Well, the S7, or in the case of the Clevo model will be the staple for their "all in one mobo" styled thin laptops.

Consider it this way, after 2-3 years, just ugprade the mobo, which means you'll upgrade the CPU and GPU, but you can still get the other stuffs re-used. Heck, you may and can even change the screens (or in this case, re use them) and all the parts that came along)
which should be cheaper overall than buying a brand new s7 version xxyyzz in 3 years time.

Not bad, I should say.

The S7 comes with GTX970M (3GBVRAM) / GTX980M (4GB VRAM). The lack of RAM is because its a factory spec soldered on, not using MXM card.

I don't see how you can't play games with this.

My experience with S7 Killer™ Wireless-AC.

The Killer Hardware cannot get detect twice. First time, happen after installing Windows 7 for first time. Installing every Driver from the CD provided. But can't install Killer driver because cannot detect the Hardware. Killer Wireless Adapter Hardware ID is "PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_003E&CC_0280". This was fixed after re-install the Windows and re-install all the drivers, this time can detect the Killer hardware.

Second time happen that the WAN was not working after restarting. Only work if connect to LAN. Again, in Device Manager, the Hardware ID no longer in there. Tried reformat Windows 3 times, each time connect to LAN. At Third time Windows Installation, connect to LAN, suddenly the Hardware ID appear again. (Dun ask me how, it just happened like performing a magic show).

ILLEGEAR has sent this question back to the factory, now waiting their reply on this. At the same time, ILLEGEAR is offering to switch to Intel 7265. But I would like to wait for the answer from the factory before change it.

Hope this info helps.
And I do not think is Driver issue because the Hardware itself can't detect at all. Even there has a correct driver, but cannot detect the Hardware, Windows can't install the driver. At least, this happen to my case.

Ahhh...thanks. How about future upgradability? would the sockets be compatible? or unknown?

The RS series si-beh thick wooo

Just wondering, anyone have a similar issue laptop illegear S5 (with GTX 980M) shutting down suddenly without any notice?

Watch movie on my laptop (at the same I opened an "Intel Extreme Tuning Utility" to see the CPU Temp).

The laptop just shuts down with no warning notice. It didn't restart automatically. 

FYI, I didn't do any overclocking or change the default settings except install the latest update for Windows 8.1, Intel Extreme Tuning Utility & Geforce Nvidia, Install Avast Antivirus, Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

I didn't run my laptop 24 hours... only 2 hours.
This is typical of an overheating issue??
MODEL: ILLEGEAR S5 WITH NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980M
 
P/S: My old laptop SONY VAIO.....no problem so far....

RS-17..si beh heavy...4kg. lol..back breaking

Prince J...are you with Illegear or independent? This promo till 5 Mar and time is running out...still looking. And aftershock price is close...very close

Sooo...future upgradeable?

hi,

want to know why you did not upgrade the ram? 8 is all good?

no extra freebies ah? will make swiping my credit card a little easier....less sakit.
already discussed with the sales rep...will drop by tomorrow for a touchy feely session and make payment. sticking to 8gb ram also...read some reviews online about ram. during my days of gaming...needed more ram only can churn out more fps.

Just collected my laptop. Heavy monster... Patah leher carrying it long.

Bro, where you got your drivers? In case new version out and wanna update. Only place I can find is at the Sager website... Not even on own Clevo website got.

Maybe Prince J  can put links to all his laptop drivers on his site. Easier and convenient

I am on 8.1 pro.  I always play in ac room. Weird.. The temp hits almost 90. prince j

its the GPU....the temp log below is when playing crysis 3. the fan was set to kick in at 80% when temp hits 60deg. this is the default setting in the Custom option in the Hotkey control center
