Review of ASUS TUF FX 505 - Laptop Gaming in Power at Ownable Prices

Review of ASUS TUF FX 505 - Laptop Gaming in Power at Ownable Prices


ASUS is a name that should be familiar to busy people. This Taiwanese electronics company is well-known for its series of computer components, computer devices, laptops, smart devices and gaming accessories consisting of various devices such as Republic of Gamers, STRIX and The Ultimate Force, or TUF.  Siri TUF gaming laptops were introduced earlier this year for those who want to have a gaming laptop, but don't have deep pockets to buy more powerful models such as models from the ROG and STRIX series.

ASUS Malaysia has delivered the latest ASUS TUF FX 505 laptops to us for review, and in this review, we will look at this laptop and share it for your money.

Specification

Starting with the specific specifications of this laptop, it is equipped with 15.6-inch screen exposure that has Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. You may also choose to get exposure that has an original fresh level of 60Hz or 144Hz for a smoother game experience.

The TUF FX 505 laptop is powered by a generation of Intel Intel CPUs, where your choices include Intel Core i5-8300H and Intel Core i7-8750H, 4GB to 8GB DDR4 memory and a combined 128GB PCIe SSD with 1TB hard disk.



In terms of graphics, users are given the choice to get a model that comes with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card, GTX 1050 Ti or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of GDDR5 memory.




What's even more interesting here is that ASUS places all of their I / O pages on the right side of this laptop, and it includes two USB 3.1 devices, a USB 2.0 page, an HDMI 1.2 field and an RJ45 LAN field used for internet connection. . Unfortunately this laptop is not equipped with an SD card reader like most other laptops.

ASUS also paid attention to the FX 505 laptop keyboard, which comes with the RGB Aura Sync lighting system, when the keyboard layout is processed using HyperStrike technology that ensures it is used by the user.

The TUF FX 505 laptop keyboard also comes with a WASD key that uses a white lock cover that takes on aesthetic aesthetics rather than an ASUS laptop, namely ASUS STRIX Scar II.

For this review, ASUS Malaysia has delivered to us the ASUS TUF FX 505 laptop with the specifications of the Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 8GB DDR4 memory and also NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics cards together with the original 144Hz exposure, which is the most premium specification for this model.

Custom

This usury ASUS TUF FX 505 computer arrives with a price tag that starts at RM3699, and in our opinion, one of the reasons why this laptop is marketed at a rather cheap price even though it comes with a specification that is said to be powerful is the frame made of plastic .


According to ASUS, this FX 505 laptop is authorized to release MIL-STD-810G expertise which is a skill that needs to be released for security purposes. Even so, built on this laptop, which is made of plastic as a whole makes us wonder about this fact. This is because even though this plastic frame on the outside looks quite firm, there is still a little flex on the exposure section and the keyboard.


Even so, our view changed a little about this plastic frame when we saw the scene of a product manager rather than a Malaysian ASUS jumping on this laptop, and showed that it was still functioning after the scene. This laptop may be more resistant than other gaming laptops, we advise you to not be too excited to hit this laptop to test its class.

ASUS also uses NanoEdge Display's frameless technology for this FX 505 exposure, where the 15.6-inch exposure comes with an almost frameless image on three sides, maximizing the exposure size in the smaller laptop frame.

Two sound magnifiers are located on the sides of this laptop, and for those who prefer to use head fonts to listen to songs, watch videos or play computer games, they are equipped with the DTS Headphone X feature that can support the head font with 7.1 surround sound audio .

With this TUF FX 505 laptop, ASUS introduces two different color creations, namely Gold Steel and Red Matter. The only difference here is that the Red Matter version comes with a more premium exposure cover and the ASUS logo that will light up red when in a dark space.

User Experience

As we stated before, ASUS Malaysia delivered the most premium models to us, and with the specifications stated above, we are very satisfied with the achievements of this laptop.

With an Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 8GB DDR4 memory and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, may we say that almost no computer games that FX 505 laptops are not allowed to play.

