my needs (I'm no longer in college and don't need to carry around a laptop much) and was convenient for gaming on road trips from a relative's house or the hotel, the system is now showing its age when it comes to gaming at high settings. Sadly, it cannot be upgraded with a new graphics card, so I will need to build a new gaming rig if I want to play the latest games with visuals maxed out. The lack of upgradability is the one major limitation in all laptop setups. If I had a desktop system right now, I could just buy a second graphics card for SLI or Crossfire to give my system some added oomph, or shell out a bit more money to buy a nice, new top-of-line card--which, though expensive, would still be cheaper than spending anywhere from $1500-$2000+ for a new gaming laptop that would be outdated in another 2 years.

Also, another thing to note is the screen size. I gamed on my 15.6" screen for 2+ years, but just a couple months ago I got so fed up with it that I went out and bought a nice 24" display. Everything is SO much better and more enjoyable now! The 17.3" screen on this CyberPower laptop is not bad, but it's still not as enjoyable as a large display.

I used to game on my Sager because of a powerhouse it was. But not I just use it as a powerhouse for my architectural needs for college. I could not STAND playing games like, just for example, Slender in which the game is mostly quiet, while I wear my noise isolating headphones and I can hear my laptop fans at maximum gear THROUGH my headphones! I hate noise while playing games, that's why I don't even game anymore, it just takes away from it. When I used to have a Macbook Pro in 2008, I loved gaming on that thing because they used/still use aluminum heat transfer as a solution for heat reduction, and I had a crystal pad that sucked away the heat from the case, so I had near quiet gaming times.

That is a total waste of money. How much does it weigh? What the battery life. Who is gaming on laptops?

Yeah, gaming laptops can certainly be very noisy, especially when the fan spins under heavy load. If noise is bothersome to you, try looking up rigs people have built specifically to minimize noise. There are many products out there now that cater to noise reduction. Perhaps you can find something you like and build a rig yourself to get back into gaming!
