So far only D series were using MxM card.
The rest is soldered to the mobo.

So if you plan to upgrade ur GPU in the future, get urself a D series

Yes you can. If you use i5 6400 proc right now, you can upgrade later to I7 6700 proc since they use Intel Socket 1151 (Intel Gen 6 proc) in D series.
Same goes like mobo which use in PC.
Unless the Intel screw up by releasing new proc with new socket for the mobo. dry.gif

BTW I'm using Illegear D7 series biggrin.gif

If you go for graphic performance, you can easily set your game with high/ultra preset game setting in 2k reso (1980x1080) with GTX1070 or GTX1080. Im using GTX1080 in my D7, so you can said that the performance is outstanding.
But here some my POV if you decided which GPU you wanna choose:
- GTX 1080 can run the game in high/ ultra preset even 4k reso; but not many game use 4K reso; just stick to mainstream 2K reso. So, GTX1070 or GTX1060 should be fine.
- If your budget tight or just go for the mainstream game such as CS:GO or Dota2; GTX1060 or GTX1070 or those GTX9xx series (maxwell) is more than enough, depend on your teacup. Google them for better comparison between those GPU. GTX 1080 price also like a bomb. sweat.gif

You should know that the GPU GTX10xx series is the same GPU that use in PC. That's mean their performance & the price tag almost the same with those GPU that use in PC.
**Heck, even my old D5 Haswell (GTX980M)& Z5 Haswell (GTX970M) runs smoothly with ultra (GTX980M) /high (GTX970M) preset for 2K reso with no sweat. Yes, I bough 2 model from them before**
As for CPU, both i5 & i7 delivery a good performance, it's depend on your taste. Anyway you don't need overclock in your laptop unless you really want to.

If you have extra budget. get urself some extra boost performance on your laptop like SSD & extra RAM (if you running extra task, 16GB is quite enough)
Anyway I don't have any problem regarding the overheat in my D7 & my old D5 &Z5. You can ask them to run test before they delivery to you.
..................................................................................................
As for the Illegear service, if you have any problem regarding with your laptop, just send it to them which is a better option rather than you fixing by yourself.
I can tell that their service was quite good so you don't have to worried about warranty. I got problem with my D5 Maxwell with its power connector, so I send it back for service and around 2 week my D5 return back to me.
(I'm from Sarawak, so 2 weeks is normal for me - time delivery). biggrin.gif

Because my old D5 using the 1st gen of D5 which using Clevo P7xxZM mobo and layout. The GTX10 series MXM more bigger and require more power consumption.
So the new D5 series (Clevo PxxDM or DM-G series)come with different mobo & layout which can support the latest GPU series today. sad.gif

But still my old D5 with GTX980M still handling most of my game with high & ultra settings preset. So, I won't bother so much.

Just ordered 1 D9X with single GTX1080. Hopefully will be able to receive it by this week.
The reason for single GTX1080 is because of the lack of supports from game dev. and company. But I love to keep the option open so that in case if I want to go SLI, the option is still there.

Hi wazzzap,

Citibank, CIMB and Public Bank don't have online installment platforms, you have to walk into our office for processing this installment. Or, you can opt for staff delivery and our staff will bring a terminal for processing.

Not that I wanted both. But the deal offered is nowhere near as good as this holiday promo. You should have extend this deal to me instead of offered another package which consists of only 1 piece of 8GB RAM, Diamond IC and Prof. color calibration. The new promo not only includes the IC diamond and color calibration but also an additional of free Intel SSD and Killer Wifi except the 8GB RAM.

Anyway, have already sorted out with you thru. whatapps. As agreed, I took this new promo + additional RM799 to upgrade my D9X RAM from 8GB to 32GB.

I know it can be a hassle for you if the company didn't convey the promo package to you in advanced.

Not that I wanted both. But the deal offered is nowhere near as good as this holiday promo. You should have extend this deal to me instead of  offered another package which consists of only 1 piece of 8GB RAM, Diamond IC and Prof. color calibration. The new promo not only includes the IC diamond and color calibration but also an additional of free Intel SSD and Killer Wifi except the 8GB RAM.

Anyway, have already sorted out with you thru. whatapps. As agreed, I took this new promo +  additional RM799 to upgrade my D9X RAM from 8GB to 32GB.

I know it can be a hassle for you if the company didn't convey the promo package to you in advanced.

I know. I have a friend in IT business. But I prefer to get thing done straight away then have to dismantle and put the RAM in myself. Avoiding any hassle so to say.

Hi,

I have a S5 and have a problem where if I play games with the keyboard , the W key will be registered even when I'm not holding the key.

for example , I will still go forward in CS:GO even if I'm not pressing W. I remembered another user in the previous thread having this issue, may I know how to resolve this?

Thanks.

Got my S5 this evening..

this thing is heavy, this is my first gaming laptop anyways.

build quality quite good, and for experience technical person, quite easy to add additional ssd, manage to put my 1Tb SSD in this baby with no problem.

love the audio output thru headphone.. very clear and can play my hi-res audio nicely, need to disable SB xFi though,

the speaker on the laptop is tad disappointing, my macbook 12 speaker sounds 10X better..

Gaming, with gtx1070..its quite good and at times better than my current desktop using AMD Fury X..

trying to connect to my 144hz monitor but i think my mini-DP to DP cable is broken, gonna buy a new cable to test whether i can game at 1440p 144hz.. tongue.gif

i think the look wise is the same as the old one..

after 3 days fully utilising the laptop, i can say this is one powerful laptop for the price..

manage to overclock the gpu by extra 150mhz and stable.. highest was 180mhz..but it was generating alot of heat fast.. so tone it down to 150mhz..which i think is the sweet spot for stability and thermal ...

