mine is *ahem* *ahem* wingdrou shewen. 

Well as for me I got the original windows 8.1 pro OS for free from my university dreamspark website for 2 years license. I recommend you to try get Original if your uni providing you for free. So far Ori version is a bit stable to receive windows 10 update as @miong93 said.

For the macro key, I set as below:
M1 = Fn + F4 (Dim Display)
M2 = Fn + F5 (Brighten Display)
M3 = Fn + F7 (Audio Volume down)
M4 = Fn + F8 (Audio Volume up)
I set it so because it saves me the hassle to press the Fn + Function Keys

For the battery, mine is as MgrSagaaboyz said, after I charged the battery to 95% or 99%, it will automatically stop charging. Some time it wont show the update once the battery is charged in the system tray, so I just did what is mentioned to manually trigger the update on the battery. Well since this model is not so well known and popular yet, so can't expect there is a lot of fancy tools to use to manipulate the laptop.

I think for your case, I think the power plan option won't affect the battery charging state. You could try this:
1. Charge battery till 100%
2. Switch off power adapter and unplug the adapter
3. Wait few seconds or minutes then plug in back the adapter and switch it on
4. Check whether the battery is still charging or not. (It should start charging to certain extend.. if not it will give u a message like what is mentioned earlier)

P/S: I'm also using Windows 8.1.. For your case which is Win7.. you may ask Arvinaaaaa if the problem still exist
I'm using Ori Win8.1 Pro
IMHO, if you want to get Win10 without waiting for pirated version after it is released, better get Ori Windows.. Cause I afraid later there is no Cracked version of Win10 as the system stuff changed quite a lot.. I also believe in final release version it will need some sort of license stuff to enable Cortana. Well it's all my suspicion so it may not happen also.. lol

nope, no shop at lowyat

It depends on your old laptop is OEM or Retail version.. if it's retailed version you can deactivate it on your old laptop and reactivate it on your Z5.
Nop. You can get there by LRT + Taxi
Take LRT station to Taman Bahagia / Taman Paramount.. then take taxi to Empire Damansara. The taxi cost is around RM9 - RM12.

done 
better go there and take bro..u order online, then pick up from their office...u can check kaw kaw for defects and dead pixel(important)...

if postage when reach to your house got nay problem, you would still need to takew back to illegear which means more expenses 

tak faham... deliviery through their staff?? whats that?

Erm.. I think you mistaken my meaning. What I suggest is, if you got an old laptop which you won't be using it anymore, and it's retail version, you can deactivate it and activate it on your Z5 so there is no need to use a new pirated OS or purchase of new OS.

And no.. you got the info wrong. Once you updated your Win7 or Win8 / 8.1 to Win10 within its launch period (1 year in this case) you get the OS for FREE life time.. It's forever yours.

It's always better you go and have a look at the laptop or send it yourself if your condition permitted you to do so. Cause you can check if there is any defect or not on the spot.

If you're sending it for repairs, you may just use delivery service but make sure you inform ILLEGEAR beforehand.
IMHO, ALWAYS use a better carrier like Post Laju. Don't go for cheap carrier as some time your parcel will be delayed for delivery (which mean more potential damage or harm to your laptop). Just pay for the extra buck if you want to save time.

And you can always ask ILLEGEAR and schedule a time with them for a pickup as they are supporting pickup service at KLANG area.

Hi shinnsohai,

We have been using GDEX Express to ship more than hundred parcels, none of them have problem so far.

A lot of Z5 user bought it w/o OS I guess.

IMHO, if you're willing to learn and won't be frustrated to face a lot of problem in the future, you are good to go with DOS version (I assume you got no experience in setting up a new laptop yourself from scratch)
Cause sometime it's not as simple as just installing an OS, you may face some Driver compatibility issue as well as BSOD or some other error throughout the process.

So if you don't want to have a lot of hassle and you feel that you will be frustrated on all this error or issue which you may face, it is always better to spend some $ to purchase the OS from ILLEGEAR as they will set up everything for you nicely.

if you can overcome those frustration and potential errors or issues, we're here to help you (but you can't expect us to give you a 100% working solution cause there are a lot of possibilities in IT world)
P/S: sorry if I sound a bit rude, cause I encountered too much people who blindly purchased a DOS version and in the end face a lot of problem with it. And eventually they blame their laptop manufacturer So to avoid that I hope you are clear on what path you're going

Well.. if you already have a win 7 licensed version and also a retailed version, just deactivate it on your old machine and reactivate it on your Z5.
Oh ya, if you want to burn the ISO into a DVD, make sure you get an external optical drive. Z5 got no Optical Drive remember ? 
Z5 do support boot from USB. The speed is the same like normal USB.. nothing new.

Illegear provide drivers in cd so that you can use it on your external dvd rom or you can copy all driver files from cd on a different computer to your penddrive to install on z5.     

Can you elaborate that what you mean by (Shouldn't they provide the drivers over their site?)

I have no idea too but I will just slowly wait. I am guessing that the CNY promo will garner them a lot of orders so guess we have to wait until we get an update from them.

If not, just give them a call kut. I am actually very eager too. =P

I guess you will need to pay extra or more exp than RM199 since you're not upgrading but purchasing a new screen from them. Contact ILLEGEAR to know the actual info.
If you're purchasing and assembling yourself, any brand will do. If you're purchasing from ILLEGEAR, you got not much choices, I think only Samsung Evo, Plextor or Crucial.
A lot recommend Samsung Evo and Intel.. both seems to be best bang of buck..
