Got my Aftershock X15S last week, with the following specs:

Component List :

- Central Processing Unit : 4th Generation Intel® Haswell Core™ i7-4800MQ Processor
- Graphics Card : NVIDIA GEFORCE 780M GTX 4GB DDR5 with Optimus Technology
- Memory (RAM) : 16GB DDR3 1600MHZ (2X8)
- Display : 15.6 Inch Full HD Matte LED display with 95% NTSC Color Gamut (1920 x1080)
- Dead Pixel Policy : 30 Day 0 Dead Pixel Policy
- Thermal Compound : IC Diamond Thermal Compound CPU + GPU (Free Lifetime Thermal Compound Re-pasting) *Promotion*
- MSATA Bay : Samsung MSATA SSD 128GB
- MSATA Bay 2 : None
- Hard Drive : 750GB 7200 RPM HDD *swapped the Samsung 840 Pro 512GB in, from my 3 months old Illegear RS-15 into this*
- Optical Disk Drive : 8 x DVD ± R/RW/4X +DL Super Multi Drive & Software
- WI-FI Bluetooth : BIGFOOT Killer™ Wireless-N 1202 802.11 A/B/G/N Wireless LAN + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Module
- Professional Color Calibration : Professional Color Calibration
- Operating System : Windows 7 Professional x64
- Warranty : Aftershock 1 year parts, 3 year service (Onsite / Pickup and Delivery)

The build is exactly as how the Illegear RS-15 is, only its internals are of different design. Very impressed with how it handles Crysis 3 at Very High settings with V-Sync off and no AA, upper 30+ fps especially on busier scenes.

Also impressed with how the Aftershock guys handled my build. Chatted with them via online chat at their website, they immediately moved to build phase next day, and 2 days later ready for delivery in Singapore. I had a good friend hand-delivered it to me here in KL.

I could have gone the route of MSI GT series, but for some reason,IN MALAYSIA, retailers here only have the GT70 with the 780M in, the GT60 did not. And I'm not carrying a 17" laptop around, 15" is what I still consider "portable".

If you don't mind me asking, why did you decide to switch from the Illegear RS-15 to the Aftershock X15S? Also, which of the two do you think handles heat better?
