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

I bought this 6 years ago and it's still going strong and working perfectly I can play any game like GTA 5 etc it really is TUF because I had it in my backpack and it fell out of a moving golf cart onto the asphalt right on it's corner like 4 months after I bought it and it has never caused any issue even 6 years later. Everything functions exactly as it did from day one, all the LEDs under the keyboard still work and light up, all the keys and buttons function the same as day one. I did upgrade the storage to Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB and the RAM to 32GB. For about 4 years I used it exclusively until I built a gaming PC at home now I just use the laptop when I travel which is a lot because i'm a trucker so i'm always going from hotels to my truck and staying in different places and it does everything I need it to, it's fast and has different graphic presets that you can select based on watching movies, playing rpg/fps games, reading etc. First and only laptop i've ever owned but I have to say I have never in my life have a PC last this long before, my desktops usually last 4-5 years but this laptop has survived drops without any problem so if I ever sell it for an upgrade such as larger screen or improved graphic ASUS Rog it will look and perform like new even being over half a decade old while still running almost every game with great graphics.

Got this one on sale back in January for less than $700 USD plus Prime shipping. I was pretty impressed with it right from the get go. Purchased it as a backup for my gaming rig, specially when on the go. While plugged in, it can handle most current gen games at medium to medium-high settings with decent FPS and previous gen at Ultra settings at max resolution at around 70-100 fps. I added an extra 8 GB RAM stick to bring it up to 16 GBs and an additional SSD, since the version I got came with a 256 GB .2 NVMe SSD. I'd say the RAM upgrade was an absolute MUST since a lot of newer software and games requires much more RAM to operate efficiently. On that note, in order to install anything, the whole bottom cover of the laptop needs to come off, so it will provide some difficulty. Once you're inside, everything is within reach so upgrading things like the WiFi card, RAM, extra SSD and cooling solutions is easy to do. Speaking of cooling, this thing gets hot during sessions... and I mean HOT. I'm looking at 80-89 C on usual gaming sessions on average on Turbo cooling mode. So playing on your actual lap is fine if you want to oven bake your privates. Put the laptop on an actual desk... ASUS' proprietary Armory Crate software lets you manage the cooling system and overall performance, and at max settings, the laptop will start to sound like a jet plane. Noise-cancelling headphones are probably a good idea. Aside from those caveats, and poor battery life (the GTX 1650 can barely run at 25% on battery mode since the battery cannot produce enough wattage for it to run at full capacity) it's a solid little machine if you wanna get into PC gaming with a limited budget. Nice job, ASUS.

