hi guys, cannot decide between illegear s7 or GT72 2QE Dominator Pro both GTX 980M 4GB GDDR5
my budget is around 7k, and both the model have similar specs with difference of rm100~200 which doesn't matter much.
i'm staying in kuching studying in sunway. and would like to upgrade ram/ssd in the future as well as clean fan/thermal paste yearly.
also i like the ports of the gt72 as it has more and the usb and audio jack are on the left which doesn't interfere with my right hand gaming mouse while illegear has it on the right side.
so which one should i go for?
Either one is fine, since I think you probably know what is the pros and cons of these two laptop. GT72 is using IPS screen right ? I think MSI high end model shouldn't have heat issue, so it is okay to get it.
If warranty and after sales service is essential for you, get MSI better, cause MSI should have service center at Kuching or area around there.
ILLEGEAR so far I just know of Damansara and JB have service center. Their pick up service didn't cover Kuching though.
But you can check out AW17 or 15 also, the price spec ratio is also very tempting. Quite worth it IMO.
Asus is also another option if you can ignore Asus poor warranty and after sales service.
P/S: I assume you're going to be in Kuching longer than in Sunway. If it is not, then ILLEGEAR can consider, 7k can get quite a good config also, PM Prince J for a quotation. Maybe there is still CNY promotion going on
Edit: as Prince J mentioned, ILLEGEAR do cover Kuching area for pick up service. So you can consider getting laptop from them alsoThis post has been edited by miong93: Feb 23 2015, 10:55 AM
