Which was why I was initially disappointed when I brought it home and found out that it was beyond slow, much slower than the old laptop I was replacing. I struggled with it for several days, googling fixes for the "100% disk" issue and disabling services, running windows updates, removing bloatware, just hoping it would become zippy and I could get to gaming. Nothing really helped, and it was unresponsive to the point where it was unusable and I was on the brink of bringing it back. Not wanting to do that, I finally settled on trying a clean install of Windows - not the factory reset, but installing Windows from the image on Microsoft's website.

This came with a free download of COD4; however, it takes up 177gb!!! and since it only comes with a 256 SSD, I cannot even play the game that the "gaming" PC came with. Ridiculous to call this a gaming machine when you cannot play a game. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful I hope you're ready for top level gaming..., October 10, 2018 This review is from: ASUS FX504 Thin & Light TUF Gaming Laptop, 15.6" Full HD, 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8750H Processor, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 8GB DDR4, 256GB M.2 SSD, Gigabit WiFi, Windows 10 - FX504GE-ES72 (Personal Computers) This laptop is an absolute beast!!!! I am running Planetside2 on Ultra AND I turned on EVERYTHING...smoothing, fog shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom enabled, even motion blur!!! Zero lag 60+fps!!! I am not kidding!!! The screen is absolutely stunning! The 256gb solid state is super fast. There are zero moving parts inside this laptop!!! Windows 10 is running from the SSD so basically even web browsing is like 10 times faster than normal. You will be super proud as I am to own one of these. The fire in Planetside2 is so bright that I literally jumped back! The screen is so amazing! Anyway, as of October 8 when I purchased this on Amazon it is a brand spanking new model. Did I mention it even has a 6 core i7 intel processor??!! Buy this beast and experience games in Ultra like never before!!! I promise!!! |