Game headlines such as Unknown Battlegrounds, Fortnite, Overwatch, Doom, Rise of The Tomb Raider players can all be driven by this laptop at Full HD resolution and high constant at frame rates higher than 60FPS without any problems.

What is even more surprising, the HyperCool cooling system with Anti Dust Cooling is able to cool this laptop system without any problems, even if it is used for activities that use CPU and GPU power for a long period of time


Fan noise may sound when we play computer games, but it is not so noisy that it disrupts our concentration when playing. In fact, we were rather amazed by this HyperCool cooling system because when we tested the gaming performance and ran a level marker test, we never once complained about the portion of this key board feeling hot.

One feature that we really like about this laptop is its screen exposure. Even if you buy the cheapest model with the original fresh content of 60Hz, it still uses the same IPS panel that promises good color and viewing angles, in addition to almost framed images using ASUS Infinivision technology.

This 144Hz feature is sure to be favored by those who always play FPS games such as Counter Strike: GO, Call of Duty and Overwatch which often attaches importance to the fresh, proper level so they can kill their enemies before they are killed.

Battery life of a gaming laptop is usually not so taken because most of the time it will only last for three to four hours, depending on the specifications of the laptop depth. This can also be said for this ASUS TUF FX 505 laptop.

With ordinary usage such as watching YouTube, Netflix, navigating web pages and writing articles with battery power, this laptop can last for more than four hours, and this is after we reduce the brightness of exposure to 50 percent.

We also tried to play computer games through an authorized battery, and as expected, he only lasted for an hour.

Test of Aras Markers

With this ASUS TUF FX 505 laptop, we also run several test markers to test achievements, and the markers we receive may be somewhat stimulating.

3DMark Fire Strike Extreme

Deficiency

Although we can say that the achievement of this laptop is above a very satisfying stage, there are still a number of cases on this TUF FX series laptop that we feel may be repaired by ASUS.

This TUF FX 505 laptop has five hours of I / O, and ASUS 'decision to put all these pages in one part of this laptop is rather strange.

This is because if all of these fields are used, it will cause one portion of the table to be wired with cable. At least they may put HDMI and LAN messages on the back so that the cables can look more packed. Speaking of Palam I / O, this laptop also does not have a USB Type-C device that is increasingly popular with laptop users lately to make it easier to refill their smart devices.

Not that it is normal, this laptop is also not equipped with an SD card reader. At our hunch, the absence of these two features is probably one of the ways in which ASUS reduces the cost of building this laptop. One small complaint about this laptop is that the location of the direction of the laptop is also a bit tight, because it sits really between the Control key and the number pad, and I'm always wrong when I use the direction key when I need to enter the article.

The sound magnification of this laptop is also rather bland when compared to some of the other laptops we have at the official. The quality of the sound magnifying audio of this laptop is like being covered with cotton and many audio granules cannot be heard clearly, and cracked when audio sounds are installed at a strong stage.

Can I Buy It?

If you are just a story of achievement and a price tag for a laptop, this is among some laptops that have the best achievement and the best price we've seen.

We should also say that the specifications of the TUF FX 505 laptop that was delivered to us are the most powerful specifications, and at the price tag of RM5560, it is still rather difficult for you to get a laptop that comes with specifications such as the next generation Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB memory and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card.

At the price of RM3690, you can get a laptop with an Intel Core i5-8300H, 4GB RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card, but if you want to get that model, I suggest you at least increase the amount of RAM to 8GB.


Cover

Honestly, we can say that the ASUS TUF FX 505 laptop is among the most capable series of gaming laptops that can be bought on the market now.

It comes with specifications and price tags that can be bought by busy people, depending on their abilities, and this is not something that many computer types out there can do.

What's even more interesting, even though at the most premium specifications and the highest price mark, this ASUS TUF FX 505 laptop is still among the cheapest gaming laptops on the market, especially when compared to some other makers of computers and laptops that sell laptops with the same specifications .
