I need some advice. It's hard to choose between z5 and Q5. Can some one advice me which 1 should i buy? I'm not a gaming type. Most of the game i play just simple game like PES. usually i use laptop for surfing, watch movie, do some office work and sometimes play game.

From illegear customize, i saw Q5 more focus on speaker, custom keyboard backlight color and killer wireless (i dont know if this wireless much better than intel dual band wireless). But z5 more good on grafic card and just have a white backlight keyboard color. personally i more like Q5 but from my reading here, many illigear choose z5 (so i guest z5 much better?).

p.s : if Q5 suitable for me, should i go for Q7 becoz the price different just rm1 ! Arghhh... headache.. icon_question.gif

unsure about Q5 but from owning Z5 for a month, it is a wonderful machine with solid reatures. the main selling point over other conventional notebook is:

i installed my extra mSATA, and i still have valid warranty (unless i managed to scratch and damaged the codes sweat.gif )

i am currently using the 960gt variant (1TB hdd) for work with games installed (mostly done in virtualbox becuz required win xp) but i did compared both before the purchase:

- Q5 has built in DVD-R/W, Z5 requires external writer
- Q5 has custom back light and key, Z5 has white back light (counting out the red light on cover)
- Q5 has better speaker, but Z5 has sub woofer
- Q5 has 6 cells battery, Z5 using 8 cells battery
- Q5 is 2.5kg, Z5 is 2.4kg (it's still heavy is you are carrying it every working day cry.gif )
- Q5 can do paint job for better looks, Z5 is default *sigh*
- Q5 is slightly smaller than Z5
- Q5 utilize M.2, Z5 use mSATA

Z5's frame made my colleagues knew obviously i bought a gaming notebook for work, with the justification that 'games requires juices so it's better overall, in spec...', plus i won't be able to meet with customers

hoped the comparison list i made last time helped you

just want to second instant noodle, i havent try any other bag yet but with the default bag it sure is uncomfortable for my shoulders and its quite heavy but just my 2cents

currently i'm using a bag brought and meant to fit 14" compaq notebook. it can't really fit into the notebook compartment, i place it on the storage area (which enabled me to carry both notebooks in 1 single bag.)

if you are planning to choose a bag for 14" notebook, but still plan to use it, be sure to avoid oval shaped bags; it seems trendy, but eventually it would lose out, storage wise
