Custom gaming computer manufacturer CyberPower PC has debuted the Fang Taipan — a laptop that the company calls the “most powerful customizable dual Nvidia GPU gaming laptop.” Whether it lives up to that claim remains to be seen, although with a base price of $1,819, we certainly hope that it will be able to deliver as it promises. It carries both high-end components and a high-end price. The default configuration will set you back a heart-stopping $1,819, but the 2.4GHz Core i7, 16GB of DDR3 RAM and pair of Geforce GTX 670Ms in an SLI arrangement ensure you’re getting your money’s worth. There’s also a 60GB SSD and 1TB hard drive under the hood so you don’t have to choose between performance and storage.
You can also pair up a couple of SSDs in a RAID if that’s your thing. To get the most out of all that power there’s a 17.3-inch 1,920 x 1,080 LED panel and an Onkyo sound system with a subwoofer for your aural enjoyment. Obviously, the Taipan is only portable in the loosest of sense considering its bulky 8.6-pound frame, but we doubt anyone would really want to carry roughly $2,000 worth of computer with them in public anyway. If you really wanted to trick this thing out with 32GB of RAM, a 3.0GHz Core i7, 1TB of SSD storage and a pair of GTX 680Ms you could easily top $5,000. Where you can also place your order and expect it to ship on the 26th of October. Dont forget to see the highlights of specs below.
