I am currently studying in Japan and I am not going to come back to Malaysia until next year. Is it possible to ship to Japan?

And, the Z5 suits my need except a few questions here:
1. does the GTX970m 6GB has much advantage over 3GB versions?
2. possible to customize Z5 with GTX970m 3GB and how much the difference?
3. the design of Z5 is just too fancy for me to use use it during presentation in research conferences. Possible to change the design to a non-fancy one?

thanks in advance!

Hi wiltwr,

Yes we do ship to Japan via DHL Express, and the shipping is free.

1 and 2. We only have 6gb gddr5 970m edition. According to our customer, you can enable AA in some high-end games with 6GB.

3. We cannot change chassis, but you can take a look of our Q series.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Two more questions here:
1. Does Z5 support G-sync if I choose gtx970m?
2. How long does it take to reach Japan once I had placed the order?
*
Hi there

1. Z series don't support Gsync, only S and D do.

2. We use DHL to ship to Japan, usually it takes less than 4 days for the transit time.

Yup, they are running out of name, haha! I am using the nightmare setting, I didn't check the FPS but it is extremely smooth. No playable issue at all.

I had read some comments at Steam discussion. This games is like all new games now which required a lot of VRAM.
If anyone here GPU is 2GB VRAM, it is advisable stop thinking to buy this games as it is nearly unplayable in 2GB GPU.

For nightmare setting, the VRAM requirement is 5GB.

Some more screenshot. smile.gif in nightmare setting.

Hi there. My name is Faris Azri Aswandi (from Sarawak though currently studying in UiTM). I guess you can add me up as the owner of the Z7. I just received it today. So far, I am rather disappointed since the laptop seem to have a problem connecting to sites other than google, youtube and facebook. I am supposed to bring it back to Illegear so they can take a look though without transport and free time (close to finals), that might take a while. I will update back later if the problem is fixed. Though the customer service are very responsive to chat which is good.

Any solution from you guys will be appreciated.
*
Hi Faris,

Thank you for your patronage and welcome to the club.

For the problem of connecting to sites other than google, youtube and facebook, please check whether your internet service provider has blocked the internet access first, according to live chat you are connecting to an university network.

As per checking your order details, the laptop doesn't come with DOS, which OS did you install?

The wifi has no problem with it. I am using my Asus right next to my Z7 and my Asus has no problem at all surfing the web. I had you guys install the free 30 days Windows 8.1 on it and that is what I am currently using. Searching online rigorously I found very few solutions. Good thing is, the problem is now resolved. I am not sure why it can't before and why it can suddenly connect to other sites.

Though, I want to ask how do you guys stop the laptop from automatically charging at 95% while plugged in? I am kinda worried about overcharging my Z7 since the battery is so hard to be removed. By the way, is there an audio driver I should download because the audio is very weak. Even my phone is much much louder than my Z7 at full volume.
*
Glad it has been sorted out. If you are installing your own OS, you have to install the audio driver, you can find the download link at the front page.

I suggest you to drop by our office so we can assist you on installing the OS and setup the Z7.

hi guys. im thinking of buying the z5. but i want to ask some questions. does this laptop has black colour? the silver colour is too birght for me  sad.gif  sad.gif
btw, i was inform that this laptop only has M.2 Sata SSD. but in the description at illegear website at the SSD option saying that "PCIe M.2 Solid State Drive delivers next-generation SSD performance bla bla...". So which one the is the mobo support? M.2 Sata SSD or M.2 PCIe SSD?
I want to pick the IPS screen but i worry about the screen blooding issue liao. should i get the normal one or IPS?
well i think of using this laptop for my entire life time because this will be my first laptop (using my own money. lol). for heavy usage i think i will be playing games and do some compiling.

P/S : will this laptop be on promotion in Hari Raya? like free upgrade or free gift? if yes then i just buy at that time meh  thumbup.gif  rclxms.gif
*
Hi kirk,

The Z5 and Z7 only compatible with M.2 SATA SSD. SATA SSD like Crucial MX200 is sufficient for most users.

Only silver color at the moment.

Nope, it's not normal. Initially 95% not charging, then 94% not charging. So, I drained it dry and now 89% not charging, after a restart not charging at 90%.  doh.gif  Anyone got insight how to solve this? battery or adapter got problem? not even half a year tho.

*now always stuck at 91%, battery degradation happens so fast? it's like only 5 months of my Z5's lifespan and I mostly use in weekend only.

Prince J kindly help. Thanks.

Hi celdric,

You may send it back and we will check.

i see. thankyou @Prince J. so how about the promotion? will there be Hari Raya Promotion? im thinking of getting one. if there is then it will be really great for me biggrin.gif

Hi kirk,

We just dropped the price to RM4099, it was RM4699 before.

QUOTE(Faris Azri Aswandi @ May 22 2016, 10:38 AM)
Is it normal for the region where the screen and laptop is connected by hinge (macro mouse and power button area) to get uncomfortably hot?
*
The heatsink is placed underneath the hinge area of course that side is during gaming session. It's not underneath the palm rest like some other gaming laptops.

Hi Felix,

Press F2 when you boot up your Z5.

QUOTE(wonglokat @ May 25 2016, 03:12 PM)
What's the power rating like on the adapter for the z5? Anything more than 130W? Prince J
*
We use 150W for Z5 960M, 180W for Z5 970M.

Normally gaming laptops use 120W for GTX960M and 150W for GTX970M.

Alienware 17 with gtx 970M use 220 W power brick biggrin.gif

I should say laptops with soldered GTX970M, usually slim gaming models.

Laptops like Alienware 17, ILLEGEAR D5/D7 use 220W/230W for GTX970M/980M.

Hey Prince, so my Z5 got automatically updated to Windows 10 and when it rebooted, I realized that the screen color is now a sickening blueish hue.
How do I calibrate the color display to it's original?
*
Hi Monya,

You can use the color profile from the disc and reload the profile to your windows 10.

Hi zzzxtreme,

Z5 and Z7 are using 5200mAh 8-cell battery, battery life is about 5.5 hours at 50% level of brightness and with WIFI on.

They also have Nvidia Optimus technology to switch usage to Intel integrated graphics card.
