Most Illegear user got Z5 sad.gif S5 very little user
I got S5 as well! I also like S5 more haha it's a subtle design. Also additional 2 ram slots and 1 sata slot.
Let's make some review in the future because S5 has too little user!

Well, the S5 is based on the Clevo P650SE/P650SG a.k.a Sager NP8651/NP8652 depending on which GPU you got. The former models are with the GTX 970M whilst the latter are the GTX 980M. You can check out good reviews for either model here for the P650SE or here for the P650SG.

My main issue with the S5 is the battery's location. That and the CPU and GPU are welded to the motherboard, which means future upgrades are next to impossible. Still in terms of overall specifications, it does offer unbeatable value.

How does the battery location bother you?

I don't like that you have to remove the entire back panel to get at the battery. A minor gripe, but I suppose I'm used to notebooks that have their battery on the outside.
