Business

CyberPowerPC was founded and incorporated on February 17, 1998, in the City of Industry, California.

In 2003, the company was listed as the fastest growing privately owned business in the Los Angeles area by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

From 2011 to 2016, CyberPowerPC has been consistently ranked within the top 150 largest privately owned companies headquartered in Los Angeles County by the Los Angeles Business Journal.[2][3][4]

Products

CyberPowerPC produces and sells PCs primarily for use in computer gaming. Their products feature third-party components prepared into the complete ready-to break packages. CyberPowerPC offers the option to users to choose their custom components for building PC.

Desktop PCs

With the advent of VR gaming in 2014, CyberPowerPC, with support from Oculus VR, released the most inexpensive computer capable of running the Oculus Rift virtual reality system, according to Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe.[5] Later, CyberPowerPC became notable for developing a PC build for the express purpose of streaming video games.[6]

All desktops released by the company are built to user specifications with several pre-selected builds available. In general, these computers are not given a model name (contrary to laptops) due to the variable nature of each design. CyberPowerPC, however, offers many exclusive series, such as Elgato Stream Machine or Luxe, that range anywhere from one to eight thousand US Dollars.[7]

Laptops

CyberPowerPC laptops fall under the 'Tracer' series. As of 2021, all CyberPowerPC laptops use Intel Core and AMD Ryzen CPUs and Nvidia GeForce GPUs.

Models
  • Tracer III (Low Tier)—a laptop thin-and-light that features previous-generation graphics cards as well as previous-generation locked CPUs.
  • Tracer IV (Mid Tier)—a gaming laptop that features previous-generation discrete graphics cards and locked CPUs.
  • Tracer V (High Tier)—a gaming laptop that features high-end mobile graphics cards and high performance CPUs.

Gaming consoles

In 2014, CyberPowerPC released a Steam Machine designed to compete with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms.[8]

eSports

CyberPowerPC participates in the esports form of competitive gameplay by sponsoring and hosting occasional tournaments, such as its Summer 2016 Pro CS:GO Series.[9] Notable eSports team Team SoloMid is sponsored by the business.[10] Additionally, the company sells several lines of custom PC builds designed for eSports.
