Good to hear that. Just took the plunge on one over the weekend

just collected my Z5 this morning.. wow.. that power adaptor weights a ton..

sorry noob question.. there's a function key to disable the trackpad light right? the red color on the pad... the girl at illegear show me this morning. forgot which one is the key

ah.... thank u thank u

i encountered a weird problem.. when i plug in an external HDD to the usb3 port on the left side, the laptop detects it. When i start transferring file, it will run for a few seconds and then stopped. The HDD will then behave like it was ejected and then put back in. Meaning it will pop a new explorer windows everytime.

Using the same HDD at the 2 usb3 port on the right side has no issue. It detects and transfers file normally..

If it can't detect from the get go, then i can understand the logic bout the different length or depth of the physical port or cable head.

But in my case, it detects fine, explorer pop out fine, but once files transfer start, it go from 30 over mbs to zero in seconds, then stopped responding.



after a bit, you can hear the system sound as it disconnect and re detect the HDD

using that same HDD + cable on the right side port or on my desktop, no issue.

No worries guys.. Illegear staff also contacted me to investigate. Kudos for the great follow up.. Currently on overseas assignment so will try using different combination of external HDD + cable once I come back.

So far the Z5 is working well. Whack through more than 20gb of RAW files and video rendering with ease

I feel u bro

Is there any smaller and lighter power adapter for the Z5?

I am carrying 2 DSLR, 2 flash, 3 to 4 lenses everytime I go out for shoot... trying to cut down on the weight

feel the same for the spacebar.. now always make typing mistake coz of the space bar

i can't carry the z5 + another external keyboard around..
well on the bright side, my email now have almost no mistake coz i always re-read it few times
