yes its worth it. the Gtx 970m has 20% more performance then the 960m.

Worth it.
GTX 970M is much2 more faster than GTX 960M.
Around 50 to 80 percent faster, depending on games.

Depend on ur usage and how long you want your laptop to last.

What is the price for the GTX 960M version?
Let say if I follow the current GTX 860M, which is RM3.8k.
RM700 from RM3.8k is  about 18% more expensive, for an additional 50%-80% increase of performance.

But if you think that RM700 is a big additional amount for you, and you have other things that you need the money for, then GTX 960M is still ok.

This is from Notebookcheck :
Graphics card                Overall performance (Ultra-preset)
GeForce GTX 980M        +104 %
GeForce GTX 970M        +64 %
GeForce GTX 965M        +15 %
GeForce GTX 960M        Base
GeForce GTX 860M Maxwell -8 %
GeForce GTX 860M Kepler -17 %

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-GeForc...w.137893.0.html

So in average GTX 970M is 64% faster.

How long it can last is depend on what game, and what settings that you consider is acceptable. Some people don't mind playing at low settings and low resolution, some do mind going lower than a high settings and 1080p.

An acceptable frame rate is usually around 30fps and above.
So let say the GTX 960M can get 30fps, means that a GTX 970M can get around 49.2fps.
So let say the GTX 970M can barely get 30fps in the future. This will translate to only 18fps on the GTX 960M.

since u not hardcore gamer..gtx 960m is enough..

is u upgrade to gtx970m,already 5k, might as well get the illegear s5 which has triple cooling fan and heatsink

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 )

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.

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

Is your OS windows 8.1?

my gf bought a Z5 on cny promo, so far so good

got free SSD and bunch of stuffs I forgot

Tomb Raider ~30fps ultimate quality

My y400 spoil after around 2 years of use, can't power on at all and other problems also start appears. 

Sent to their SC for repair, now already one week and still waiting news from them.

Normally how long for ur repair each time  ?

For the layman, if you don't have a 802.11ac router, there is no need for a wifi-ac card (802.11 is another name for Wi-Fi). More details about the differences here.

Most people around here have only up to 802.11n routers anyway.

Just got the two new Z5s we ordered last night. I bought mine mainly for development instead of for playing games, but here's my Z5 running Divinity: Original Sin at Ultra settings.



I'm pretty much loving this. The cooling system is pretty much what I need in a laptop like this. I left my laptop turned on doing all kinds of stuff since I received it. I haven't turned it off yet, not even once. But I don't feel much heat coming from any side of it at all, only very slight warmth at the bottom.

The bottom pane feels a bit flimsy at times, but I really like how easy it is to open it up.

Definitely will recommend it to others. Will buy again in the far future once this laptop has worn out. All the best, Illegear!

i think i also posted this once lol

serious dont go for 100+gb sssd

installed windows cod aw then leftover space no more already

gta v 65gb 

Actually yours is quite ok compared to @fr3eze one, he got the worst screen bled ive ever seen. Btw may i know what IPS panel this new Z5 use? Quite bad quality if u asked me. 

Hi Cloud2322,

IPS screen has more backlit bleeding than TN screen and to be frank your screen bleeding level is ok. You can visit us and let us take a closer look of it though.

Thanks.
