Prince J please suggest us any dust protect cover for Z5. Coz my Z5 really got lot of  dusts. No Idea where it come from. More dust can be found in the gap on screen lid/keyboard/touchpad and keyboard. It seems like I really need a portable mini vacuum cleaner... sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif worried alot

That's the pain for most aluminum built laptop. Acer V Nitro, Asus G551 all is like this. Dust magnet. haha

I do order Z5 at Tuesday, i still not receive yet sad.gif.... Too so long time already.

You need to ask Prince J whether they ship it already or not. They will give you a tracking number to track the shipment. Sometime it is not ILLEGEAR fault, it is the carrier GDex fault for slow shipment (Yes, GDex suck) smile.gif

Guys Im so sad. I bought Z5 with gtx860m and now they launching same model with gtx960m.  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif
What should I do now to upgrade gtx960m. Will upgrade soon if the upgrade charge less than $200 (If can trade in current gpu with the new one). But still sad  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif Should I must have wait a few months before buying z5.  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif
*
Before you purchase it we already told you if you could wait then wait till end of March. But FYI, 960m is not that significant in term of performance increase. You still can't play upcoming game in ultra / high settings 1080p.
Eg: Witcher 3 / GTA 5 (upcoming), Watch Dogs / AC (previous high demanding)

So I'm okay with my 860m. The price is cheap also. If I'm given a choice, I would still get 860m since the price different between 960m and 860m is more than RM100

We are gonna have something new in the Z5 stay tuned.
*
Well looking forward to it. But I think the price will be quite different since GST is coming and also the weak MYR now.
My Z5 still working perfectly though, I think I can't upgrade much thing though since everything is soldered. SSD and RAM is my only option now sweat.gif

is it 8.1 is abit slow in shut down? it does boots up pretty fast though

and what does people do with the macros? i only filled in 1 which is keyboard backlight sweat.gif
*
Well I set my macro to volume Up / Down and Screen brightness Up / Down.
Too lazy to press the Fn key.

QUOTE(christ14 @ Mar 10 2015, 11:00 AM)
what no./key is turbo boost? icon_question.gif
*
Fn + 9 = Turbo boost on/off
Fn + 1 = Max fan speed
Fn + 0 = Dim you display

thanks for info

EDIT: talking about hibernating. cant  tick hibernate at the settings for power options. any reason?
thanks. no wonder the macros are pre set to that no. but when i press nothing happened. think because most drivers not installed yet.

is it have to go through the cd for drivers? cant windows search it auto?
*
The hibernating is mostly due to the "Fast boot up" option. If you on it, you will realize your num pad is OFF when you boot up, you need to enable it to use the num pad. Search google and you will see a lot of issue faced when using "Fast boot up". Blame Microsoft ! haha

Yes. You need to install the driver provided in the CD/DVD. I believe Windows won't find you driver automatically. Make sure you install everything correctly in the CD/DVD. Some driver may be outdated in the CD/DVD, so install the latest one from the manufacturer website. (WiFi driver in the CD/DVD is mostly for RealTek, if you're using Intel AC then download it on Intel website for the AC driver)

Well, just make sure the current game you're playing is installed in the SSD. It makes loading faster, especially for those demanding game like COD AW, Watch Dogs etc.

Most probably end of March or early April. You will most likely need to pay for GST though except you order it now.
The price is more expensive also.
I'm looking forward for its software upgrade though. Like driver / program to control fan speed, intel turbo boost, macro etc etc. with GUI of course.
Hope the fan speed is adjustable also, not just max and normal.

QUOTE(MgrSagaaboyz @ Mar 10 2015, 09:43 PM)
Ya thats normal. Even I had that doubt when I bought. But its usually because of the windows itself I guess. Since the resolution size is 1080p, so the texts and some image will be resize itself small (like a standard size icon and text which appears in a big res 1080p). So that might be the cause of it. While the default and some other wallpaper also looks abit faded and blurry but if you change it to your custom wallpaper then problem solved. But I believe that you still can solve this by changing the resolution.  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif

That is Windows problem. Windows OS tend to resize only some part of the item on the screen. You can see that if you're searching in Google, the result will be at the left hand side, right hand side will leave a lot of white spaces.
Just go to Personalization > Display > change from Medium to Smaller (100%).
Everything will be sharp and clear, but the font size will be smaller.

And Windows 8.1 requires a lot of spaces compared to previous version of Windows OS. That's why I always told people if you want to get SSD, make sure the capacity is enough for you. Nowadays software require quite an amount of storage.

get a second ssd  tongue.gif although is kinda pricy

I think better get HDD for storage purpose. It is way cheaper. SSD only if you want fast read/write speed.

