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

This has been an amazing laptop since I had purchased it years ago and still running strong. Has needed nothing. I added more ram to it. The quality and longevity is just great. I would purchase this laptop again. It may not be a high end gaming laptop but it does great for the games that I do play. You can install Windows on it or Linux Mint and it works perfectly. Worth the price.

First of all, the 120Hz display makes a world of difference. After 5 years of 120Hz desktop displays, 60Hz displays look stuttery and slow. Once you get used to it, theres no going back, and now you can get one in a budget gaming laptop???The screens great, apart from mediocrity colour reproduction, but a laptop isnt just a screen, what drives the screen is just as important. The gtx1650 and ryzen 5 CPU do an adequet job of driving most modern games into the 90-100fps region at medium settings 1080p. Even though the gtx1650 isnt the most powerful gpu, its enough to see the benifits of 60+ fps gaming in most games, even if some settings may need to be turned down. I would choose 120Hz screen and medium graphics over 60Hz and high graphics anyday; perhaps laptop screens are too small to really notice graphical improvements from medium-high settings.The model I purchased only has 8GB of ram in single channel. I highly recommend upgrading it to dual channel for improved gaming perfromance- ryzen CPUs love their memeory bandwidth.Boots times and snappiness are noticeably better than my old non-NVME SSD laptop. In other words the included NVME SSD is plenty fast and really appreciated at this budget price point.I also added a extra 500GB SSD. Its alot cheaper to add your own extra storage than buying an upgraded everything laptop ($75 vs $300-400)Everything else is as it should be for a budget gaming laptop- usable keyboard, poor battery life (3-4 hours) average laptop speakers and a mediocre trackpad.Overall I am very pleased with the laptop, it does what its supposed to do: play videos games. In fact it does it fairly well with a 120Hz screen, and at a budget price point at that! The battery life is bad, the screen doesn't have popping colours like a 2 thousand dollar macbook and its not superlight, but thats not why I bought it, I have an ipad for word processing , watching videos and emails. If you want a solid gaming laptop at an amazing price I cannot recommend anything else- the 120hz screen really is a rarity at this price point.

This computer is going into its fourth year of existing with daily use, sometimes 5-10 hour days. Everything so far works and works well.I give it roughly twice a year internal cleanings to get out any built up dust. I also upgraded it last year from 8GB of ram to 16GB of ram and has done very well. I have called this computer my PS4, as its so far been able to handle anything I throw at it. I havn't run into a game yet it can't run, though maybe not on the highest detail. Then again I dont mind potato mode at times in various games.Some game titles ive been able to work with [Plus frames settings]Ark: Survival Evolved - Custom settings ranging from low to high. [Low settings on any extra cosmetics, like skybox, or shadows, Medium everything else]League: Max settingsFornite: Custom settings, doesn't like unreal engine 5, but hey this PC is using gear from 4-5 years ago.Minecraft: Custom settings between low and high.Various other games that can be rescourse hungry. Depending on the game, I was able to stream with it while also gaming some of my less resource hungry games. That was before the addition of RAM.I worked with the PC for about 2 years before upgrading the Ram. I highly suggest doing it on your own, it is super easy to upgrade. Plus well worth it for frame rate. Just buy the right item and plug it in basically.The only thing I have ever really noticed with this PC was when I bought it, I thought it was a lemon. It would blue screen randomly, but it was like after it got to know me it never did it again. Same with the wifi, sometimes it acts a fool, but is still stable enough to run. I do plan to replace it at some point in the future.The fans still work and do a pretty good job of self cleaning. There is very little build up when I go in and clean. I still suggest doing it now and again anyways to make sure everything looks okay.I hope to keep this laptop running until I no longer can use it[PC dies, or games just scale past abilities]. Its really easy to get into and work with. I for sure hope to get another Asus, I'll more than likely get an older cheaper one just like this one was [this PC was bought I believe a year or two after release].
