hi...i have selenite pro i7-9750 with rtx2060.

i want to upgrade my SSD to 1TB as my current 500gb is not enough (blame COD). so, i plan to buy upgrade ssd from illigear 1TB as my main and my current 500gb as my 2nd hd.
just wanna ask few things.

1) if i upgrade SSD from Illigear, how long will it takes for illigear to install new SSD along with clean windows install if i bring my laptop to center?? will it take days or can it be done onsite settle that day it self??

2) If illigear unable to do it on the same day (maybe gonna take weeks), can i buy my own SSD and install it myself? will this void the warranty? - i really need the laptop as it is my daily work machine.

3) i prefer illigear to do clean install everything (bios/windows/drivers), just like getting new laptop...however, if i choose to upgrade the ssd myself (refer quest 2)...will illigear support help me with bios/windows installation?? ---bcoz, i really noobshit about laptop.

thanks...

I suggest you buy your own. But if you really want to buy from them, make sure you choose the branded ones (e.g. from Samsung) not the generic no-brand ones because they're problematic.

I don't think replacing the storage or RAM will void the warranty. Also it's super easy to replace as well.

FYI in case you don't know, you don't need to clean install your OS and everything if you want to upgrade. You can just clone from your existing drive to the new one.

I have noticed the selenite will charge the battery after power up the PC even though it is fully charge before shut down.
With this rate, the battery will be swollen up like most of the selenite user's case.

Anyone has any solution so far or have to send yo Illegear for check up?
*
what do you mean? If plugged in, of course it's going to keep charging (by that I mean kept at 100%). Selenite doesn't have battery charge capping.

Again, battery MUST NOT be the primary power source. It isn't rocket science. Why does GPU PL throttling goes away when driver is re-installed but comes back after os restarts or wakes from hibernation?
*
Reading back from previous pages, seems they're saying the 230W power brick alone can't supply enough to the laptop under full workload demand. But if that's the case I haven't seen my battery level drop after a prolonged gaming session.

About the GPU PL throttling thing, what's that about?

Hey Jerald, thank you for your prompt reply, its my first time purchasing illegear and u made your point there. I did some research for the pass weeks, unfortunately doesn't have much review on selenite G, instead of selenite Pro (Maybe its new). On the side note, as you said they are several complains about Selenite Pro keyboard they are quite packed for a 17inch laptop and they switches to membrane key which its a turn off to me, despite the loud noise of mechanical are always my first choice. For the weight issue, should be not a problem for me cos my workplace frm my house are 5min apart (by car) and i will be carrying in a backpack with some documents and i had a desegnated parking spot for me able to access to my office room.

I'm not planning to maxed out my rig anyway, i just need a decent one should be good to go.

I've made my decision and i might go for the Selenite G and i will be placing order by 30/10. They are offering some Halloween bundle.

here is my basics configuration, anything i should subtract or adding in? am i missing something?
Selenite G
-17.3″ 144Hz FHD Anti-glare IPS NTSC 72% INFINIVISION Display (300 nitts)
- Professional Color Calibration (FREE)
- Intel 10th Gen i7 10875H (8 Cores, 16 Threads, 16M Cache, 2.3Ghz to 5.1Ghz)
-Nvidia RTX 2060 115W 6GB GDDR6 with Optimus (Max-Performance)
-Liquid Metal & Burn In Test- CPU & GPU
-16GB Dual Channel DDR4 RAM 2933MHz - 2 X 8GB
-1TB Samsung PM981a M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive (3500r|3000w mbps) (FREE)
-2nd M.2 Solid State Drive (None)
-1st 2.5" SATA Drive (None)
-Killer-Wifi 6AX 1650 2x2 M.2- WLAN and Bluetooth
-Window 10 Home 64bit OEM
-2 Year Carry-in Warranty & Lifetime Technical Support
-Microsoft Office 2019 Home and Student ESD Edition Microsoft Office 2019 Home and Student ESD Edition

Total =RM 8,215
*
The Killer AX1650 isn't worth the extra cost IMO. I have it, and I doubt it's any better than the Intel one. Both are 2x2 with Bluetooth 5.1. AX wifi itself is still relatively new and most AX routers are still 1st gen ones. The wifi card you can upgrade yourself later anyway when newer tech is available.

Yeah 1Tb samsung 981a is free for halloween package. thumbup.gif

The OS system should i go for the free trial first which is free? or i get the 64bit OEM edition which cost around extra RM449.

Up to you really. Quite cheap compared to buying directly from Microsoft for the Home edition (RM 919), but I guess it's fully legal.

There is of course other ehem2 way.........

Battery looks ok for me so far. Just checked it last week.

Laptop is 1 year already. Laptop is plugged in 99% of the time since I use it as my main workstation at home.
