The price for 960m announced already?

hi Mooz,

check your pm

Hey arvinaaaaa, did you plan to buy the new z5? Gtx9xx is tempting me.haha

If you're not hardcore gamer and DOES NOT play much high demanding games, then gtx960m is sufficient for you. High demanding games include : COD, BF, AC, Watch Dogs, Witcher, Wolfenstein, Far Cry, Crysis etc etc.
You're able to play most of the previous year game on mid/high settings 1080p, depending how demanding the games is. Eg : You can play Dota 2 at ultra settings, COD AW at high settings, both on 1080p. You CAN'T play Far Cry 4 in high settings 1080p.
Note : Anything less than 60fps is considered not smooth and not playable for me.

Yes Z5 do have it. But don't expect MacBook like touchpad experience from it because both are using different architecture. Different ecosystem also

how about z5? I like the design tho.. and s5 is another 300 extra..

Z5 with gtx970m is tempting, but I would wait for review first. The main reason I bought my Z5 is because of its cooling. There is benchmark conducted by ILLEGEAR that show Z5 with 860m has great cooling. Try ask them about the cooling with gtx970m first.
I would not rush to get a product which cost about 5k and in the end get something which doesn't meet my expectation. (Yes I know a lot is rushing to make an order because of GST )

True.. imagine me using half way and overheat.. it's gonna be horrible..
they told me the machine haven't be tested out yet.. but they say should be good. hmm.. shall i wait? I alr paid full price for the machine. Hahaha

Since you already paid for the product, what for to worry about it now
Quite unlikely they will give you a full refund. So just hope it is not so bad. I think it will be around 70 - 85 degree C when under full load. If it goes beyond that, it is really bad IMO.

Yea.. Will let you know when i got my z5. cheers

No bro..just gonna stick to my gtx860 z5..although its kinda tempting

My point is z5 with gtx970m is not worth it imo..coz can get s5 with triple heatsink and fingerprint scanner and thinner and bla bla..so why want to get the z5 with 970m????

Z5 with 960m is ok..

This is my opinion la

Z5 with 970M will be the best bang for bucks GTX970M laptop in Malaysia, only RM4999 with IPS premium display and Intel 7260-AC.

Slightly thicker than S5, but 0.1kg lighter than S5.

As for cooling part, let's wait for our latest update, the number of fans don't judge the cooling, but the internal thermal management. Z5 has the best internal thermal management among all our models so far.

The webpage for Z5 still not updated yet.

But the performance between 960m and 970m has a huge difference.

we will be updating it very soon.

my assumption is wrong, as princej just mentioned, its all about the thermal management.

the reason i said to go for s5 is i assumed that s5 has better cooling

so we will wait for prince j to do test on the z5 with 970m first..then u choose whether to get z5 or s5

however, is the z5 proves to have better cooling management than the s5, then yes its the best bang for buck laptop

I think even s5 has 3 fan, it is still using the normal 5 heatpipe pattern. So it won't make much different with 2 or 3 fan I guess.
The only down side for getting Z5 970m variant for me is the lack of PCIE SSD slot, 1 less HDD storage and maximum ram supported. Otherwise it is the cheapest 970m laptop in the market.
Z5 comes with IPS display by default so it is cheaper also.
If you configure your S5 with IPS, it will cost about 5.4k though

hmmm..good point.

ok, we will wait for the temp test on the z5 with the 970m

anybody encounter the screen blank after it auto sleeps?

mine is auto sleep after few minutes, then i went to gym. when i start it back up the backlight keyboard lights up but screen does not.. weird

Is your OS windows 8.1?

yes 8.1 pro