Hi wazzzap,

I think we showed some customers a S5 with Nvidia Pascal GPU without OS.

Sorry we didn't have time yet to complete the demo, will finish it once we clear all the backlogs.

As for the IPS display and structure fram, it looks pretty much the same as the old S5.

dont think its the old one... i just bought like 3 days ago.. GTX 1070 GC

it has a built in software ..quite simple to use..

can specify u want to use optimus (intel + gtx1070 switching) or direct use GTX1070 directly..

use gtx1070 will drain battery quicker though..

Hey Prince J, was that you dealing with me just now in whatsapp? Thanks for making thing clear for me on pricing issue. It was my bad due to Monday blue and so eagerly waiting for the machine.
By the way, changing from single GTX1080 to GTX1070 SLI shouldn't posts any stability issue for P870DM3-G board right?
Hopefully you can expedite the unit for me.

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 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.

Motherboard might not be compatible for existing users, but we will advise if it's posisble.

ah ok..thanks for the info..

so used to 144hz panel, gaming at 60hz can feel the difference..

btw manage to get around 100-120fps on overwatch using my 144hz 1440p panel.. epic settings with shadow at medium level..100% resolution scaling

@chtan

Congratz on your purchase btw mind sharing your pc specs?

A few post ago you said you were going for a single 1080 thoughts on why you decided to switch to 1070 sli?

Im getting myself either D7X or D9X too not sure if I should wait for Kabylake first.

Edit: typo
*
Yap, originally I have ordered a single GTX1080 solution on D9X. However was told by Prince J that the system became unstable with 1 GPU and need to wait for another GPU with different ID to come in which will take another week or so. I hate waiting and that is why I decided to switch to GTX1070 SLI. The second reason is running single GPU in SLI enable board might lead to instability.
Anyway, I am happy with my decision. This machine is a monster. Tested with DeusEx Human divided. My old RX17 with a pair of GTX970Ms can't even hold the high setting consistently with some setting off while this monster is able to burn thru. it with Ultra, everything on. Min42 while Max at 64fps. This is a really impressive fps.
Also tested with Dumbuster's Homefront revolution with CryEngine 3. This machine able to run on it's highest setting with no hesitation at all. Silky smooth. On my old RX17, I have to run this game with medium and have to disable a few selection to get the game on acceptable fps.
If you have the budget to spare, I would recommend you to go for SLI.

Here is my spec.
17.3" Full HD Anti-glare Display featuring 120Hz Refresh Rate (1920 x 1080)
Professional Color Calibration
Intel Core i7-6700 DT processor
2 x Nvidia GTX1070 8GB DDR5 Pascal
IC Diamond Thermal Compound
Crucial 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 RAM 2133MHz - 4 X 8GB
1TB 7200rpm Hitachi Hard Drive
120GB Intel 540 M.2 SATA Solid State Drive
Killer Wireless AC 1535 M.2
Win10 Home 64bit
ILLEGEAR 2 Year Carry-In Warranty

And here are some of my benchmark:

Time spy:
New rig with a pair of GTX1070 manage a score of 8446 ( http://www.3dmark.com/spy/520185 )
My old rig with GTX 970M only manage 4272 ( http://www.3dmark.com/spy/34254)

Fire Strike Extreme:
12938 on new D9X ( http://www.3dmark.com/fs/10318196 ) while on my old rig is only manage to chuck out 10802 in normal, non-extreme test ( http://www.3dmark.com/fs/6189391 ).

Cloud gate:
27538 on my new D9X ( http://www.3dmark.com/cg/3802140 ) while RX17 manage to pull out 23540 ( http://www.3dmark.com/cg/3100725 ) which is not bad. This test do not scale very well with SLI i think.

Did you check the temperature? I running at low setting with 1070 and has around 50-60 temp. Scared that high temp will damage the hardware.

I think you don't have to worry about that. There has been a lot of debate regarding how temperature affects hardware for laptops and desktops, or typically any kind of electronics.

The laptop's hardware is intelligent enough to shut off the device when it reaches a critical temperature limit. Some devices will throttle itself in an attempt to reduce the temperature. 50-60 Celsius is pretty much standard for a laptop and you're gaming at that temperature too. Sounds pretty good to me even if you're running it on low settings. Try maxing out the settings to push your laptop to the limits and see where it stabilizes. I bet its around the 70s to 80s.

You should only worry that your laptop does not shut down despite hitting critical temperatures of 100 degrees. Also it is good practice to have decent airflow beneath the laptop whenever possible. You're using the S5 right? You can check a review with some thermal notes at this link:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Schenker-XMG-...w.172321.0.html

The XMG P507 is the same as the 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.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The only thing that is holding me back from buying right now is probably the uncertain future of SLI.

I did some research on SLI saw the video on Linustechtips about it and how Nvidia is pushing the responsibility to game developers to support SLI and how he makes it sound like its not a good sign but goes on to say that Nvidia is reducing support for 3-4 way sli and focusing more on 2 way than again that is contradicting what they just said by pushing responsibility to game developers instead.

Also went to Nvidia reddit filter stuff with SLI and almost everyone is recommending to just go for the single biggest/fastest gpu you can afford. Notebook reviews forums more or less have people saying how they wish they opted for a single card rather than 2.

I have personally never had SLI or even tried it before I think in the end I just wanna know how was your experience with SLI?

Do you get heat problems? Bottlenecks? Micro stuttering?