This is a complete review of this laptop with consistent use for about a year, and by consistent I mean over 6 hours every day type consistent (only gamers will understand this). This is based off of reviews I've watched on YouTube and read on amazon, along with my own personal experience. PROS: 1. Screen is bright and displays color very well. No pixilation, and makes gaming and watching videos very enjoyable. 2. The laptop itself is sturdy. The screen doesn't move in place like my dell gaming laptop which had a nasty reputation of the hinge breaking off on the left side, causing movement to the screen and the impossibility of closing the laptop without banging that sucker in. The closing and opening of the screen is very smooth, and very secure. The parts of the laptop where you place your palms are sturdy, and haven't worn out at all, not even the sticker that displays the features of the laptop (also, very spacious especially for smaller hands, probably a better for for bigger ones) 3. The backlit keyboard is a JOY. I've always wanted my own pc set up with the crazy rbg lights and stuff, but i had to settle for this and no problems whatsoever. They're on day and night and haven't gone off, or flickered or died. The colors are super bright and make gaming or even late night web surfing a magical experience. You can change the color in your armoury crate app. -NOTE: It took me some time to find out how to turn up the brightness on my keyboard when it suddenly shut off after waking up from sleep mode, but FN + the upper arrow key on the right number pad is how you control it for those that DON'T want to research it. Now you know! 4. The fans aren't too loud, as in they don't sound like a helicopter in your room. They blast when you game, but it's a louder hum if anything. I dont hear it through my noise cancelling headphones, even if i'm not playing music, just sound off. 5. DOESN'T OVERHEAT!!! As in, the keyboard STAYS COOL, AND SO DO MY PALMS! 6. 3 usb ports on the left side, along with a headphone jack. My macbook doesn't have this, but good thing this laptop does! 7. Surfing the web and gaming is smooth, no lag, no fuss. 8. Seemingly spill proof? I've spilt water, alcohol, and...olive oil (BUT VERY LITTLE!!) and it's managed to survive it all after quickly flipping it down and patting down with some paper towels. No interference or shorting of the software or how it runs casually or gaming. Now I'm not saying don't care about the things you leave around your laptop, but if you're as clumsy as me, I'm saying it won't immediately die on you and it's sturdy!! 9. NOT HEAVY!! You can carry this around without feeling like you've got a ENIAC computer that weighs 29k pounds on your shoulder. Good for those that travel alot, or want to game in their lectures. CONS: 1. GOOD THING THIS LAPTOP COMES WITH A WARRANTY WITH ASUS. I thought i had thoroughly researched all the pros and cons based on the reviews I've watched and read, even consulted with friends who were more knowledgeable with computers. I had to replace my fan two months into having this laptop. Yes, you heard me, TWO MONTHS IN. There was a rattling noise that I could hear through my noise cancelling headphones, even with music on, and I had to bang the left side of the laptop where my palm was resting consistently. I thought maybe some dust was in it, so I tried cleaning it myself but it just persisted to the point where I contacted Asus and sent it in to the repair facility. I had heard mixed reviews about the Asus repair facility so I was nervous, but they sent it to me a month later, with updates through email, and the fan has been working fine with no rattling noise ever since. Turns out, this specific laptop has a very cheaply made fan that people did have to replace sooner than usual. However this wasn't an issue that was specified in the youtube videos I watched or low rating amazon reviews from users that have already used this laptop. BE AWARE THAT YOU MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE THE FAN AND USE THAT WARRANTY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE (i paid nothing for this fix as it was covered, although Asus does repair ASUS Laptops with a price too if your warranty has expired). 2. The keys. The keys are a mess, and I'm saying this while typing without a D key as it split in half and completely fallen off, refusing to attach to the hinge. Obviously with very consistent use, the keys will wear out. However I started noticing wearing of the keys about 5 months in, and my A S D F keys are completely worn off. My shift key has even split in half, next to the D key (which i already bought a replacement for). I've already ordered a keyboard cover (aliexpress), and perhaps you should too..along with a few key replacements too. Overall, a 4/5. For a temporary laptop for gaming, it's here to stay until I upgrade to an official PC set up to stream. For beginners or even intermediate user that just need a to go laptop, this is a bang for your buck. Hopefully this has helped, and happy gaming!

Fantastic laptop at this price range.... - 15" 120 hz display - most other laptop selling at $200 more doesn't have this. - Gtx1650 runs most games well enougH - You will do well to add on some additional ssd and ddr4 ram at a minimum investment

I use it for gaming. Good purchase!

Excelente equipo, tiene un excelente desempeño para el precio que estás pagando y por la tarjeta gráfica que tiene ufff, es una excelente opción sí no quieres invertir demasiado dinero, tiene muy buen material de construcción, se siente muy solido, para trabajo cotidiano no hace ruido, me gusta que el segundo ventilador que es para la GPU también funciona para refrigerar la CPU, así que si solo la usas para trabajar en cosas cotidianas estará excelentemente refrigerada. En cuanto a juegos, los que he probado y me corren a 60 fps son, halo reach, fortnite, gears 5, metro exodus y todos en gráficas altas. Lo único que no me gustó fue el touchpad, ya que se siente muy flojo, no se si sea normal ya que en reviews que vi comentan lo mismo, igual no tengo problema con eso porque uso mouse, pero de ahí en más todo excelente. ACTUALIZACIÓN 10/03/2020 En algunas ocasiones el equipo se empezó a congelar y a dar pantallazos azules, pero se solucionó actualizando el bios a la version 310 ACTUALIZACION 16/04/2020 Hace una semana he empezado a escuchar que el ventilador del lado izquierdo hace un ruido un poco molesto si levanto el equipo a unos 45 grados, como si estuviera rozando con la superficie de la tapa de abajo, me puede confirmar alguien si también le pasa?

