Hello. May i know how is the battery life for the U3? Can it last for 8 hours or more?
*
Hello smile.gif It can last around 7-8 hours upon normal surfing based on our testing, but some users reported that the battery lasted beyond 8 hours too. Depends on each user's usage actually, but the long lasting battery life is contributed because of the absence of the discrete GPU, kindly note.

hello illegear, if I place my order now and selected the rush service, is it possible for me to collect it tomorrow morning?

also, do you guys accept credit card?

Hello cocobunana, order might be ready for collection after 2pm onwards tomorrow since we will need some time to perform the stress testing.

Yes, we do accept credit cards for the payment method.

I meant an estimate on how long it would last for normal use smile.gif eg 5 hours for web browsing?
*
The S5X is equipped with a 4-cell battery and for the battery lifetime, approximately around 3 hours for normal surfing. Depends on your usage/backround applications running/brightness level too.

The usage is definitely shorter on battery compared to Raven (60Wh with Optimus) and Laguna (86Wh without Optimus).

can raven's cpu be changed after assembly? there is no thermal paste option for raven ?
*
Hi Eterman, kindly note that the CPU and GPU of RAVEN are not upgradable after purchase since both components are soldered onto the motherboard. An upgrade is only possible by a complete motherboard replacement, kindly note.

We decided not to offer the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut since the performance of the stock thermal paste is comparable to Kryonaut's actually smile.gif The thermal paste of RAVEN can be changed to Kryonaut's though after ~1.5 years of usage, should overheating issues arise later.

The review is not details enough and i think most of the consumer will prefer to read something like below :

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Guru-Mars-K-C...w.258238.0.html 

or

https://forum.obsidian-pc.com/discussion/21...ries-rp6-g-rs-g

The review should include:
chassis quality
Pointing Device quality
Weight
Display quality
Keyboard
Connectivity (Bluetooth, Wireless, TB3..etc)
Battery Life
Games & Application Performance (Prime95, 3D Marks)
Temperature (Idle and Max)
Noise db level
Audio Performance

All the laptops will have pro and cons. If possible we wish to see all the illegear laptop in more details review and provided by illegear yourself. 

Furthermore, we would like to have the drivers download page, like Software driver,  utilities, and Bios update, instead of we request manually.
*
Thank you very much for the feedback given smile.gif We will try our best to provide more comprehensive reviews for our laptops soon. Regarding the utilities, we are indeed in the process of revamping the official website and the drivers download page will be available soon~

Bought a barely used Raven from a forumer here. Intel i5 with GTX1050. The mechanical keyboard is really a pleasure for touch typist. This is not an issue for me (I'm used to Kailh Blue switch that's heavy AF) but I noticed some keys have different clicky sound and different weight to others. Do note that the top row keyboard buttons are the normal membrane type. RGB keyboard is nice to have too. But the backlighting on the top row number key only backlit the symbols and not the numerals. I find this annoying.
Touchpad is good and and the surface is matte. Multi finger gesture works well.

My use case is as a desktop replacement for office works, I needed the high clocks of intel HQ series CPU. I appreciate the rear position Kensington Lock port as it keep the side of my laptop completely clear. This Raven also comes with tons of USB port (6 USB + 1 type C). 2 USB port at the back and again, keep the side of the laptop completely clear of obstruction.

If we could turn off the Red light accent on top of the keyboards, this will be a perfect business laptop.

During idle or normal office work load, the fan noise is not noticable.
Gaming wise, from my limited testing, I can say the thermals are excellent! There's two fan, and the CPU and GPU cooling are completely separate from each other. But the fans can get very loud during heavy load, but I do accept that as a price to pay for the excellent thermals. The heat exhaust to the back away from the user.

Upgrading RAM and SSD are super easy. Just 4 screws and slide out the bottom half cover, zero prying needed. I swapped the 1tb hdd to my own 480gb SSD and it's very snappy. No stupid "Warranty Void if Sticker Removed" warnings also. I guess Illegear understand this is enthusiast level laptop and trust users who will upgrade them.

Battery life is around 2.5-3.5 hours. Not Dell 7567 level but this laptop also lighter. You want to keep it plugged in anyway to keep clocks speed high.

Overall build quality is good. The design is really beautiful, pictures on the brochure doesnt do it justice. IPS Screen is decent.

The built in speakers are mediocre but usable. I do appreciate that this Raven come with separate Headphone and Mic jack, many newer laptops use combo port.

The power brick is quality stuff from FSP, power connector is also standard type which make replacement easy to find.

I just had one small issue with the left cooling fan making noise like the fan blades are hitting something but that noise is somehow gone now so all is good. I'm sure fan replacement is easy as well if required.