Rogue is better optimized than Unity. Try play Unity then you will know the pain XD

I tried. Running at 1080p preset high settings. Getting constant 60fps with V-Sync.

Ya I was able to assassins creed unity in medium level of graphics you still able to play not matter what it is, but there will be hot air releasing from both heat pipe but thats not a problem. But assassins creed unity is kinda boring story with great graphics. And about Watch dogs game, I just have to say that you havent try play it on your z5. If yes am I right? Well back in few months ago I was playing watch dogs game in low-medium graphics on my friends lenovo y500 laptop which is equipped with only nvidia gt760, well there is no a single problem from starting of the game till the ending of it. The game was smooth enough on 1080p resolution for play and there is no any crash or lag or glitch issues in the game. But that was just on GT760m not GTX860m.

Better try installing bro. Sure no problem in playing. Was getting around 20 - 30fps when playing that game.  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  Try your best, good luck!!

Well if you are downloading watch dogs from torrent, dont go for blackbox repack edition. Because blackbox repack edition of watch dogs having some problem.  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

You obviously didn't read my previous post. I had tried COD AW, BF4, Watch Dogs, AC Unity, Crysis 3, DA:I, Far Cry 4, Diablo 3 and Dota 2. Watch Dogs and AC Unity is having issue playing it on High settings 1080p. I got no idea why.
I set everything to Low in Watch Dogs and played on 1080p. Getting 10fps. I still not sure how Y50 can get 60fps though, maybe it is different version of Watch Dogs ? I think mine is quite early before the update. So maybe it is not optimized yet. Do let me know which version of Watch Dogs you played that you can maintain 60fps. I may change to that version also.
And also, 20-30fps is considered FAIL for me. I play game only on 50-60fps.

P/S: DA:I, Far Cry 4 and Crysis 3 I know that it is quite impossible to play on 1080p high settings. So it is okay for me.

How much fps you get ? I think the version I played is not optimized. My Watch Dogs version is currently v1.0. Not sure if I download version 1.0.4 will solve the problem or not.

Is it the wifi problm?

Cant seem to play dota2 smoothly. Will keep lag. On my friends laptop ping stable uing same connection

How much fps you get ? Enable the ping and fps in dota 2 from the Console. Go google for the Console command.
Is it Lobby match or normal pub/MMR match ? I also faced this problem. Now is still the same.
I can get 50-60fps in Lobby match, but the screen transition/when I scroll my view is not smooth. But everything is fine in normal pub/MMR match, I can get 60fps constant with v-sync and smooth transition.
So maybe it is not wifi problem.

anyone tried shut down and close the lit (right before the keyboard backlight lights off?). Today got my BSOD again. The last thing I do was that I didn't wait until the light fades before I close the laptop (after pressed shut down).
*
It is most likely cost by that. If you're using Windows 8 / 8.1, when you enabled Fast Boot Up option, you laptop actually goes to a hybrid hibernation. You need to wait for the light of the keyboard to fade before u close the laptop.
I think it is caused by the laptop is shutting down, but it is still functioning/awake, you close the lid so the laptop think you want to hibernate/sleep, it confuse whether to shutdown or sleep

I've been suspecting this for a long time. The bsod most likely associate well with the sleep mode. 3 weeks I waited until it lights off then I close the lid but not yesterday and that gets me a bsod.
*
Then it should be the cause of the problem, try to do it a few more time to see the issue occur or not. Either change your settings of closing your lid to Do Nothing or wait for the light to fade.
It should take long for the light to fade, about 1-10sec average and 20sec max. I do encounter sometime the light fade in a very long period of time, about 1 min when I plugged in hdd during I shut down the laptop.

@Prince J , could you recommend any other adapter that works well with z5? asus, acer.. etc. The adapter that came with z5 is bulky. I am finding if any alternative brands adapter that works well with z5 and smaller in size.

I think any adapter should be fine. As long as the input and output voltage is the same. But I still suggest you use the stock power adapter.

Can update me to the list?

Got this z5 last month but just recently  got time to play with it

So far im satisfied  with the performance only got problems with keyboard

The keys on keyboard seems to tight its hard for me to type fast or to reach specific button due to numpad keys on keyboard

Have to use 3rd party keyboard for gaming n typing

Otherwise its absolutely a steal for gamers
*
What you mean by tight ? Too close to each other or too hard to press ? 15'' laptop mostly come with numpad so bo bian lo.. haha

QUOTE(xarive @ Mar 17 2015, 04:46 PM)
Okay, great. I guess I'll take the Z5 together with the box that came with it instead of the bag.
It's a relieve for me. HAHA
It's 3 months. Today I got my bsod again. Pretty sure last night I did wait until the keyboard LED lights out tho.
*
Please update us on your Z5 status. Hope your problem be solved soon smile.gif