Of all the ASUS TUF models in this price range I think this one is the best value. Fast SSD (you can add another), good video card and fairly powerful processor. Set up is easy and there is very minimal bloatware on this machine. Plays most modern games at med 1920x1080 settings at decent frame rates. Some downsides : All ports are on the left side. No SD card reader. Screen portion of case seems weak and flexes. Build quality isn't bad but just doesn't feel as "TUF" as I would have expected. For less than $1000 CDN it's acceptable. Backlit keys are nice. Full RGB colours but only one at a time.

Dije que a los seis meses daría mi opinión pero han pasado 8 y la verdad es que no me quejo. El único dolor de cabeza que a veces da es que se me desconecta el WiFi de la nada pero no pasa seguido y más allá nada de problemas, sólo uno que otro detalle pero son cuestión de Windows y no de algún componente. Las bocinas no sé como pero quiero pensar que gracias a alguna actualización ahora suenan muy bien, mucho más claro y algo más fuerte que en el inicio. Mi tecla C está perdiendo el color y es la única, no sé porque pero noto que es en la parte de adentro de la tecla, como que se "cayó" la pintura, fuera de eso nada. Resiste bien el polvo de la vida diaria y el hogar, ya que donde la utilizo es un lugar con ventanas amplias y a orilla de calle, así que noto el polvo pero trato de limpiarla diario. La pantalla aunque tiene leve rayones no se notan y ayuda mucho el hecho de que es de terminado mate. Por cierto, la tasa de refresco de 120hz es simplemente hermoso, no creo que vuelva a una laptop normal después experimentar y disfrutar día a día esta característica. Los ventiladores son buenos y espero que cumplan con la característica de evitar el polvo, claro no al cien pero sí en gran medida. Tengo planeado mejorar a 16 de ram pero no lo he hecho porque no he tenido ningún problema. He corrido The Witcher y GTA V sin broncas, también las versiones nuevas de AOE y un NFS algo viejito (Hot Pursuit) y todos son perfectamente disfrutables, claro que con The Witcher no se logra 1080 y 120fps pero si es muy respetable y perfectamente jugable. El teclado es muy bueno, preciso y se siente muy duradero, la iluminación me gustó mucho y la uso en su ciclo de colores para que haga "match" con el mouse Logitech que tengo configurado de la misma manera. El procesador no me ha dado ningún problema, los puertos aunque a veces los dejo con algo de polvo los limpio regularmente así que ninguno ha dejado de funcionar, creo que es algo muy fundamental a tener en cuenta para el correcto funcionamiento de éstos. La carga me dura aproximadamente 4 horas con un uso decente y vaya que es totalmente silenciosa. Cuando se conecta se activa el modo rendimiento pero una que otra vez (depende de lo que estés haciendo) se activan los ventiladores. Reproduciendo vídeo 4K definitivamente están activados pero no molestan, no me ha tocado problemas tampoco usando Photoshop CC ni Lightroom así que creo que para los que usan Corel o algún otro programa demandante no sufrirán de lag o algo más. La uso diario con esta situación de clases en línea y el micrófono me da buenos resultados, mis alumnos me escuchan y ven claramente, aunque queda a deber la webcam porque como siempre son algo mediocres en las laptops, pero al menos en el audio no hay quejas. Por los 15 mil pesos que pagué estoy totalmente satisfecho y siento que me va a durar mínimo de dos a tres años ya que trato de cuidarla y limpiarla. El SSD por cierto es muy rápido y aunque "sólo" es de 256 la verdad es que se agradece. Con un DD externo tienes la vida resuelta si es que requieres de más almacenamiento, o bien sustituyes el que ya trae por uno de mayor capacidad. En pocas palabras no me arrepiento de haber vendido mi Macbook Pro 2016 ya que gané muchas cosas positivas, aunque esta es muchísimo más gruesa y pesada creo que está totalmente justificada por todo lo que trae y brinda. Además noté que no se calienta tanto como otras laptops que he tenido así que definitivamente fue una muy buena compra. Y por cierto, el teclado que no trae la Ñ la verdad ni en cuenta, obviamente lo notas pero se configura Windows en español y asunto arreglado, es tal cual siempre hemos tenido nuestros teclados en México, quizás cuesta al principio pero después de un par de días vas a escribir las palabras con ñ y acentos de manera normal y sin ver ni una sola tecla.
