Somehow i forgot to put my review here last saturday, probably preoccupied with doing work on my Q5 Evo laptop

RAM USAGE:
Always use only 5-8GB for gaming
Emulation PS2 smooth like butter (Persona 4)
Story:
My previous laptop was a Lenovo Z400 touch, but touchscreen faulty
it was one week after i purchased the lenovo
And it is now dead due to spill damage, wanted to replace/repair but shop said "Better you go buy a new laptop"
So my journey began, to search a laptop, was eyeing Alienware 13 R3, but not yet available in Malaysia (March)
Then I searched online for secondhands, refurbished etc. Before I stumbled upon Illegear, I had also seen some other Malaysian Custom Gaming Laptops.
But somehow I am more attracted to Illegear.
Maybe because from their facebook, they have outstanding customer service, answered my questions and fast reply.
I played dirty bomb with GT740M and have only reach ~55-60FPS
Now, with GTX1050ti, 120FPS++
(higher graphic settings some more)
Was using i5 3230M, still okay for me to browse, 8GB 1600MHz no lag, but boot time for Lenovo Z400 was over one minute.
Now with i7 7700HQ, blimey loading chrome faster than fast, 16 GB 2400MHz
I took out the 1TB HDD 5400RPM from my lenovo and used for additional Q5 EVO storage.
275GB crucial SSD great, with another empty SSD slot!
Also RGB lighting I set to bluish to pair with my logiteech G402 Hyperion Fury and soon G710+
I cry everytime I see my setup.
Some cons:
However, there is a problem existing in my unit but now important just peculiar:
16GB ram, 2x8GB RAM, so two slots right?
But in task manager show 4 slots, so two still empty.
I don't mind this but maybe after warranty expire I will open up myself and see.
Another is the AC adapter, the exhaust fan are designed at the rear back.
But the AC in is designed bent, so the 'wayar' will be 'kena' the hot air coming out of the rear exhaust.
Probably Illegear should design a 'straight' type (But with the cooler master, elevated and not a problem anymore)
Bottomline;
My little brother will be sitting for his UPSR this year,
And he is already impressed with my laptop, so he says he wants one like mine.
So, I will BERUS him, lecture him to oso get illegear, maybe TROIKA? hahaha