Between HP Omen 15, Acer Nitro 5, Lenovo Y520. Why not consider Illegear Raven? I'm very picky and critical yet I'm happy with this laptop  notworthy.gif

Hi Marvin, is it possible to drop us an email at support@illegear.com? The warranty might still belong to the original purchaser and we will guide you regarding the Ownership Transfer Application accordingly.

how well is the cooling system coping with, say 1060 and 7700hq? i read that other systems with these 2 same components often have throttling and some even has the CPU reaching 90 celcius. What is the color gamut of the standard screen? How many keys are supported for its antighosting capability?
*
Hi Eterman,

For RAVEN configured with i7-7700HQ + GTX1060, the idle temperature levels for the CPU and GPU are 49°C and 34°C respectively. Under maximum load, the temperature levels recorded for the CPU and GPU are 79°C and 64°C respectively:

user posted image

Kindly be advised that the temperature levels were recorded with the Intel TurboBoost enabled and the temperature can be further reduced with the TurboBoost disabled. We also have performed multiple benchmark applications (Cinebench, Superposition, 3DMark, Unigine & FurMark) to stress test the machine into its full potential.

For the default IPS screen, the color coverage is 100% for sRGB and 99% for AdobeRGB. As for the number of keys supported (for anti-ghosting), you can register up to 9 keys smile.gif

Perhaps a reinstallation of the Control Center is necessary for your laptop. May I know the laptop model as well as the CPU model?

is this the serial number? ILG8502714L

Hi Eterman, sorry for missing out your post. As per checking, the pre-installed MyApp Control Center on the Raven is the latest version available. Regarding the audible fan noise, you can decrease the speed of the fan either by operating the laptop in an air-conditioned room or by equipping a slanted cooling pad underneath the laptop to decrease its temperature.

We shall update this thread later with the Unigine Heaven benchmark score for Raven with GTX 1060, stay tuned smile.gif

Hi Dracophisto,

Thank you for your feedback. We will take your feedback into consideration. But currently, Laguna is not G-Sync certified.

Hi, what's the best budget option I can get? Less than 5k.. Raven?

Hi FaezFarhan.

For Raven, the starting price is RM4,099.00. You can customize it further to include better specs and the price will be reflected automatically on the website.
http://store.illegear.com/entry-gaming-lap...gear-raven.html

You may also consider Laguna which is starting from RM5,099.00. You may deduct some of the options such as Windows, etc OR re-use the components from your existing laptop to adjust the pricing later. Kindly customize your specs further at http://store.illegear.com/enthusiast-gamin...ear-laguna.html

Main difference between the Raven & the Laguna? & the offer ends tonight?
*
The core differences between the RAVEN and LAGUNA are:

Form factor: LAGUNA has an overall aluminum finish whereas RAVEN is solid plastic. The build quality of LAGUNA is sturdier too and much more solid, but it is heavier at 2.7kg compared to RAVEN at 2.2kg.

Thermal management: LAGUNA fans are quieter compared to RAVEN at maximum load and the the heat ventilation is also much better because of the quad heatpipes installed. But RAVEN does not experience from overheating though under maximum load.

Keyboard: RAVEN comes with a mechanical keyboard with per-key customizable RGB coloring. LAGUNA has a trizone programmable RGB keyboard (not per-key) but the touchpad and the power button is color customizable too.

Speakers: LAGUNA is able to produce a stronger audio output in terms of volume, clarity and bass compared to RAVEN. A non-factor if you're planning to use headphones most of the time.

Basically, Laguna has better cooling, battery and built quality (Aluminium) and Raven features its mechanical keyboard, lighter in weight and is cheaper.

For the Back To School promotion, the offer will be ending on 11:59pm tonight smile.gif

For RAVEN, only the IPS panel is available (default) for the screen selection. For LAGUNA, we will feature a 120Hz IPS display panel for the laptop and it will be in stock ETA by 1 to 2 weeks' time smile.gif

The LAGUNA with 120Hz IPS display is now available for pre-order at http://store.illegear.com/enthusiast-gamin...ear-laguna.html

Hi there ,

For D7 coffeelake, is the GPU using desktop class and upgradable after purchase ?
Also can we upgrade our CPU, memory  after purchase ?
*
Hi bananajoe

For D7 Coffeelake, it is using an MXM graphics card and because of its modularity (plug and play), it can be upgradable after purchase. More information regarding this technology can be found here

The CPU for D7 is using the normal desktop CPU, so it is also plug and play and upgradable after purchase. For our laptops, the RAM, HDD, SSD, SSHD, wireless card, warranty duration as well as display panel for selected models can be upgraded in the future after purchase smile.gif
