Hello,

Just wanted to ask, i bought a Illegear S7, not too long ago. Just under 6 months, and looking to update from normal HDD drives into M.2 SSD.

Can this be done on own? I can just buy the M.2 SSD and open up and plug it in or not possible? I have been trying to find some video on youtube to do this, but was not able to find anything.
Thanks.

Does Illegear provide free / charged service to, for lack a better word, "move" the OS to SSD? Or is it user sdn. bhd.?

Is it possible to upgrade my display to g-sync?
bought s5 without the g-sync (gtx-10series)

Anyone facing heat problem with the d series laptop?
Stress test , play games (long hour)....

i wanna buy S5...but without ssd, m2, and ram coz i oredi have it...can ah?

Nope. With intention to buy 1...

just ordered a d9x from illegear. Currently using Z5 with 970. cant wait for it !!

btw. is there a free cleaning service for illegear laptop. if not mistaken , i was told that i can get 1 free cleaning for my z5 for 1 time.

My reading on discussion elsewhere regarding repasting applies to heat problem due to the use of inferior TP or problems immediately after a self repaste.

ICD doesn't breakdown so soon right? Which is why many suggest to opt for those reputable TPs when laptop is customizable as in the case for Illegear / Clevo ones. Or maybe this applies to D series only? Would be a little troublesome if owners live far away or not in the country.

Thanks PrinceJ. Will consider and decide between the z- and s-series whilst waiting to see if the market has better choices in terms of pricing and after-sales offerings.

Not professional Illegear S5 Review:

The reason why i choose Illegear S5 instead of D5, because of the heat & noise and the portability.

S5 Good:

-can change to Hybrid or Discrete mode, long battery life on Hybrid mode about 4 hours+, silent while normal usage surf net and music play.

-2.5KG weight is still acceptable

-Performance is comparable to my rig. I7 2700K + GTX 970, enough for video editing and max ultra setting to all 1080p game.

-low heat and acceptable noise level while gaming

S5 Bad:

-No TB3
-no future upgrade GPU & CPU
-Speaker no woofer(but sound quality is good, i am not audiophile)

Design and features:

Quite satisfied with the build quality, one word "solid". only the LCD got backlight leak issue. but not a big issue while gaming and normal office work.

Heat And Noise level:

I am quite sensitive at noise & temperature, overall is acceptable. that's why my desktop use Noctua cpu heatsink and GPU use Artic Extreme iv.

the noise during full load is noticeable, but is not annoying and is not like vacuum motor sound, while gaming totally cannot hear.

Temperature

GPU - Idle:43, full load:75max(77-79c while overclock)
CPU - Idle:41, Full load (4cores, 3.1-3.3Ghz): 70c (may be my prime95 problem, is a bit low)

Benchmark
the benchmark is about the same to the official review. http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/review-ille...able-powerhouse

My Slightly OC result, no adjust voltage, just purely increase the core clock and memory to 200Mhz using control centre.

The GPU temperature is maintain at 74c Max on this OC result. I changed back to default, since all my apps and games can run smoothly without the need of additional power.

I bought D9x with 17.3" 3K QHD Anti-glare 120Hz with sRGB 100% Color & Wide View (2560x1440)(G-Sync)
but i dont see the setting to turn it on ?
and brightness adjustment doenst seems to be working..tried with function key and under display setting..no effect or what so ever..

I guess, you haven't install the Nvidia driver, and G-Sync can be turn on in the Nvidia control panel & also install the Control Center to control the Fan, brightness and keyboard backlight profile.

Z5 harddisk is sata and m.2?

msata wont work? is there a space around m.2 for me to install msata with adapter?

btw if i choose not to take harddisk from the website, how do u provide the windows? if i have my own windows the price can be deduct further?

Is this Z5 battery is removable? And can you give us the battery run time? Really interested in it, since it support optimus.. currently doesn't see many laptop with 1060 and above series that supports optimus

how about s5? is the battery removeable?

been using rs 15 for more than 3 years already
really excellent i must say
now itching for d7x
have cristmas promotion?

Hello PrinceJ,

Seems my D5 Haswell have another major problem. Right now my display turn into white after using its for some period (2 or 3 hours) .
It turn back to normal for some time (after restart) and turn back into the same problem. Other than that, my system were doing fine.
Have to depend to my extension monitor for now.
