Oh my
freaking whatever....AWESOME!. I barely had a
chance to even view the text as is it was powering up.
Cool looking - you bet. "Feels" like a
real machine - oh yeah. I'm so jealous - some
little techie gets to play. I've got our tech
department drooling.

Product: Sting
917
Score: 4 stars
The Sting sports a
rock-solid Clevo Chassis notebook chassis, ... D900T
Intel i915P Grantsdale PCI Express Motherboard,
Intel's Pentium 4E 3.6MHz LGA 775 processor, 2GB of
Apacer Technologies 533Mhz DDR2 RAM, a Fujitsu 60GB
SATA HDD, and plenty more bells and whistles... [Compared
to Dell] What you're getting for that extra money
is WidowPC's excellent support...that support is the
best...

WidowPC will be
providing the machines for the PC room, and they sent
us one of their gaming laptops to bang on for a
while. To say that it met our specifications
doesn't even begin to describe it, and sending it back
to them caused me physical discomfort.

Thanks once again
for the cool gaming laptop that allowed us to capture
the footage outside our 'studio'. The last time
we did this for the Halo 2 launch I had to haul my 50
lb desktop with me. I think I just figured out
how I ended up on the TSA watchlist.

Product: Sting
917
Score: 4 stars - 1st Place in all three performance categories
and Editor's Choice
... ran Half Life 2 flawlessly, with every character
and object rendered in crisp detail.
... pushes the graphics pipeline with its DirectX
9.0-friendly Pixel Shader Model 3.0, UltraShadow II, and
CineFX technologies, where vertex, shadow, and pixel
shaders boost the performance and quality of images on
the screen, as aptly demonstrated again in Doom 3.
... Simply put, the performance bar for notebook gaming
just rose. - Raphael Liberatore, Computer Gaming

"...know what it
takes to put together a high performance audio
PC."
Williamson County

"When someone
gets a tech support call, they can talk with someone
who actually built their computer, not some service
desk in India."
"Now gamers can
give up the desktops like everyone else and, in
particular, new laptop video card [like that found in
the Sting 9096] are making this possible."
