QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Feb 4 2020, 07:46 PM) Btw, bro ZMFong, apologies as I haven't had much time to try out thermal testing. For me, the laptop seems to work fine and not so into thermals after your blogs have helped me with the initial setup. No problem, enjoy your new lappy  |

QUOTE(gbs1980 @ Feb 9 2020, 11:13 AM) Is the lenovo Y740 with the 2060 worth it ? Comparing to the similar priced laptops. There might be better options. It has TB3 and RGB but the keyboard layout and typing feel are not greatHow about the thermal and the performance i can squeeze out from it? May I know your budget? Preferred max weight and min battery life? |

QUOTE(gbs1980 @ Feb 9 2020, 12:46 PM) My budget is around 5000 to 6500. Weight around 2kgs, i personally do not care much about the weight but i much prefer something low profile and a bit futureproof. since i will bring it to work and also do some gaming at home occasionally. I Do not mind the battery since i will mainly keep it plugged in. If you don't need TB3, can consider Illegear Prodigy. Under RM5k for a good yet light weight thin and light gaming laptopThanks in advance! |

QUOTE(Adell G @ Feb 16 2020, 04:57 PM) Thankss for the recomendation boss!! You're welcomeQUOTE(76175 @ Feb 16 2020, 10:25 PM) Hi ZM Fong Sensei, what's your opinion on Illgear Selenite Pro? Is RM 6.7k worth it with the 1TB ssd upgrade? Thanks a lot Basically a bigger version of Intel-Tongfang QC7 (aka Vapor 15 Pro, Mag-15, Fusion 15 etc), if you need 17 inch gaming laptop in a thin and light chassis+long battery life, it's a decent option. Will be reviewing it soon (hopefully) |

QUOTE(blueheaven @ Feb 17 2020, 04:47 PM) Brightstar is reputable? At least they have retail storesIts either this or I'll bite the bullet with raven se even though my it exceeds my budget. QUOTE(calvin_ng @ Feb 17 2020, 04:52 PM) No Dell / Alienware? Poor cooling for all current models due to bad fan curve/cooling solution (A51m is exception, but too expensive aldy)QUOTE(blueheaven @ Feb 17 2020, 04:54 PM) Will gaming laptops heat up to detrimental levels even when doing normal web browsing and Microsoft office stuff? Light usage will be fine |

QUOTE(76175 @ Feb 19 2020, 12:10 PM) Bro Sensei, whats the difference between Illgear selenite pro and level 51 forge 15? Same i9 + 2060 + 144hz but the former is RM2K more expensive. Thank you so much Selenite Pro is a thin and light with good battery life (usually more expensive for this kind of gaming laptop), in fact it weights about the same with Forge 15 Pro despite being 17 inch. Moreover, it has magnesium alloy build compared to plastic and it has TB3 (which adds money also) |

The review will be delayed as Illegear don't have review unit for now (out of stock)QUOTE(jeffong12339 @ Feb 19 2020, 06:05 PM) Hi may i ask should i get an illegear raven se or lenovo y540. Planning to go for 15 9300h and gtx 1650 and 8gb ram but the one at illegear 16gb is free. Which one should i get? I dont really care about the look or battery life. Mostly on performance wise. What's your max budget? Open to other options? |
