Mine had zero wear and I didn't even use the laptop on battery much (that too for non-intensive tasks). I only got to know about swollen battery because I wanted to do regular cleaning.

Looking to purchase a Selenite G here, but I noticed that the RTX 2070 Super for Selenite G has optimus, boosting the price you by 1,399RM...

BUT on the Laguna SE, RTX 2070 Super is only 699.

Both is Max Performance.

Is Optimus really worth that 700RM increase? I know what it is after asking Illegear's WhatsApp but is unsure if it's worth the extra money.

Hi dell212,

SELENTIE G RTX2060 -> RTX2070 Super + RM1399
SELENTIE G RTX2070 -> RTX2070 Super + RM700
LAGUNA SE RTX2070 -> RTX2070 Super + RM699

Hope the above clarify.

That does clear things up! Can't believe I missed that until you pointed it out.

My god I feel stupid now haha 😂

Thanks a lot!

can we change light bar colour?

EDIT: my illegear command centre does not have the below button to switch over backlight/LED Light bar..

EDIT2: my command centre version is already latest.. 1.0.0.50

Have the same battery problem like yours seem like the battery only can last for roughly 1 years 10 months.

10 months in my case.

Are you able to use Intel XTU while Illegear Command Center is installed and running? The command center doesn't lets the CPU go above 40W, even in turbo mode and that is hurting CPU dependent tasks.

Guys can i purchase an additional Charger? how much does it cost?

Mine too.. mine almost exactly 1 year.. no warranty for battery.. and I only use 99.9% plugged in!




I thought of buying extra charger too for convenience.. I got ask before the cost, I dont remember exactly how much but it is a lot for me that I didn't bother with it.. Should be around rm 300-500 range... If around rm 150 below I would have bought one myself.

just texted the customer service RM480 for one, for convenient wise

Is it legal for Illegear to sell laptops with batteries known to have such high failure rates? Is there a consumer forum we can approach in Malaysia to file a complaint with the government?

Yeah.. thats costly for me.. so I have to skip the idea...

They themselves know this batch of battery has issue, but they are not replacing them for us free. The best they can do is just give discount... I paid mine RM225 , i believe is after their 50% discount

A laptop is supposed to have a working battery backup. If they are selling laptops with batteries having high failure rates, I would consider this as a fraud.

Yup this battery problem really sucks. I dont mind if the battery degrades but why would it effect the notebook performance is whole different can of worm. what kind of design decision that goes that oh lets screw the user if they dont use the battery and lets make it degrade for continuous profit.

last time got forumer who can replace the laptop battey but replacing the original battery (inside-18650) with quality ones..

100% agreed.

I am facing GPU PL throttling because of no battery (for about 7 months now) and Illegear team says selenite is designed like this. I mean who was stupid enough to make this bad design decision?

Would you be able to share how he did this? 18650 are cylindrical but most Illegear laptops have flat Li-Ion cells AFAIK.
