Pro - MSI
cheap, light weight
soldered GC tat y can Giv u better spec

Con - MSI
-frying pan quality unless u go for high end..
-after sales I heard par wif ASUS, the customers service
-soldered GPU, rosak after warranty means can throw away de
-They claim themselves no.1 in gaming, wtf is tat... base on wat, their machine cant beat ASUS rog..forget bout fighting wif other bigger boy
- no onsite service

Pro - illegear
can customize
Onsite pick up n send back to repair

Con - illegear
More expensive than MSI becoz MSI soldered
thicker n heavier
3 clevo OEM brand in Malaysia: illegear, aftershocks n gigabytes so mighty be difficult to choose which brand..

All above r my layman comments... no professional advice
*
ya. illegear is very expensive after customize the item. lol. inside doesn't even have original window.

ILLEGEAR Z5 spec for me is reasonable, as they got a comparable good after sales service..
The cooling is top notch, and build quality is good..
If you want cheap and almost same spec laptop, go for Acer V Nitro.. it's the best bang of buck..
But both laptop also using 860m card.. which for you may feel a bit out dated..
So if you can wait a bit longer then wait lo.. see how ILLEGEAR come out with 960m or similar gc laptop model..

For me it's worth it for Z5.. But currently I'm not sure as there's new card coming out.. wait for ILLEGEAR new model then biggrin.gif
PM Prince J to know more about their product.. they will give you a lot helpful information  rclxms.gif

haha. then i think will wait a bit longer. nowadays a lot people buying this kind of laptop d. smile.gif instead of dell, hp or those branded laptop

Hey tabs,

If you're looking for MSI notebooks then i suggest you wait for the new models with the Nvidia 960 and 950M GPUs.
Should be around your budget (give or take RM100+)

Heard some Lowyat dealers say that new stock already coming. I'm guessing that it will be under the MSI GE series for this GPU.

Go check it out.  cool2.gif

yes GE70 got new stock coming in soon. it is confirmed. come with VIDIA GeForce GTX 960M discrete graphics card with GDDR5 2GB VRAM. but problem is will it overheat the msg when play game? since only have single fan inside the system
