Received my D9X yesterday afternoon. Went back and turned on the machine. Did some setting such as switching the pagefile to D:\ Windows app storage to D:\ and the machine kept on crashing like nobody business.
However, after an intensive troubleshooting, I was able to isolate the problem to Windows app storage. Once switch to D:\ the whole machine became unstable. After reverting back to c:\ everything go back to normal now.
Prince, any idea why this happened? My existing RX-17 has never encounter this problem even by switch the storage to d:\.

After reverting back the storage to c:\ again. Manage to capture some benchmark with Futuremark Fire Extreme1.1.


And Cloud gate comparing with my existing RX-17 GTX970M SLI


And managed to try out Fallout4 in ultra. While my RX-17 running with a pair of GTX970M struggles with high setting, this machine with a pair of GTX1070 SLI burn thru. the game like hot knife thru. butter. Super silky smooth.

Overall, happy with the purchase.

Nope. I am happy with my unit now. I can live with not able to switch the windows storage to d:\. Worse case I can just upgrade my c:\ to 1T ssd no issue for me.
I am on Anniversary edition now and its rock solid. I won't risk breaking it again. Beside, I purchased a lot of XBox play anywhere games which needs Win10 Anniversary Edition as a basic requirement.

Thanks.

I ordered an S5 from the website but there is no stock at the moment. I received an estimate that the stock will arrive next week. Do you have an exact date on when the stock will be coming in?

Will it be possible to get the laptop before next friday if the stock arrives as estimated?

Or is there additional lead time required that might delay receiving it?

Prince J received any complaints or encountered any warranty claim regarding the hinge on any Illegear (or whatever base it's based on) models?

The Q/S models are in my shortlist of Pascal laptops so would love to know from you or any users here.

just wondering are planning to bring display panels that are 120hz?

and if u do, is the current series can be upgraded?

is there any plans on producing z5s wth Nvidia 10 series? my brother is considering buying from illegear too

Hmm, any idea how to switch off the keyboard LED for S5?

Temp hovering around 85-90C. But so far ok, not having any instabilities. Never go over 90c even after few hours of
Gaming
Ur not really using the full power of the gtx1070 if around that temp.

GPU temp i think..based on the overwatch's performance stat

Mind if I ask about the price range ? And when will the next promotion coming ?

hi based on the HWmonitor..

the GPU Max Temp was 90C..

CPU temp 100C..huhu

Just received my S5 today. I'll get a review up once I've had some fun with it.

Question, does anyone know how to stop the battery from charging over a certain percentage?

Ok here goes. Note that I am not a hardcore gamer so I don't have the latest games. I am coming from a Lenovo Y50 with a 860M prior to the S5.

First impressions, nice solid build. The laptop itself well built, very sturdy. To the earlier person asking about hinges, I can say the hinges of the S5 is rock solid. There is barely any movement when you open and close the laptop but I have to point out that the monitor is a little flimsy to the touch but it is of no concern. It is still a lot better than most laptops I have used. (Dell/Lenovo enterprise laptops, Asus ROG, Y50, Y700).

The specs I took comes with the 1060 (6GB). You can check the Illegear site for the rest of the specs as this is the main point of the laptop. The 1060 is very powerful for 1080p gaming. I've tried this on Doom, Tomb Raider 2013, Metro 2033 and Tales of Zesteria. It doesn't break a sweat hitting 60 FPS at Ultra settings. For some of the games here, I can crank it to the max  and it still runs at 60FPS. If 4k or multiple displays are not your concern, a 1060 is more than enough to power your games.

Physically there is not much to complain about the laptop's design. The keyboard keys are pretty big and it is very comfortable to type with and the trackpad is top class but some might feel that it is a little rough to the touch. I got used to the input devices in less than 15 mins compared to my Y50 which I could never get used to the touchpad after 2 years. Big touchpad buttons are a plus but it never gets in the way despite the size. Palm rests are suitably large but I wished they put the stickers on the right side of the laptop instead. FPS players might accidentally peel it off after prolonged used of the WSAD keys.

