Cyberpower Raven X6 Notebook has Intel Core i7-4710HQ
CyberPower unleashed its all-new Raven X6 - a powerful and stylish gaming notebook featuring NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M graphics cards and the 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4710HQ mobile processor.
By leveraging the latest processor technology from Intel and NVIDIA, the Raven X6 sips very little power from the socket until you need it. That's when NVIDIA Optimus Technology, and Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology kick in to send your computer into overdrive to power through games and applications that require more performance.
Raven X6's gaming merit is shown on the brilliant 15.6-inch Full HD (1080p) IPS panel display, featuring accurate color reproduction and crisp image quality. Incredibly detailed, high-resolution frames are pushed to the display by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M graphics card with 4GB of GDDR5 memory. The GTX 860M uses all of the great NVIDIA technologies, like TFXAA, Adaptive VSync, and PhysX to tear through the latest demanding games. Even on the road, NVIDIA Battery Boost technology will kick your GTX 860M into a reduced power mode, so you can still get your game on without instantly draining your battery.The Raven X6 is sleek and mean, but excels at other tasks to become your all-purpose notebook. A HD webcam and dual digital microphones provide ideal video chatting and teleconferencing capabilities, while a backlit keyboard allows you to work (and game) well into the night without having to guess at keys. There are plenty of ports for connecting extra peripherals and devices, including 2 USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a 4-in-1 media card reader, and more. Of course, nobody is going to doubt that you're a gamer when you pull out the Raven X6 in the middle of a crowded library.
The Raven X6 base configuration includes the following features:
- Intel Core i7-4710HQ Quad-Core processor
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 4GB graphics card
- 8GB DDR3 memory
- 1TB 7200RPM HDD
- Microsoft Windows 8.1
- Base Price $1199
The notebook can be customized with additional high-performance gaming memory, a variety of storage options including mSATA SSDs, and your choice of operating system. All CYBERPOWERPC gaming notebook systems include a 1-year limited warranty.

For a gaming notebook I can't even look at anything without a flagship gpu in it. No 1 games on a notebook off the battery anyways unless its light gaming off the integrated gpu. In my opinion the main use for a gaming notebook is for an easily portable machine to take to lan partys. That's what I use my alienware m18xr1 for. I took it apart and did a few upgrades to it. I upgraded the single heatpipe cpu cooler to the larger triple heatpipe cooler found on the m18x r2 and i upgraded the 6990's xfire to gtx 680m sli. Got a lil backpack that holds the 22 inch monitor, keyboard, mouse, and notebook. Take it to all my freinds when we lan game. Lost easier than lugging a desktop around. It's an i7-2960xm oc'd to 4.2ghz on all 4 cores and the gtx 680m sli i keep stock clocks to help keep thermals to sane levels. It actually runs faster than most of my friends desktops.
I take that back I increased the clockspeed of the gtx 680m +80mhz to put it on par with the clockspeed of the gtx 780m.

(Being very picky, but it's +130Mhz on the base clocks or +90Mhz on the boost clocks when talking about matching the 780M's clocks from the 680M)
Yep, definitely designed to game on the outlet rather than the battery! That's what I do with mine, rarely use it on battery, I have a gaming laptop just because it takes up less space in the house, I can use it wherever I want in the house, and it means that when I stay away I can take it with me.

Everyone's talking about how the battery will die but I could have sworn, you can plug these things into an outlet during some serious gaming. I am pretty sure any person out there buying one of these already knows and does just that.
It doesn't matter what is posted, there is always someone looking for any thing negative to say. I get so tired of the negativity and arguing these days on forums, carry on.
There's a lot of negativity on the forums of late, but picking this thread to point it out on seems a little bit silly. The major selling point of a product like this is portability, if it can't function as intended while running on the battery there's a problem. I can see this being of benefit to someone that has serious space concerns and still wants to PC game, but even then I'd find it a hard sell considering how easy it is to set up a small desktop build now.

That is not possible on your portability point there never has been a decent gaming laptop that had any decent battery life when gaming and probably will be sometime before it is possible.People buy these things because they are away at school,travel for business, go to lans.Battery life while gaming has never been the forefront in buying decisions for this market.
