Review: Cyberpower Tracer III Evo HDR-600 Gaming Laptop

Conclusion

Evaluating Cyberpower's Tracer III Evo HDR-600 Gaming Laptop has been instructive insofar as it addresses a predicament facing today's consumers; when the newest hardware proves hard to find, can older components fill the void?

In the laptop space, it could be argued that the latest-generation processors don't quite offer the same level of performance uplift seen on the desktop. As such, two-year-old parts such as the Core i7-9750H and GeForce RTX 2060 are still able to put in a respectable showing when tasked with delivering 1080p gameplay.

Cyberpower's implementation includes a 144Hz full-HD display, 16GB of DDR4 memory and a spacious 1TB M.2 SSD, and with the laptop in stock and available for under a thousand pounds, it would be easy to see the attraction in stock-constrained times. Trouble is, stock shortages don't appear to be blighting the laptop marketplace in quite so dramatic fashion, and at the time of writing models based on Intel's latest-generation 11th Gen hardware seem to be available in good numbers, and at competitive price points.

It is against that backdrop that the Tracer III Evo HDR-600 Gaming Laptop struggles to stand out. The older hardware still holds up, but the good-value promise is muddied when 10th or 11th Gen Intel systems with GeForce RTX 30-Series graphics are available for similar money.