Your input is greatly appreciated :-)

Heat is definitely not an issue for this machine. Never see the temperature go above 70C for CPU and the GPU hit the max is 82C (when running Dumbuster's Homefront for about 20min on the highest setting). Dumbuster's Homefront is really a system resource guzzler which incidentally running on CryEngine3 and it is a very beautiful game. This is the only game that turn the system fan up a notch so far beside futuremark benching.
I have tested it with Batman Arkham Knight, GTA V, Doom, TitanQuest Anniversary Edition(crunching this game now), DeusEx Human Divided. None of this post a challenge to this machine. It just burn right thru. them with ease. Never encountered any micro stutter or throttling at all. I don't think there are any game will make this machine struggle yet as of now or maybe I am just gaming in 1080p. Twin GTX10170 are just overkill on the resolution that I play. I have pre-ordered Gear 4 Ultimate edition from MS Store, let wait and see how this machine perform on this new DirectX12 title. Heat is never an issue for this machine.

Sound is also very good compare to my old RX17. Very solid and vibrant with depth.

I will try again tonight with DirectX12 game such as Forza Horizon 3 (just finished downloading last night), Gear of War Ultimate Edition, Recore and the dreaded Quantum Break from MS store. Will update here again later.

And lastly, I have to agree with your concern in SLI supports. Almost all the game being release without SLI support. They normal came a bit later with nvidia driver update. Once the game being supported, they fly. There are always a alternate solution to title which didn't support SLI. You can use the Nvidia Inspector to tailor you own SLI support or download the profile from fan's forum.

Have been using SLI since RX17, I am very confident that SLI are here to stay. Especially when people want to push 4K now. Single card barely cut it.

based when i test using HWMonitor app, the Overwatch temp display matches the GPU temp on HWMonitor..

another reason i think my laptop was having 90 GPU & 100 CPU temp was of my laptop placement.. i put the laptop on top of the velvet cover given, when i elevated the laptop abit, more clearing on the bottom, the temp reduced to 78-85 for the GPU and 86-90 for the CPU..

will try to source a laptop cooler and see whether it makes any more difference in temp..

The reason is because my son's 4yrs+ Alienware M17xR4 starts to give problem now and he is hogging my RX17 for Overwatch. I have no choice but to get another machine for myself.

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.

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.

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?

Hi Chachazero,

It can be done in BIOS, press F2 to access BIOS -> Advance Chipset Control.

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.

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 sweat.gif . 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.

Glad the stuttering issue was sorted out smile.gif

You may enable gsync with discrete GPU in Nvidia Control Panel.

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.

No, the default screen doesn't have Gsync feature, it's just a normal Full HD Anti-glare display.

Nvidia only authorize LG and Samsung for Gsync, so all the Gsync display are either LG (IPS) or Samsung (PLS) panels.

It should be fine to keep the laptop fully charged. Technically Li-ion batteries do not have the problem of overcharging and modern batteries have chips built in them to stop charging once it reaches a certain threshold.

That said, based on my experience with Li-ion battery power laptops like Lenovo Y50-70, T410 to T460 series, I do notice a pretty bad level of degradation of the batteries when they are left plugged in. For those said laptops, the default charge level starts at 97 and stops at 100. Batteries, no matter how little you use them will always discharge a little bit. What I've noticed with them is that after 1 year (usually when the warranty ends) the batteries have already gone bad and can hold less than half their capacity.

My Y50 was capped to stop charging at 60 and start charging at 50. I do the same to my work laptop, a T440 which is approaching its third birthday. What I've noticed is that their battery wear is only around 3% after 2-3 years of constantly plugged in.

If you're worried, there is a BIOS setting in the Illegear laptop that allows Flexicharge, which caps the charge at a fixed percentage. Mine is set to start at 50 and stop at 60. Call me old fashioned but experience has taught me to not take it for granted.

The reported wear is encouraging but was that after periodic recalibration of the battery?

Yup. I recalibrate my personal laptop once every few months. I just sold my Y50 about 3 weeks ago. I did one final recalibration before I passed it to the buyer. The numbers were consistent.

For my work laptop, I have not done it since forever. Not too concerned about it either.

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.

S5 is our premium series with full body aluminium case, GTX 1070 and 4K display options. It has 4 ram slots, 2x SATA slots, 2x M.2 slots, triple cooling fan, RGB keyboard and Gsync.

Z5 is our affordable gaming series with better performance/price ratio.

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)

Hi hyperyouth,

We don't think it's possible, the card itself cannot fit into the RS series as they are larger than the GTX980M.

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.

ILLEGEAR D7X is reviewed by PC.COM and received a Platinum award (9.2/10)!

"Illegear doesn’t mess around when it comes to its high-end, high-performance gaming laptops. Weighing in at 3.9kg, the D7X is heavier than it looks but purs like a kitten the moment you turn it on. It’s insanely quick start up and shut down is due to the usage of the 256GB SSD paired with the latest Intel Core i7-6700 processor. The D7X also comes with four DDR4 RAM slots, totaling to 64GB, allowing for greater multitasking capabilities without even breaking a sweat.

Running at the core of the D7X lies the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card, the best graphics card money can buy in today’s current market. If you were ever worried about running your graphic-heavy games on the most basic or minimal settings in order for the game to run smoothly without any drop in frame rates, your worries will be diminished with the D7X. Lifelike gameplay and motion on the D7X brings about greater and truer levels of realism like never before."

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.

Hi Madgeiser, it's possible as long as you don't break anything it's fine.

OS migration from a drive to another is possible, but we suggest you to do that when 2 drives have identical capacity.

If capacity are different, it would be better if you backup your important data then reinstall OS into the SSD.

Hi clnvi,

You can upgrade your display to IPS/AHVA display later but you cannot upgrade it to G-sync.

