Hi Arvinaaaaa, since you did a full review of the Z5, I was wondering if you could provide me with some suggestions.
I was looking at the ASUS G551 all along until I stumbled onto this beast here.
With the Z5, I would obviously need to top up with Windows OS and some minor improvements, bringing the total costs to around RM4300.
My question is, is it worth it compared to paying around RM3200 for the G551, bearing in mind I'm not a heavy gamer (just want a good specs laptop that can last me awhile).
I really like the looks of the Z5 but is that justifiable for paying that extra RM1100?
Ok first of all..how future proof u want ur laptop to be? Coz g551jm is 2gb graphics while z5 is 4gb graphics..its not a big matter tho, as u said u are not a heavy gamer..
Second..u dont mind using ahem ahem version of windows? U can get base spec of z5 at 3799 and wait patiently until windows 10..sure got promotion when launch just like windows 8 when launch..right now im using ahem ahem version of windows 7 ultimate.no problem so far..if u want to know more about it, pm me.
I know the two above points is siding the z5..but it all comes down to your budget..if i were u and i want to use ori version of windows, i would have got the asus because rm 4300 for the z5 is too much for me..but since im using not ori version, i could up my budget a little bit and get the basic spec z5...
Conclusion: rm4300 is too much for the z5 compared to the g551jm which is rm1100 cheaper..rm3799 is ok..so IF I WERE U I WOULD GO FOR G551JM, coz u want ori windows Im assuming.
Ps, im not a heavy gamer too..but the z5 is irresistible for me la..but the g551jm is a looker too

do ask if u not sure of anything
