Cyberpower PC unveiled the Fangbook 4 series gaming laptops, and they come in three different flavors: SX, SK-X and Xtreme-series. Each of the Fangbook 4 laptops feature an RGB-illuminated keyboard and a sleek design that seems to offer increased airflow, and they run on the latest 6th generation Intel (Skylake) processors.

The Fangbook 4 seems to pick up where the Fangbook III left off, offering updated 6th generation Intel (Skylake) Core-series mobile and desktop processors. The top of the line in the Fangbook 4 series doesn’t exceed $2,300, and it seems CyberpowerPC’s new lineup is aimed at enthusiast gamers that desire high visual fidelity in a laptop without diving into the often-expensive realm of desktop-class GPUs and SLI configurations.
The Fangbook 4-series gaming laptops are available now from CyberpowerPC’s website, and they can be further customized with increased storage (capacity, speed and type) and RAM.