D series has the best cooling and thermal control among all other ILLEGEAR series.

You still need to clean the dust every 6 months and reapply thermal paste every year.

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 shocking.gif (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.

Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0
Attached Image

Time Spy

Fire Strike

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 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.

Hi alexdino,

Z5 won't work with MSATA SSD, only M.2 PCIE/SATA SSD. Z5 has 1x SATA slot and 1x M.2 slot.

We will provide Windows in COA form, you can activate after installing the windows.

Hi imin,

Z5 and Z7 battery is removable but you need screwdriver to unscrew the bottom cover first. It's not hard to do that.

Hi Wazzzap,

Can you pm me with the photos of the jack that you plug in? (with noise and without noise). If possible, we would like to test your headset and the computer.

Hi Prince J, attached is the picture of the jacks that i used for the headphones

the left side (the jack with red light) is the one with noise and the right side is the normal one.

i think i will go back home and try to use different headphones to confirm on the problem. will get back to you on this.

Thank you very much.

i didn't plug in the wrong one. there are 3 jacks. left is headphones, middle is microphone, the right side is like a speaker logo if i am not mistaken.

both left and right did produce sound for me. just that the jack with headphone logo have some minor buzzing sound but if you on loud music you wouldnt hear it

i didn't plug in the wrong one. there are 3 jacks. left is headphones, middle is microphone, the right side is like a speaker logo if i am not mistaken.

both left and right did produce sound for me. just that the jack with headphone logo have some minor buzzing sound but if you on loud music you wouldnt hear it

If I remember correctly, we always plug into the right in-jack, not the left one with red light. What's your S5 edition? I will check with my tech.

Hi wingwp,

For D series, it can upgrade RAM, HDD, SSD, WLAN card and screen in future. CPU and GPU have chances to upgrade as well (depends on future gen. GPU and CPU compatibility).

For other series, only RAM, HDD, SSD and WLAN can be upgraded.

We never tried that, because it's a very new display option, not sure if it can be swapped. Will update if it's possible.

If not mistaken the 120Hz lcd panel is TN screen, i got a lot of feedback of the color accuracy is worse compare to the 60hz IPS panel.

Nice! rclxms.gif I plan to get s5 by mid year. One question though; lets say if I buy s5 with ips 60hz g-sync panel, will I be able to upgrade to the 120 hz ips g-sync panel later? Or I have to purchase the laptop directly with the 120hz panel though??

I guess the cable change means extra cost involve in the panel upgrade process?

The total cost for the panel upgrade will not be an issue since I can always save up enough budget, as long as the the approximate cost is mentioned before hand... tongue.gif

I've been using the S5 for about 6 months now. Just to give you an idea of what you're asking but before that, I am using the 1060 version.

All I can say about the cooling is that it works very well. I got mine with the Diamond Thermal Compound which was free due to some promotion. I play games like Rise of the Tomb Raider at max settings for everything, the temperature peaks at around 68 to 72 Celsius, which I think is pretty good when compared to a Lenovo Y50 I used to have. That peaked at around 95 for the same game.

Another example, Overwatch, Tera and Titanfall 2 peaks around 68 to 72. Idle temperature is around 38 to 42. Standard browsing, Youtube, MS Office and other productivity work doesn't affect the temp much so it stays around the same as idle temperature.

Now the noise is something you need to be concerned about if you like gaming in quiet environments. It's pretty loud when they're spinning in AAA games. Not loud enough to distract you if you have the speakers set to high volume or if you put on some headphones. I don't consider this a problem as my volume is always set high as the speakers are top notch.

Can't complain about the performance either. The only game I had performance issues with is Rise of the Tomb Raider when I max out everything. Frame rates drop to around 45 FPS in certain parts of the game(this is just me, 45 FPS is actually very good for gaming). Other games like Titanfall 2 get a constant 70+ FPS and Doom stays above 80 FPS at all portions of the game with everything cranked to the max. Not suitable for 1440p gaming or 4k gaming though you can get away with 1440p gaming if you lower some options. Most options don't really make a difference anyway.

Yes cable need to be changed as well. Cable + labor is around RM50~RM100 i estimate.

70c is quite ok in my books. My only regret from buying this laptop is not going for the 1070 version.

One of our customers said he got good temperature and quiet fan by overclocking the fan using the apps in the machine.

Hi,

Just read the post between z5 and s5. I planned to buy illegear laptop. Currently, I'm looking into z5 and s5 lite. However, z5 has 6gb gtx 1060 in compared to s5 (3gb).

Which will be the best?

I would like to use it for gaming, mapping and editing. Using ArcGIS, Illustrator and other adobe software.

Thanks!

Hi oopet,

Z5 offers better bang for bucks.

S5 offers more expansion slots in terms of ram, HDD, SSD and RGB keyboard.

Hello Prince J,

Does the Power cord/AC Adapter included in warranty?

Because I can hear buzzing sound when connecting the power cord and the ac adapter and if it move a little bit around the the connection, the laptop won't charged.

Nothing to do just ran the OC benchmark during Chinese new year, quite satisfy the OC result. just increase the core & memory clock 200/600, without adjust the power, the temperature maintain at 76c max, i think is the limit.

Hi Illegear, I'm planning to buy the Z7 series sometime in the future. I just wanna know the average temp for heavy gaming (i7 Kaby Lake + GTX 1060 6GB)? The ability to overclock the GPU and will that overclock void the warranty?

Hi TheNutz,

For GTX1060 6GB, it maintains at 65C maximum, we tested Battlefield 1 Ultra settings 12 hours in IT Fair 2016.

For the CPU, we will do a benchmark as well.

