The Sting 517m is considerably lighter than most heavy-duty gaming laptops, but features truly spectacular processing power and multimedia performance.
A high quality 17-inch display is perfect for playing 3D games, editing videos, or watching DVDs. A double-layer DVD burner is another welcome addition, and includes LightScribe technology for professional quality media creation.
Battery life and Wi-Fi range are both a bit on the disappointing side, but as far as pure general processing power goes, the 517m is one of the best desktop replacements you can buy.
