It has the correct components for how I use it, plus, it has an 8th generation intel cpu, has room for a SSD, and for up to 32GB of ram, unusual for an ASUS, but a pleasant surprise, from my past experience with ASUS, having made three previous purchases. In my business, I am constantly downloading large files (3-4 GB) and then watching the digital footage, maybe editing it, and re-editing it. This notebook is perfect for how I use it, and it's light and seems sturdy, though the case appears to be all plastic. It doesn't have as many USB ports as I'd like, but it has enough for the price point (isn't that why they have USB hubs?) and, of course, no optical drive, but I have a nice blu-ray external drive that cost me about $20, which is small, light, and handy to carry in the carry sleeve I bought to go with the notebook. It would nice if it had a docking station of some sort, but that wasn't a deal...

PUBG runs very well on medium graphics and still looks pretty damn good. Most games will run superb on High/Ultra settings. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful Laptop great, packaging scared me., June 30, 2018 This review is from: ASUS TUF Thin & Light Gaming Laptop PC (FX504) 15.6" Full HD, 8th-Gen Intel Core i5-8300H (up to 3.9GHz), GeForce GTX 1050 2GB, 8GB DDR4 2666 MHz, 1TB FireCuda SSHD, Windows 10 64-bit - FX504GD-ES51 (Personal Computers) The packaging was horrid. Laptop was flopping around with One thin sheet of that brown paper. No bubble wrap or anything. It had a two inch gap on each side where it was flopping around in the box. I was scared it was broken soon as I pickes it up. Now to get on with the laptop itself. It works very well. I play games like Dead by daylight and it hasn't lagged or been low fps or anything. It plays all my games very well. I was surprised to say the least. |