Just wanna share my experience. I went to the Illegear office today with the intention of inspecting the demo units for S-series. I'm surprised how nice their customer service is! biggrin.gif Very friendly and they do really seem to be passionate about gaming stuff. thumbup.gif I was even offered special promo and thus, I put my order for a s7 skylake gtx1060. rclxms.gif

So far my impression is very good! Really satisfied with their service. This will be my fourth gaming laptop so far and I have to say Illegear service is among the best I ever experienced. smile.gif Planning to do a mini review for s7 here once I got the laptop.

We have conducted a simple browsing test and the battery life of Q5 Evo is about the same as S5 (with optimus enabled).

Q5 Evo doesn't have fingerprint sensor like the Q5.
Q5 Evo is more towards gaming with better internal thermal management, Q5 on the other hand comes with fingerprint sensor and capability to extend 3 external displays.

Hi, I'm currently using 3+ year-old MSI GS70 and looking for potential replacement. I like the lightweight of my GS70 yet with sufficient capability to run games. What is the recommended model offerred by Illegear? I'm looking for laptop with the following criteria:
1) Lightweight
2) Able to run latest games with high settings (no need for highest or ultra, though). I plays a lot of Football Manager, SimCity like games, RPG/RTS games such as Diablo III and Starcraft II, occassionally FPS games like Crysis 3.
3) Good screen quality, preferrably IPS and sound system as I'm watching a lot of videos on the laptop
4) Better cooling capability than my GS70. I have experienced battery failure and display failure attributed to high temperature.

Hi Cimo

I would recommend Q7 (with GTX1050 and GTX1050Ti, able to play the games you mentioned in ultra settings smoothly)

http://store.illegear.com/q-series/107-illegear-q7.html

and S7 (with GTX1060 and GTX1070, able to play AAA games in ultra settings smoothly)

http://store.illegear.com/s-series/114-illegear-s7.html

You can also visit us at http://illegear.com/getting-here to check out both models.

You can also consider S5 http://store.illegear.com/s-series/113-illegear-s5.html (2.5KG).

Please note GTX1060 and GTX1070 are high end desktop class GPU, they require enough space to store the thermal cooling materials for heat dissipation. If the laptop is made too thin, it may suffers from throttling and overheating.

You can also consider Q7 which is a lot lighter and thinner.

Hi Jimmy,

Regarding your feedback, one dead pixel is actually quite normal in most modern LCD displays. It does not fall under the warranty but we do provide an insurance option to guarantee your laptop is free from dead/lit pixels within the first 6 months of purchase. As per checking, you order did not include the "no dead/lit pixel insurance" premium option for your laptop. ILLEGEAR do use Grade A LCD display from top-tier manufacturer in overseas, but even by that; there is still a chance for one less visible dead or lit pixel to appear on the display.

Different computer vendors have different dead pixel policies. For example, some vendors replace the screen only when there are at least 3 visible dead/lit pixels appearing on the center of your screen.

For ILLEGEAR, we do provide the "ILLEGEAR Display Quality Standards" to guarantee your screen has less than 3 lit pixels, 3 dead pixels or 3 lit and dead pixels in total. In choosing dead pixel insurance option, we will ensure that your screen is FREE from ANY dead pixel or partially-lit pixels within 180 days of purchasing.

We hope you understand this situation and we are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Jslut,

We recommend Hibernate instead of sleep.

Did you enable discrete graphics when you sleep you S5?

Hi jslut, you can refer to useful information here: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Hibernate_vs_Sleep

There are two ways:

1. Press F2 upon boot up, it's in advanced chipset control.
2. Access "Control Center" in windows environment, it's in bottom right hand corner.

You need to enable discrete graphics to enable Gsync.

Recently we receive a lot of enquiries about the differences between Q5 and Q5 Evo because both models come with similar specifications. We would say the biggest difference is the thermal management system.

Q5 (N850HJ, N850HK1): Slimmer and lighter body. Supports up to 3 external displays. Come with fingerprint reader. Runs a lot hotter than Q5 Evo in gaming.

Q5 Evo: Solid build quality and aluminum back cover. Can only support 1 external display. Come with 2x M.2 PCIe slots. About 20 to 25 degree Celsius lower in gaming compared to Q5.

Conclusion: If portability is important to you and you only play games occasionally, the Q5 is more suitable to your needs. If you don't mind the extra 300 grams and you play games heavily, Q5 Evo is a better choice.

Hi miong93,

The Z5 now comes with GTX1060 6GB GDDR5, that's a huge jump from the first gen Z5 with GTX860M.

Hi there,

I'm an university student from Vietnam. Recently, I am looking to purchase a new laptop, and the ILLEGEAR Q5 series seem like a good deal to me. However, I am not sure about the quality of the product since there are no reviews on the internet.

So I would like to ask how the laptop handle heat? I am not a hardcore gamer I just play game about 2 hours a day. Furthermore, how long the battery last if i'm just surfing the web?

Another thing is that, when I order the laptop to ship to Vietnam, do I have to pay any extra expenses or the price is the same in the web.

I noticed that ILLEGEAR provide custom painting service, so can I remove the logo of the laptop in the back?. No offense but that logo is not my taste.

Sorry for the long ass post since my budget is very tight and I have to consider a lot of things. Thank you, I really appreciate your help

Hi Jubo1507,

Regarding your inquiries about the Q5, the build is quite sleek & slim at just 2.2kg in weight. Supports up to 3 external displays & comes with fingerprint reader too. However, it runs a lot hotter than its brother, Q5 Evo in gaming. If portability is important to you and you only play games occasionally, the Q5 is more suitable to your needs. If you don't mind the extra 300 grams and you play games heavily, Q5 Evo is a better choice. Battery for the Q5 is about 4 - 4.5 hours on normal usage, but then the definition of "normal usage" does vary greatly between users, so YMMV.

