The machine is produced by ASUS and is a perfect laptop at an affordable price. It offers a great mid-gaming experience and is more than enough to run most of the popular games up to this date. In this article, you will read about the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505. Some of its features and its specifications. You will also see a correlation between the FX505 and its submodels.
Features
The ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 is a great laptop with a sleek design and a bulky build. The machine is far from the elegant gaming laptops but is by no means worse than them. If you are a fan of rough looks, you will lose this model. The colors are metallic with a yellow or red logo on the back and front of the laptop. The back carries the X design themes, and this makes it stand out a bit from the competition.
When it comes to the pricing, we can say that this is by far one of the most affordable gaming laptops out there. Especially when compared to competitors such as Alien or Razer. The price has dropped significantly since it was first listed. Of course, the various submodels cost differently due to the different technical specifications they have.
While we are on the specifications, we cannot miss saying that the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 is equipped- with a Rhyzen 7 processor, has a good amount of random access memory (32 GB), and a good enough GPU (GeForce RTX 2060).
As it is a gaming laptop, the cooling system is crucial. We all know that while playing heavy games. The machines often heat up. To avoid this ASUS has implemented a dual-cooling fan system in this laptop model. Although it does its job well with the cooling of your machine. The noise it produces can become quite annoying. Some people may not have a problem with this because they use headsets and other similar devices. But the fact that it is so noisy will trigger others. In the end, if you want it cooled down, you have to compromise with the noise, so overall it’s bearable.
Like many other ASUS laptops, this one has also passed the MIL-STD 810G standards certification, meaning that it can hold out on some light knocks or drops. That is not something you should try at home, so don’t. Being a military-grade laptop doesn’t mean that it is invincible.
