15. Conclusion

Both of these system builders provide a good product for the consumer. From a price standpoint, the CyberPower system was a few hundred dollars less than the Hypersonic when comparing non-custom painted units. The scores came back giving the CyberPower the clear edge over the Hypersonic in most of the benchmarks. I would have to choose it over the Hypersonic based on price and the systems as they came to us.

However, I must also consider the older NVIDIA driver on the Hypersonic, which could be updated on their support page. And when I look at the 24/7 toll free customer service provided by Hypersonic, I have to think a little differently as well. One thing that stuck in my mind was visiting the CyberPower website to find no information about systems with 3.8 GHz processors or Go 6800 systems. You simply can't find a notebook configuration on their website right now.

If I were the customer looking for a solution and only several days later saw that it is no longer available, it would give me pause. Does that mean there isn't any support? No, but not being able to see it documented somewhere other than your invoice would lead the average consumer to believe that support no longer exists.

In all honesty, it is hard to pick a winner here. If it is price for performance, it is clearly CyberPower's Xplorer X7-9000. When it comes to, guarantees, warranties, provisions, customization (paint jobs), and customer service, I would have to lean toward Hypersonic Aviator EX7. Let's face it though, either system would make you one of the happiest gamers on the planet. The information is in your hands, now it is up to you to decide how you are going to use it.