The price for the Q5 is already inclusive of shipping, even for shipping to Vietnam, so no worries about the additional shipping cost.

Regarding the logo removal service, I will have to get back to you regarding its possibility.

No worries, we welcome all sorts of inquiries laugh.gif have a great weekend ahead!

Yup, it hovers around that. From our stress test, we found out that the Q5 Evo peaks around 70°C - 75°C only during heavy load.

Hi Xiang,

Where are you from may I ask? You can also mail in the laptop and not necessary to deliver it personally with the carry-in warranty.

Hi.. my illegear s5 got some problem when playing on9 game. WASD key got some seriously delay when playing blade and soul, Digimon Master Online or whatever on9 games that using WASD key to move. My brother laptop just ok playing this game with the same internet connectivity. How to solve this problem? Offline games such as The Witcher 3, MGS 5, Fallout 4 doesnt face this problem at all.

Another problem is all games that I play stay at 60fps. Disable vsync could increase fps but the grafic not smooth at all.

Picked up my Z5 1050TI this morning from Illegear. First off, huge compliments on Azim helped me through choice decision and customization upon my request. thumbup.gif I believe i did not had better services from any other retailer/seller. notworthy.gif

Initial inquiry on confirmed order at 11th April, was suppose to expect readiness by early next week guess what i got surprised that stuff is ready on 14th April. shocking.gif

Not sure if other representative are as good as Azim but they certainly need to learn from him on customer services.

Hi practice_noob

Quick update: We have inspected your laptop and turns out, it's a fan issue (fan replacement is necessary). We have installed a temporary fan replacement and the booting up issue seems fine now, benchmark tests are looking good as well. We are now several stress testing on your laptop before preparing the RMA report. Will contact you soon smile.gif

Hi hyperyouth_firepower,

We would recommend either by using HWinfo (https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php) or GPU-Z (https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-gpu-z/) for a complete summary and overview, up to your preference.

The laguna uses better heatsink and material comparing to Q5 Evo, that's why it's heavier.

Is the Laguna available in the showroom? Looks good and great pricing for a 1070 laptop. A few questions though:

What is Smart RGB keyboard? Individual backlit RGB or still zoned?
Also, is it possible to opt for a 120hz gsync panel?

edit: figured out its zoned from the screenshot of the control centre tongue.gif

Hello Illegear, the latest Laguna looks good! I would appreciate it if you can tell me more about the screen because I'm a designer, particularly concerned about the colour accuracy and colour gamut of the screen.

Due to the slim design how does Laguna perform in thermal performance?

Thank you in advance.

jedi_dc Yes, the ILLEGEAR Laguna is now available in our showroom, come2 visit to test the mini-beast! smile.gif Yes, the smart keyboard has a tri-zone RGB coloring that you can customize in the control centre. The smart touchpad light color is also customizable & it has a sensor built-in, so it will actually light up upon contact. At the moment, there is no 120Hz G-SYNC panel option available.

Darkshining The IPS screen that we're utilizing for ILLEGEAR LAGUNA has a 100% sRGB color coverage actually, perfect for designers but we would recommend to opt for the professional color calibration, it will yield the best results later for the color coverage as well as the color accuracy. In terms of thermal performance, it is actually slightly better than the S5. Under heavy load, the estimation of the temperature is <68°C for GTX 1060 and <75°C for GTX 1070.

Hello, I want to ask several questions regarding laguna laptop:

1) Can I assume that this newest entry is max q design laptop?
2) Is there a big gap difference in terms of performance and cooling factor, between laguna and S series?.
3) May I know why is there a difference in price when I want to go for gtx 1070 for laguna(RM999), s5(RM1099),s7(RM1199) and d5(RM1299) laptop?
4) Is it because the different types of laptop on handling the gpu performance? If so, then d5 can fully utilize the maximum performance of gtx 1070 compare to the three laptop that I have mention above?
4) Lastly, will there be an upcoming promotion in this month?

I'm sorry for asking these question that maybe inconvenience to you. Thank you.

Hello kirawan smile.gif regarding your enquiries:

1) Although it is slim, Laguna is not utilizing the MAX-Q technology technically, kindly note.
2) Not really a big gap, although if you are comparing between the two, Laguna > S-Series in terms of thermal management.
3) Difference in series mainly, S-Series are aimed towards professionals who demands heavy graphical performance & also more expendability in terms of RAMs and SSD/HDD. We also received bulk discounts on the Laguna units compared to the S-Series, that also explains the difference in price.
4) GPU performance should be similar between the two but the D-Series are much more reliable in terms of overclockability on A/C because of the larger power supply (330W vs 180W)
5) Will announce soon~ laugh.gif

Thank you very much for the fast reply. With that answers, I'm almost done with my homework. For my last questions (I guess):

1) Does D5 compatible with razer core or any external gpu docks? since D5 have thunderbolt 3.
2) I'm not an audiophile person but since I'm curious about the sub-woofer, is there any significant impact in audio department if the laptop does not have the sub-woofer?
3) Is D5 deafult monitor screen 100% sRGB color coverage?

Again, I'm sorry for such weird questions. Thank you.

Hi,

Few questions on Laguna:

1) Laguna is based on which Clevo's model?
2) What is the material use for palm rest?
3) How's the cooling performance compared to Z5 and S5?

