Hi ddr3,

1. Z5 8-cell battery is built in and you have to remove the bottom case before removing it. You can constantly charge it no problem.

2. As easy as accessing the battery.

3. Do you mean USB connectivity issue? So far we have 1 report issue and waiting the user to send in his laptop after CNY.

4. Do you mean xarive BSOD issue? Unfortunately we haven't had the chance the test the laptop till now, waiting the user sending in and will keep you guys posted after testing.

TQ for the reply

and bro Arvinaaaaa, did you open the botton cover before? is it easy to do so?

and hows the battery life after you have used it for such a long time i take take you didnt take out the batt right?

i know how to take out, and its very easy...just one cover for the whole laptop..BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT U CAN REMOVE AND INSTALL THE BATTERY ANYTIME U WANT, REMOVING IT ALSO GOT 12 SCREWS TO OPEN THE BACK COVER..its easy, but tedious (like alienware m14)

but i didnt take out the cover, because my hinge also got problem and i want illegear to check it first b4 i open or do anything with it for safety precautions.

once i settle my problems with my z5, then if u still want, ill make a video of how to open the cover and post here (but its easy tho)

battery still good and yes, i didnt take out the battery...i really want to, but sometimes i need to use the laptop in my uni and it would be easier with the battery

why, u plan to take out the battery ??

would very much appreciate for the video bro

hahah, scared the bettery life will deplete if overcharge but since princeJ said that it wont overcharge, so i think will just leave it be

hope your problem can settle ASAP

Aight..will keep u updated

i guess so far z5 is doing most fine.. but i just cant get it out of my head that i need that 970m

already attracted to z5 when i went to the studio but after i go their website the s7 with 970 is more interesting

not sure gonna settle for within budget z5 or (budget pulling) top up abit to get 970 that i want

May i know how much diff for the gc to perform?

If both of your can up ur budget, go for s5 at rm5299 with 970m

If cannot stick to z5

Hi christ14,

You did visit us?

We couldn't remember lol

Btw the performance gap between 970M and 860M is quite big.

Yup went to have a feel hehe

So many bsod on 8.1? Receiving my units soon.. Guess i opt for windows 7

Hey there. Before I get to you, I am gonna make sure it is a hardware issue by fresh installing the whole OS. Please let me try reformat the whole laptop and see whether the BSOD got away or the other way round. Thanks!

No problem do keep us updated!

@arvinna please advise the activator for windows 8.1 pro as removewat is for win7 ..

hinge problem? Means? I wanna get z5 but i really need to know what is the problem with the hinge and is it common cause im quite a rough user of laptop

Hi PeinEVO,

Arvin just brought in his Z5, its a hinge "cover" problem not the metal hinge, it's a small casing to cover the hinge.

The hinge cover got some physical damage and we already replaced it.

really? just scared read few pages back 8.1 keep have bsod ones.

only interest with 8.1 due to windows 10 coming else i stick with 7. but since u not encounter problems i guess bsod only to certain ppl.. thanks for clarify

Win 7 will also receive free Win 10 update once it is released. So if you're really not into Win 8, you can still stick to you Win 7.

P/S: Make sure you're using genuine version of windows to have full support from Microsoft and free update to Win 10.

seriously? afaik win7 cannot even upgrade to win8 for free.
