CyberPower released its new line of Gamer Xplorer Series systems designed with Intel’s latest mobile processors – with the CyberPower Xplorer x6-6720 being one of its first releases. By simply looking at the specs of the CyberPower Xplorer x6-6720, you would realize that CyberPower built the series with gaming and multimedia in mind.

Gaming in the past has always been limited to desktops. This is because of the requirements needed in order to play computer games — from the hard disk space to the graphics card. Currently, a lot of companies are now starting to make laptops aimed at gamers.

By having the Intel® Core™ i7-720 processor, users can get to enjoy playing computer games to its full potential. While other laptops use SDRAM, the Xplorer x6-6720 uses a DDRIII 1066 with a 4GB memory. A DDR RAM has the same architecture as SDRAM, but utilizes the clock signal differently allowing it to transfer twice the data in the same amount of time. Thus making your gaming experience more complete.

When buying laptops, consumers are often faced with two choices. They can buy a laptop that can run performance-oriented discrete graphics but risk having the batteries drained. They can also choose to have a longer battery life but use less-potent integrated graphics. With the x6-6720’s switchable graphics, you save time deciding on which one to buy since this allows you to do both. This is because it gives you the ability to switch between dual graphics chipsets to maximize either 3D performance or battery life.

You also won’t have a problem with space since the x6-6720 has a 320-gigabyte HDD. With that amount of space, you not only have room to install games but also to store your multimedia files. Add that with a SATA DVD Super-multi, then playing and storing multimedia files becomes a thing of the past.