Thanks

Regarding your questions:

1) Laguna is actually not based from Clevo, it's actually ILLEGEAR's custom design
2) Aluminium, but a thicker variant compared to the Z5, hence the weight
3) Laguna > Z5 > S5. Under heavy load, the estimation of the temperature is <68°C for GTX 1060 and <75°C for GTX 1070.


The RGB of the touchpad (as well as the power button & the keyboard) can be turned off. For the Clevo P950 model, we will announce it officially soon smile.gif

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.

The Illegear U3 is only come with a I7 7500u, which i think there is bottleneck when compare to the HQ series processor, due to lower core and "U" series is energy efficient processor. some review benchmark is 10-20+fps different.

It will be good, in future, if there is slim + HQ series or Desktop series + TB 3.

Hi there

The difference between connecting GPU via Thunderbolt 3 and PCI Express is 5 to 15%, it can be lowered down to 5% if you connect external monitors.

The bottleneck is caused by the Thunderbolt transfer rate, no the CPU as per our test.

Hi dinraxx,

We won't be using Thunderbolt 3 on RAVEN and LAGUNA because they already have dedicated GPU embedded.

RAVEN demo will be ready end of August. smile.gif*

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).

Hello,

Would like to inquire if the Illegear shop will be open during these two days 31 August and 1 September? If it is not, would you guys be open on Saturday or Sunday? May i also inquire where the shop is at?

I am planning to come and sent my notebook in for checkup, notice some issue where the fan is spinning quite hard. Figure it might be some clogged fan or something.

Thanks!

Any idea whats the cause of the BSOD? loose connectors somewhere? I think because Illegear quite a small company and their at ITFair now so no staff to attend to these things. Hopefully they can improve on this though as they do tout their customer service to be a selling point. Update us on what happens next biggrin.gif currently considering a raven but I don't live near KL so it'd be a hassle if I got one and it BSOD-ed.

Hi dupont200,

Just to clarify, we didn't refuse to one-to-one exchange for you. You actually requested for an "one-to-one exchange on the spot without any checking on the system" which is out of our company policy.

You also sent in the laptop one day before the ITFAIR in the evening time, all of us were extremely busy for the booth setup and stock preparation.

I believe our staff also had explained to you that we will be attending to your case right after the ITFAIR.

For BSOD, it could be caused by hardware or software, we will be more than happy to exchange a brand new stock to you if your unit is detected to have a hardware problem.

P/S: According to the technician that assembled your unit, he didn't see any BSOD in the burn-in test before we delivered to you, we will recheck what's the causes.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Hello, im interested in some of your products.

1) does the back of the external gpu have a connector to a monitor? like the alienware graphic amplifier? or do i have to do it like,
monitor >>> laptop <<<external gpu

2) whenever i connect my laptop to the external gpu do i need to restart my laptop? or no need, like the Asus ROG XG station 2.

3) does the S5 model compatible with the external GPU? Like having a thunderbolt 3? extremely interested in the S5 due to the processor upgrade of HK in a 15.6 slim notebook.

4) just curious, is the s5 model compatible with the Asus RoG XG Station 2?

Thank you for your time and sorry to disturb you.

1. Yes there is, at the back of eGPU

2. No need, but it takes some time to detect the eGPU + graphics card.

3. S5 only has USB Type-C, no Thunderbolt 3.

4. You need Thunderbolt 3 for eGPU conenction, only D series and U3 have that.

Joshua: "The last time I heard about a gaming laptop having a mechanical keyboard, it had a 5-figure price tag. With more than half of that amount gone, the Raven's keyboard is a very interesting addition into the mid-range category. It boasts as an RGB mechanical keyboard with per-key RGB lighting and N-Key Rollover features for anti-ghosting (pressing more than 10 keys simultaneously). There was barely any flex when typing, and the keys do feel mechanical in some way, giving out some tactile feedback. Just like any other mechanical keyboard, it can get a little too loud sometimes, especially in quiet areas full of people like an office or a library, but that's no big deal. I have awesome lights to show off! This is Illegear's own version of mechanical switches, unlike anything we've seen like a Cherry MX or Kailh. We hope to see more of these embedded in their future releases."

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.

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.

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 !!

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 notworthy.gif

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

Hey ho folks, my MSI GE40 has finally died on me (RIP old friend) and my attempts to revive the little bugger has all but ended it frustration.

Long story short, I needed new lappy. I've been eyeing Illegear for the longest time (even prior to buying the GE40) and at first the Raven seemed to be a perfect fit for my needs...

... but yeah, you know what they say about having to physically touch what you're gonna buy FIRST before committing to anything? Now that Illegear has a showroom, off I went ler to feel2 and touch2 the Raven.

Bad move. Baddddddd.

Now I'm lusting for the S5X and might just get one. Damn.

Hopefully S6X (or whatever Coffee Lake version of the S5X) will take its sweet time arriving lol. Otherwise, if I get my S5X just to find Coffee Lake coming in February or something, I'll cry rivers.

Rivers I tell you.

And if Volta arrives in tandem, I'll cry rivers of blood.

Lol true that. All in all, including waiting for the ODMs to pack them in new cases, I guess we're looking at a May-June release of BOTH Volta and CL then...

... and my lappy is dead now.

Besides once Volta hits people are gonna say wait for Cannon. Or Ice. Lol.

Oh well. I've always traditionally had bad timing when it comes to having to purchase stuff. Plus only God knows how these new lappies are gonna be priced and how my financial situation is gonna be like once the May-June window hits.

Also, dat Singles Day promo. Delicious thin S5X + freebies mmmmm.

Yea like Prince J said, it's a forever waiting game. I was initially planning to wait for coffeelake & volta, but in the end decided on the Laguna. Have not looked back ever since.

