ASUS TUF FX505DT Gaming Laptop- 15.6, 120Hz Full HD, AMD Ryzen 5 R5-3550H Processor, GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics, 8GB DDR4, 256GB PCIe SSD, RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 64-bit - FX505DT-AH51

Pros:

Played Outer Worlds on Ultra Quality without a problem. Battery lasts easily for 4-5 hours when working on papers for college. Very solid construction. I have owned many computers from Asus. I have yet to have one fail. I have mistreated them at times and never saw a problem. My daughters laptops are both Asus as well. Oldest dropped hers and has had an excited dog drag it of a table by the power cable...screen was fine still runs perfect.

This is overall a good computer for the price but my main issue is that it is advertised as 120hz but it is only 60, or at least the one I got, this wouldnt be such a big deal normally but that that advertising influenced my decision because this same laptop was on amazon for $50 cheaper and 60hz so I wasted $50+tax

I wanted an introductory gaming laptop and this works well. The fan is a little loud (but thats expected with most gaming devices). Lucky enough to get this on sale, and ive been very happy with it so far.

So my gfs laptop was beginning to fail on her. Shed had her old one for roughly five years and some of the games she wanted to play simply dont work on intergrated intel graphics. Being a gamer and computer hardware enthusiast, I wanted to make sure I got her something that would not only last, but play everything she wanted to play and more.

This will run most mid-range games no problem. I do recommend it if you need a gaming laptop for the price of a cheap sofa. BUT be aware that corners must get cut to make a laptop this cheap. In this case, the wifi adapter is awful. Truly annoying. Its routinely dropped wifi since I got the thing. Today it died entirely, a little over a year after purchase. Be mentally prepared to fix it early or suffer as I have. Other cheap parts are making themselves obvious by this point too. That said, my husband and I both have one of these and weve gotten many hours of game-time together, so it hasnt been all bad.

The quality of the product is incredible!

The ASUS TUF FX505dt with the Ryzen 5 3550h is an amazing laptop for budget gamers. You get the 8 thread ryzen cpu and nvidias new 16 series graphics card. Plus a 120hz refresh rate screen which no other laptop has at this price point. I seriously recommend this laptop.

I usually dont go all out on gaming laptops as all of my games are not very intensive. For me, its more about the cpu as I need enough power there to run a few big programs. Also, make sure you get a pair of RAM modules as this only comes with one stick which will hurt performance. Other than that, its a good laptop.

I bought this for my wife to replace her 6-year old Asus Zenbook laptop which was starting to do strange things. I figured it would be just as much work to re-install Windows from scratch and her programs and she would still have an old computer. She is not a gamer, so she wont push it to its limits, so this review is for those that would just use it as a laptop. This laptop is AWESOME! I was concerned about a few comments indicating they run hot and are loud. It runs cool to the touch and is amazingly fast and quiet. She often uses it while resting on on her thighs and she feels no heat at all. If the fan is running we certainly cant hear it. The screen is wonderful too.........and she raves about the keyboard! The build quality is outstanding and because of the solid state drive it boots extremely fast. I havent timed it but would estimate boot-time to be in the 10-15 second range. In closing, I like it so much I have thought about buying their ASUS TUF 17.3 FHD Gaming Laptop to replace my Acer Predator Computer.