The screen is freaking fantastic. I am not sure if it is because I took it with the professional color calibration but holy damn hell. I've not seen a laptop screen with such vibrant colors as of yet.

Some gripes I have:
1. The speakers don't complement the Soundblaster X-Fi. Holy shit the sound is so awesome with headphones but on the speakers a lot of the quality are lost. I can't say the speakers are terrible but neither are they really good. Its about average to me. A plus for the speakers though, it is really loud when cranked up to the max. It beat the Y50 that comes with a subwoofer. I thought Y50 was loud, the S5 tramples all over it like it was never there.

2. When gaming, the fans are really loud. Without earphones I can hear the sound of the fans spinning at top speed but strangely the temperature was never over 60 degrees celcius for the processors and around 60 for the GPU. I don't think the temperature is really high yet at that point but then again, maybe the fans are working hard to keep the temperature down.

3. When I change it to discrete GPU, the laptop suffers from micro stutters. I tried many games, all faced the same problem. 60 FPS constantly but micro stuttering every 5 secs or so. It is really annoying.When I switch it back to MSHybrid, it works perfectly. I tried switching a few times, upgraded and downgraded the drivers (clean install) and it never made a difference. I can't pin down whats the problem with it but it happens only during discrete GPU. Not a major problem for me though, I just switched it to MSHybrid. I just hope MSHybrid is not as stupid as Optimus.

4. LAN port is on the right side. This might be just me but the LAN port is on the right of the laptop. I also plug in an Xbone controller on the right. It limits the space for the mouse. Nothing major but becomes a small nuisance when typing and using the mouse at the same time.

5. So maaaaaany screws for the maintenance hatch.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase despite the numerous complains I have.The major winning point for me was how quickly I felt accustomed to the laptop. Very nice design with lots of typing space. Oh did I mention it has a numpad? Awesome stuff. Another major point for me is the WiFi card it comes with. The intel 8260 has very good range. My router is one floor below and I had some issues with my Y50 getting full signal. It gets stuck at around 1 or 2 bars. The S5 easily maxes it out. I'd say there is a distance of about 10 meters with a thick floor between it.

I'd give this laptop a 8/10. Easily recommended for anyone looking for a good 1080p gaming and working laptop. The minimalist design makes it look professional too.

PS. I am not sure whats with the temperature. I tried running all kinds of things that should have shot up the temps but it never goes above 60. Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

Yeah, thanks for the BIOS battery tip. I also found out what is causing the stuttering. It wasn't anything to do with the drivers or Nvidia settings.

It was caused by Google Chrome. My Google Chrome opens about 60 tabs . There are a handful of these tabs, mainly to manga sites that have those stupid ads loading at the back non-stop causing the CPU usage to shoot up to around 30%. Once I closed them, the problem went away.

HWM messed up the pricing for the spec they published. Any info on the colour accuracy of the default FHD screen (or make / model of the LCD)?

Optimus doesn't work on G-sync panels but a few threads before Prince J mentioned about the ability to switch between discrete and the native graphics. I take it to mean all three screen options.

So.. My Note 7 is being recalled permanently and I am getting a refund. Since my laptop has been dying for a while. I currently have a budget of 4k. Just slowly saving up now for a laptop. Looking for at least a 10 series one.

Hi so sorry do you have a link to the S5? I can't find it.

What are the differences between S5 and Z5?

hi. curious to ask;

for P150SM-A (RS-15, discontinued). How much would you charge for a brand new GTX1070 ? (i don't think a GTX1080 can fit in there)
do I have to trade in my old card? (980M)

It's just a BIOS setting.

When you power on or reboot your laptop, press and hold F2 on the keyboard to load in to the BIOS.

In the BIOS, go to Advance Chipset Management > Flexicharge.

Enable it then there will be additional options to select the start charge level and stop charge level.

Though I can't say if all Illegear BIOS has this feature. This is my first Illegear laptop.

Prince J might be able to clarify.