I was also initially skeptical with illegear, so it's pretty much a leap of faith to go for the Laguna. So glad I made the decision, the machine IS A BEAST ! Good temps, good performance, and most importantly, good customer service from Illegear. Game worry free, any issues you can always raise to the Illegear team and they are always prepared to help.

Illegear in summary : Not a famous world brand, but offers similar or even better level of performance, with a price tag that is much more reasonable, and a dedicated customer service team is always prepared to help you handle any issues or dissatisfaction on your machine. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

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?

Hi Kungpow,

Z7 cannot have GTX1070.

Laguna GTX1070 has anodized aluminum build, better battery and better cooling.

S5X 1070 max-q is slimmer with max-q grade GTX1070 performance.

Hi paya

Which ILLEGEAR model you are looking for? For gaming and working, I recommend the Laguna with GTX1050Ti (83Wh with Optimus enabled).

Doesn't matter any model. I needed the battery to last at least 3-4 hours with web surfing, mic office, adobe softwares, etc. Is it possible? Because i will do some work outside of the house. Hows raven in terms of the battery performance?

Hi paya,

Raven has 4.5 hours battery life according to battery mark. For normal surfing, it can last 3-4 hours no problem.

Laguna 83Wh battery with 1060 and 1070 can last around 4.5 hours without Optimus. With 1050Ti optimus, it is around 5 to 6 hours.

Flight out from Japan later today. Gonna be my first day with my new S5X tomorrow (26th) so I'm a bit anxious lol. Hopefully it goes well and everything is as it should be.

Damn, it's nerve wrecking to say the least. Funny that I could wait weeks while being in Japan but these few hours seem almost unbearable lol.

And hey, Merry Christmas all.

Hi Eiraku,

Tuesday is deferred holiday of our staff after ITFair, so you won't be able to pickup the goods at our office.

We can still provide special arrangement for you to pickup at a specific time, kindly check your pm.

It's the 1070 MaxQ ver, with 60Hz FullHD IPS screen, my own 256GB NVMe SSD (Crucial IINM, pulled it out of my Miix), the 2TB Firecuda and the freebies from the Singles Day promo (yeah I ordered it a loooooooong time ago lol).

Otherwise, specs shouldn't vary much from the site, it's a BGA laptop after all.

So yeah, I just took delivery of my S5X and damn, it's exactly as I'd imagined it to be.

First, a pic to start things off:

user posted image

So, a Full Review will be up later when I have spent more time with the thing, but for now here's my initial thoughts:

1) It's even more well built then the preview unit they have up at the Oval. Everything is hemmed shut, and other than some seams originating from the 2-piece, cup-bottom design of the S5X itself (and the plastic screen/keyboard frame), the thing really feels solid. The seams/gaps around the edges do look a tad unsightly though, IF you focus too much on them.

2) Screen bleed is ooookay. It's IPS and after all and while loosening the frame MIGHT help lessen the bleed, it also MIGHT just gonna lead to creaking and other stuff happening (which will annoy me even more), so it's probably as good as it gets. Image Quality is very nice though, especially considering it's JUST a full HD screen. It's probably the same unit used in the Guru Fire KS reviewed on Notebookcheck (looking from the ID), so the specs on that unit applies. And yeah, calibration does make a noticeable difference BTW.

3) The fans on the S5X is NOT as noisy as I initially thought it would be. Now downloading stuff through Origin/Steam and surfing and the thing is relatively quiet, alternating between low and low-medium amounts of fan noise (and I'm not even in an air conditioned room). I do have the Coolermaster U2 pad beneath it, but as I broke the CM fans it's just a passive raiser pad now. I'm thinking that with a little undervolt it would probably fare even better.

4) Unit comes with Windows 10 Creator Update pre-installed. Haven't had issues yet but CU is infamous for effing up gaming. Will disable Xbox/DVR later and hopefully that would be enough to not make things stutter too much (without having to resort to uninstalling Xbox completely OR having to roll back to Pre-CU W10).

5) The pre-installed Clevo Control Centre is NOT installed with the XTU service along with it, which is STELLAR, as the XTU service is known to mess up fan tables, leading to fan noise when there shouldn't be any.

6) The Chicony adapter is much more compact than I thought it was, now that have spent more than a few minutes with it. Which is surprising for something rated up to 180W.

7) Caps Lock and Num Lock not having actual physical indicators can be a bit of a pain. The on-screen indicators help a bit, but can be obstructive sometimes. I mean, how hard is it to just drill a tiny hole in the keycaps and sticking an extra white LED in there?

So yeah, I guess that's all I have for starters. Does sound a tad critical but keep in mind I REALLY like the S5X I've received in general, so negative points above are more or less just nitpicks.

For even more detailed info, I'll post up my full review later when I'm done with it in a week or so.

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

For Clevo-based models (S5, S7, S5X etc), IINM this is called FlexiCharge and it's actually built into the BIOS/UEFI. It's configurable to start/stop charging at predetermined points, but you can only really tinker with it in BIOS/UEFI.

But the Raven and the Laguna isn't actually Clevo-based units AFAIK so I'm not really sure myself. Maybe the "smart charging" works the same way (UEFI-based) or maybe it works the way Lenovo makes it work (with their own Windows-based software); but let's wait for Prince J to chime in with his input.

Hey everyone, heads up.

Just wanna drop in and say that for whatever reason(s), the latest Microsoft Windows 10 update (its a really big update) will mess with your screen's colour calibration. Now my white looks bloody "rusty red". For some reason, I think they call it "warm" colour, but what's white is now "rusty red". Sigh. :/

Be careful though!
