i'm going to pay a deposit to lock the CNY promo up for the Z5.
though, here is some questions i have for the beast i'm gonna own:
1. How maintainable is the machine? Like cleaning the fans/vents/etc.
2. How long does the thermal paste wears off? Any advice to replacing the paste by DIY or sending back to Illegear?
3. Since the battery is locked inside and it takes some works to remove it. How would u suggest if i mostly using the machine with power plugged in, is that better to put aside the battery? Will that affect battery health?

We suggest you to bring it back to have our experience engineer to do it. 3. We have received many enquiries regarding this. Per our test, it doesn't make much difference to the battery lifespan even if you unplug your battery. Battery dies eventually if you leave there too long uncharged.

QUOTE(miong93 @ Mar 2 2015, 03:37 PM) Try thisSee if both your speaker is working normally without the pecah sound. What you mean miss type ? You press the wrong button or the button is not responsive ? Send it in for warranty/check up at ILLEGEAR  Tried, Yes the speaker has problem, the right one is ok.. would bring to illegear to fix. thanks for suggestion QUOTE(Arvinaaaaa @ Mar 2 2015, 04:45 PM) This space bar thing also i encounter..i thought its normal coz i press at corner of the spacebar button and sometimes miss..and most of the times i use my logitech keyboard thanks for feedback, looks like I have to type lil bit kasar like hardcore gamers...keke

That seems weird, if connecting to other WIFI is having no issue, then it mostly is not a hardware issue. What wifi card are you using ? AC ? Well try check your router settings, see you got use any limitation settings or not. Maybe you router is set to allow only a list of IP and you didn't include your Z5 mac ip into it.

Hey guys, I noticed a pattern while getting BSOD during boot up.
If I plugged in before I open the laptop, it most probably get an BSOD ( First boot of the day).
To justify this, I tried power on z5 before I plugged in to power source. This grant me 7 days without a BSOD and still counting.
Just an experience talk, I'll try for longer period and report back.

I probably would go to KL 2 more weeks later for 3-4 days. Would bring-in to check whatever issues I had on the laptop during that time.
