RAVEN Product Video

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

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.

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 The thermal paste of RAVEN can be changed to Kryonaut's though after ~1.5 years of usage, should overheating issues arise later.

Thank you very much for the feedback given 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~

Hi Illegear ! Sorry if this seems out of topic. I need a quick consultation and in dire need of it.

The question is,

Do you guys ever face the problem of copy ori ? I mean, when someone or some company ever try to pick on you guys and they copied your products and sell them to people. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME !!

What are you trying to do

Referring to this comment, does this mean it is possible to bring the laptop back to you for an upgrade, assuming I am willing to pay for the whole motherboard change so I can get a higher spec in future?

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

So why the forumer sell it so fast just not long after he bought it, any valid reasoning behind?

No idea, didnt bother to ask. Saw his WTS thread and straight paid his asking price. Laptop is fine and for the price I got it for, super happy with it

is it an upgrade if were to change from 970m Z5 to 1050ti raven?

I have an older Q3 i7-4710mq. Currently running a single ddr3 8gb PC3-12800.
Can i add another stick to this lappie?

GPU wise, not really. They're both on par.

aite, means can keep for another year

970m still can play latest game

true that !
