So may i know the difference in terms of cooking system between re-15 evo and z5?

The official page for re 15 evo didn't mention much about its cooking system.

Thanks

Hello all!

Alright, my 4th day with z5 now.
Had win 7 installed right away on the ssd once got the unit, and had been retrieving my old data/setup/programs for the first 2 days.
And got carried away playing tropico 5 for 2 days

My Spec
Display: 15.6" Full HD Anti-glare Display IPS/AHVA Wide Color Gamut & Viewing Angle (1920 x 1080) with color calibration
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ (6MB L3 Cache, 2.50GHz)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M 4GB GDDR5 with Optimus Technology (Maxwell)
Thermal Compound: IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU & GPU
RAM: 8GB DDR3L RAM 1600MHz - 1 X 8GB
Primary Drive: 1TB 7200rpm Hitachi
mSATA SSD RAID Options: Non-RAID
Primary mSATA Solid State Drive: Crucial 128GB M550 MSATA SSD
Secondary mSATA Solid State Drive: None
Wireless Network Card: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 - WLAN & Bluetooth 4.0 Combo
Operating System: None (Not Recommended for Inexperienced User)
Warranty: ILLEGEAR 2 Year Carry-In Warranty
Accessories: ILLEGEAR Backpack & Velvet Sleeve


here's the summary:

Design & Look: 8/10
it's a heavier than my old dell 1555, but it looked pretty solid and rugged. Hey, no matter how big or heavy it is, i still carry (any) laptop using a laptop bag what. So no frills on the weight here. Also altho they are both 15.6", the z5 looks much bigger because of the larger bezel and keyboard.

Screen: 9/10
Mine is the IPS screen, loved the details it provides. It's awsome!!! However, spotted one dead pixel on Day 2, and I didn't have warranty for that.

Keyboard: 8/10
Adequate for a laptop, of course don't compare to mechanical keyboard la.

Speakers: 6/10
Well it's still a laptop anyway, but much nicer to my old dell 1555. People, if you want quality sound, please la go buy a decent set of speakers.

Cooling system: 9/10
Double vents and double fans do their job pretty well as advertised.

Still yet to discover how to use the macro keys tho.

More to come

Thanks Prince J and illegear for the great product and service.

Oh I got the driver, it's provided with the cd you gave along with the laptop. Just that i don't know what to do with those macro keys haha.
So what do you guys use those macro keys for?
Thanks for the driver tho.

No offense here, and correct me if i'm wrong.
As per the dead pixel issue, if it happens most frequently throughout the product range, then it's likely to be a hardware design flaw.
Anyway, anyone tried this to fix dead pixel before?
dead pixel fix

On a side note, anyone know how to disable the battery charging? Our Z5 has not removable battery and i found that it's a nuisance to keep charge and discharge over and over again.
Anyone got any smart solutions for this?

I know that people keep saying no need to protect battery la by the time it dies u want to change laptop also.

That's not the case for me as i plan to make this unit last for another 4-5 years.

So all i can do now is just:
1. fully charge the battery,
2. turn off switch,
3. let battery discharge, wait for it to drop til low levels,
4. turn on switch to charge the battery again
5. repeat

Hi bro, regarding the statement above, I did experiment in all power plans on my win 7 ultimate but didn't achieve the same effect as yours, which means my battery still charges no matter what percentage it is until to "100% (Fully Charge)" status lit up.

So til now i still have to manually switch off the adapter to prevent overcharging the battery then.
I do frequently keep a tab on my battery level while playing game and start charging the battery when it shows <10% remaining.

Anyway still waiting for any other possible solutions

mine is *ahem* *ahem* wingdrou shewen.

for peepur with no university passes like me, kena amik dos and lanunbay lor.. But sure got discount right when win 10 launches

I think this step is the most important one, unplug the power cord from your laptop OR switch off the adapter, wait for the adapter light to turns off before switching on again

me lol

eh bro.. no need lah.. nowadays a lot of pre activated version in telok lanun dot com.

Oh how come ah? Any benefits?

yea i understand your concerns here about the malware.
but then everytime choosing which torrent to dw, please go through the comments of the torrent.
try find those torrent maker instead of uploader, and usually they are reputable.

so far using pre cracked version since 2010, nth happens tho. *touchwood*

oh ya btw ur battery tips really helps me a lot, thanks ya

no offense to all here..

but in my opinion la, those pre cracked definitely kenot/hard to be upgraded win 10 in future, but if win 10 comes out and Wong Ah Kau wanna try it out, it would always be a better choice to do a clean install by then.
contoh: Ah Kau want to install win 10 on his pre cracked win 7, but the process is super complicated or a lot of bugs or impossible to do so. So no choice Ah Kau need to format his drives before install win 10.

So i don't see the point why saying no to precracked windows UNLESS Ah Kau really have serious concerns about hidden malware (which is avoidable if Ah Kau do your research properly)

besides, it's good to do some spring cleaning on your drives and do the neccessary backup before upgrading to the new OS by then.

still goes by this saying: u are responsible of what u do to your computer.

and if dun want hassles, pls buy original OS

got boot from windows, just go to the boot menu inside bios to set it and off u go, installation speed as normal la.. but placebo effect coz new laptop ma

well, just say that everyone has their different risk appetite. But that's the price that need to be paid lor if want cetak rompak
Agreed on that software incompatibility regarding win OS update, had a tough time when doing it from win 7 to win 8 until i frustrated and did a clean install instead last time.

Anyway i think we should stop here. Later admin come and ban us coz macam sided to warez thread ald

right click my computer > properties > device manager

scroll down to find Universal Serial Bus Controllers
expand it by clicking on +
go through one by one
right click the items (eg: generic USB hub) > properties
under power management tab, uncheck the "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power"

well pls watch these 2



and this



konklusi

unless you are working with very heavy graphics or video editing software, i don't see the point of getting beyond 8gb.
besides, it leaves room for future upgrade to 16gb, which is definitely gonna be cheaper at that time compared to now.

that's just my personal opinion
