haha true also, anyway I'm just telling the truth (I have contact with one MSI ex marketing guy btw)

true

I only trust Notebookcheck and Ultrabookreview. Maybe Laptopmedia. However their reviews aren't perfect either

For YT: Jarrod'sTech, Bob of All Trades and Ownordisown. Maybe Mobiletechreview. Dave Lee isn't that good
*
sometimes really have doubt of wanna believe in those youtuber reviews or not. coz they might be getting paid by the brands to do review which only say all the goods & leave out the bads hmm.gif

Both models are decent, cost around RM3.6k. Forge 15 has 120Hz panel though

IMO i5 is enough for your usage (Forge 15 cannot be configured with i5+1650). Also consider Legion Y7000SE with code LENXCIMB (expiring soon). 2 yr premier onsite and W10 key included

1660Ti is more worth it, if possible get that

Of course, PM for further discussion

in case wanna upgrade gpu / cpu in future, which is better?

laptop with gtx1660ti is too expensive, way over budget for me

been following illegear gaming laptop thread for long time, recently saw a rise in number of issues / complains from other users.

is illegear build quality taking a drop?

was planning to get a laptop end of this month, but now confidence toward illegear drop after reading those problems posted by other users.

some of them are new users who jz receive & started using the laptop less then 6 months

Bro, just curious on the below:

Was checking the status of the shipping and noticed the following.

Is this a normal message to get when the products are being shipped in?

user posted image

Or everyone else has the same status whenever tech products reaches Customs...

few weeks ago my friend ordered a laptop from lenovo
he also had this exactly same issue

wonder if i can post & ask in this thread, it's about my new forge15 received last month

having some problem when playing few open world survival game
it will go hang & kind of "Alt + Tab" itself during gameplay out to desktop, strangely the game doesn't crash or stop responding, i jz need to Alt+Tab again to get back into game & continue playing like nothing happen.

this issue can happen up to 6 times in a day. luckily only few certain games encounter this problem
ark survival evolved, no man's sky, astroneer, surviving mars

anyone have any idea how to solve this ?

i7
gtx 1650

really disappointed with Level51 Forge 15
bought it on 19 Jan before CNY
the default SSD go kaput 2 weeks after mco started in March
need warranty repair after buying in less than 3 months

damn regretting my decision of choosing Level51 laptop bangwall.gif

my advice to all buyers, be REALLY careful with your choice of laptop, else you will really regret it later bangwall.gif

Your issue had significantly made me want to remove the Level51's laptop from my bucket list... So they can offer cheaper price for some reason... how much you pay at that time?
