asus tuf fx505:-Design

asus tuf fx505s’ durable mid-range laptop but it doesn’t look like it. The laptop is well built with good quality materials. The bottom and keyboard are plastic, but the metal top with a sandstone finish also eliminates fingerprints. We didn’t notice any flex on the body or screen.

According to the company, the laptop has surpassed the U.S.S. Military-grade MIL-810G tested as claimed, resulting in better resistance to drops and damage to minimize the risk of possible structural damage to the laptop. The hinge seems sturdy, and you can easily open the laptop with one hand.
The design of the laptop seems to be inspired by some of the company’s ROG series laptops, but with a new treatment that makes the laptop look fresh and attractive, that’s one thing. good and enough to arouse the play in you. The best part here is that the laptop doesn’t have the ‘red’ accent, which also makes it look a bit more professional.

The top of the laptop has a metallic feel, and Asus has given the laptop some nice fresh lines with the shiny Asus logo. Game stream processing can be seen throughout the laptop, in the keyboard area, in the corners, and in fact on the back of the laptop.

This laptop has a 15.6-inch display with thin bezels or nano bezels as Asus likes to call it. We’ve seen this technology in a number of laptops from the ZenBook series as well as the ROG series. Now that the Nano Bezel has been included in the TUF line, it’s a nifty addition as no other brand offers such thin bezels in this price range. By reducing the bezel around the screen, the company has managed to reduce the overall size of the laptop, and the
notebook feels much more compact than others with similar screen sizes in this directory.

Speaking of the keyboard, the keyboard comes with RGB backlighting and a numeric keypad, which is a good thing considering the size of the laptop. The keys have precise travel and make very little noise when pressed. They also provide a good amount of feedback but are a bit weak and soft.

Let’s talk about the numeric keypad, the keys are smaller than other keys on a laptop. The arrow keys are placed in an odd position between the QWERTY keys and the numeric keypad.The up arrow is where the number “0” is, and the other three keys are shifted downwards, leading to a lot of typos. The WSAD keys are transparent, adding to the overall aesthetic of the laptop.

The laptop’s touchpad is also good, and like other Asus laptops, it uses the correct Windows drivers. The surface of the touchpad is smooth and it is also responsive and accurate. Gestures felt swift throughout our review.

In terms of I/O, the company has equipped the laptop with three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. But the main issue here is the placement of these ports as they are all placed on the left side of the laptop and there is nothing on the right except this large vent for cooling. Now that’s what bothers us since all the I/O on the left doesn’t make sense even though this is a gaming-focused laptop.Although the company says
gamers want the right side of the laptop to be free of messy wires. However, this laptop is not only used for gaming, and it would be nice to see at least a few ports on the right side of the laptop.

Overall, in terms of design, not much has changed compared to the previous generation TUF notebook, the FX504, except for the slim bezels and smaller size of the laptop making it more compact than the previous generation. its predecessor.

asus tuf fx505 –Display

Asus TUF FX 505 monitor features a 15.6-inch Full HD matte display with 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time, ensuring less ghosting time during gaming.144Hz is a nice step up from its 120Hz predecessor. Considering the price, the screen is acceptable and most users won’t complain about the screen. Good viewing angles, brightness is more than enough for most situations. Overall, the display of this laptop will appeal to most users.

asus tuf fx505- performance:

Our review unit comes with an eighth-generation Intel Core i7 processor paired with 16GB of 2666MHz DDR4 RAM and a combined 1TB FireCuda SSHD and 256GB of PCIe SSD storage. . While 16 GB RAM seems to be enough, the best part here is that it is upgradeable and upgradable up to 32 GB in case you need more power and performance from the laptop. . SSHD and FireCUDA SSDs are very fast and offer good read and write speeds, keeping the laptop running fast throughout the process.

Speaking of storage, as mentioned above, the laptop comes with a combination of SSD and SSHD drives and in our testing the laptop performed well and smoothly. The read and write speeds of both drives are fast.We tested the drive’s read and write speeds and here are the
Seq Q32T1 Read: 1730; Write: 627.4
Going back to the overall performance of the laptop, the eighth-generation Intel Core I7 processor handles all the usual tasks like a piece of cake, and while gaming, the processor also handles all the usual tasks like a piece of cake. manage to keep up with performance.

In terms of graphics performance, the laptop is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card. The 1060 graphics card manages to deliver excellent performance and can play most games at high graphics settings. without sweating. However, some open world titles like Witcher 3 or GTA may need to reduce the graphics settings to medium.

In terms of gaming, the laptop performed well and there was no lag or stutter when playing. We tried playing Call of Duty World War 2 for about 7 hours straight with a few hours of inactivity with the game running in the background. The laptop works very well.

The notebook comes with an anti-dust cooling system (ADC) with an enhanced fan for improved cooling. Asus says the ADC system expels dust through two dedicated tunnels built next to the fans to keep the fins clean.Cooling on this laptop is excellent and as we mentioned about our continuous gaming session.

Somehow, the laptop and its cooling system were able to keep everything cool, from the keyboard area to the surface underneath. The fan did a great job of automatically adjusting the speed based on the system load. However, the laptop also comes with a manual boost feature that allows the user to control the fan. Silent mode is suitable for normal browsing, watching movies, etc. In this mode, the fan noise is very small and not noticeable. Another mode is “Overboost”, which will spin the fan at full power to keep the laptop cool.While we understand that Overboost mode means overclocking the fan, the fan noise is too loud.

Charging and battery

asus tuf fx505 Overall, Asus has done a good job of managing the laptop’s heat dissipation.
In terms of sound, the laptop’s built-in speakers are only average, and the volume and volume are also lacking in clarity. However, gamers still use headsets when gaming,

so that shouldn’t be a big deal. If you want to watch a movie about it, we recommend using external speakers.The laptop comes with DTS headphone enhancements that change things the moment you plug in your headphones.

DTS Audio software allows you to tweak all possible settings and it also comes with dedicated
sound modes like Entertainment, Game etc. , we didn’t expect a great deal of autonomy with this machine. However, the laptop after a full charge lasted about 3-4 hours with Wi-Fi on, screen brightness around 75% and moderate usage.

On the other hand, when the load is a bit heavy, it only lasts 2.5 hours. It takes about 1.5 hours to charge the device.
