80% Asus TUF FX505G review: A gaming laptop packed with power
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
For Rs 1,29,990, the laptop offers solid overall performance. I loved the way it can achieve good frame rates on graphic-heavy games. My biggest issue with any gaming laptop is the poor battery life, and this applies to the FX505G as well.

Source: Ultrabook Review English Archive.org version
The Asus TUF Gaming FX505 is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best mid-range gaming laptops you'll find in stores in the second part of 2018 and onwards. It's a complete revamp of the TUF FX504 line and improves on important aspects like size, design, keyboard, screen and performance, but is still Asus's entry-level gaming notebook and corners were still cut in order to meet the lower price tag. Read on for the whole story.

Asus TUF FX505GE-BQ115T

Gaming laptops are now all over the place. We even have 13.3-inch gaming laptops as well. Whether they are necessary or not, it is just about being versatile and giving as many options as possible to customers. Having said that, in the early years of gaming laptops, we did not see anything cheap. Hardware was expensive, there were not enough manufacturers and most of the people didn't believe that gaming can happen on notebooks. But nowadays and actually a few years ago this changed. We saw almost all manufacturers coming up with new gaming models almost maybe not everyday but every month. Now we are going through another shift in my opinion. Budget gaming. The very first versions of modern gaming laptops were almost all expensive devices. With the advances in hardware technology, people don't want to spend much on expensive devices that will go obsolete in a very short time. The TUF series is Asus’ new budget line, in short I can say that. TUF stands for “The Ultimate Force”. It is a bold statement and unfortunately I can't say that it holds up to it; mainly because of the GPU. The GTX 1050 Ti was a good card when it was first launched. Right now, I think it belongs to the multimedia section more than gaming and even for budget laptops the GTX 1060 should be the first go to option. Of course each SKU comes with a different configuration. Intel’s 8th generation processors will be fine for a few years. As I said before the GTX 1050 Ti will not. On the other hand, you don't get many modern connection options either. 1x USB 2.0 and 2xUSB 3.0. At least a display port could be provided as well. But, I get it, it is a budget laptop, so the main focus is cutting costs as much as possible. I guess saying that the TUF series competes with Asus Nitro 5 series in terms of workmanship. Both cases are made out of plastic, so don't expect much of a stability there. One thing to criticize is the battery. With just 48 Wh capacity, you can’t play much on battery power. Definitely needs to stay close to an outlet. Would I suggest this device? Not as is. If you opt in for a GTX 1060, then it is suggestible. Otherwise forget about high resolutions in modern games. But if you say you really have a tight budget and want a gaming laptop, then don’t forget to check out the competition as well. You can consider the Acer Nitro 5, the HP 15 and even older gaming rigs with better GPUs. All high end processors are fine, just the GPU makes the biggest difference here.

80% Asus TUF FX505 review: Latest Intel processor and sturdy build make this a dependable gaming laptop
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
As with all gaming gear, the Asus TUF FX505 is quite expensive. But, in its category, this is easily one of the best gaming laptops you can buy right now. The Intel Core i7-8750H is a super fast performer while the Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU is fairly powerful to manage the latest gaming titles without breaking a sweat. I also adore the extensive heat management system and the butter-smooth 144Hz display. For competing at e-sports events, this is a laptop that can hold it for longer sessions while you are busy making a name for yourself. Surely, as a gamer, I would have preferred some crazy eye-catching design as well as a slimmer overall profile inspired from the ROG series.

Asus TUF Gaming Laptop FX505: High-end performer with robust build quality
Source: Business Standard English Archive.org version
Overall, The TUF FX505 with a new design, compact form factor, RGB keyboard, 144Hz screen and better wireless connectivity makes for good value for money at a starting price point of Rs 79,990 (The TUF FX505 is available in different variations ranging from Core i5 to i7 H processors, up to 32 GB of memory, GTX 1050Ti or GTX 1060 graphics and a 17.3-inch variant is also available in the FX705 series). Apart from the minor flaws, the commendable gaming performance and brilliant screen make it a good purchase without putting a huge dent in your pocket.

73% Asus TUF Gaming FX505 Review
Source: Think Digit English Archive.org version
The Asus TUF Gaming FX505 finally lives up to its "TUF" moniker by gaining a MIL.STD-810G rating, meaning it can easily withstand the abuse of day-to-day life. The performance of the laptop was also satisfactory with all our test games running on their max graphic settings with a minimum frame-rate of 100fps. Creative professionals could also use this for their editing needs as the laptop could easily handle photo and video editing, but showed some signs of distress while colour grading fullHD footage.

ASUS TUF FX505 review – fresh but still not fully polished
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 is a good all-around gaming device. To be honest, it doesn’t offer anything special against the competition which in this class is pretty severe. This device’s main advantage is its price. However, this has hit the build quality of the product since they are some squeaks when compressing the body with your hands. In this aspect, the MSI GP63 Leopard 8RD feels better, even though it doesn’t have the best build quality either.

70% ASUS FX505G notebook review – Punching up
Source: Htxt Africa English Archive.org version
Performance numbers are decent from a notebook that costs less than R20 000 and the build quality is fantastic. The specifications are great for the price and whether you're working or playing games the FX505G will be able to handle it. Our one gripe is the keyboard but it's a small gripe from an otherwise decent notebook.

Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T

Most of us have heard of the many cleverly named series of products hailing from the Asus brand and yet this particular gaming laptop model has a name that comes off as rather competent and fresh to the ears. The ever expanding brand presented us the Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T gaming laptop model, which is jam-packed with power and competency to the point that it is bound to amaze long-time avid gamers from past generation as well as the present. With an applaudable modern design and unrivaled rigidity, the Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T leaves its mark within the gaming industry as a much reputed console of choice for modern gaming titles. First and foremost, the impactful performance of the Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T is attributed to the incorporation of two powerhouse core components – the Intel Core i5-8300H processor unit and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics processor unit. The Intel Core i5-8300H processor unit has recorded a base performance speed of 2.3 GHz. Suffice to say, any processor unit that can achieve a base frequency exceeding 2 GHz is to be regarded as fast. Not only that, the activation of Turbo Mode through Intel’s very own Turbo Boost Technology can uncap the base speed up of the Intel Core i5-8300H unit to a maximum 4 GHz. This enables the Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T laptop model to perform almost flawlessly thanks to the power capacity that can be generated by the Intel Core i5-8300H processor unit. To top that off, the combination of this core component alongside the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics processor unit makes no room for lethargy nor sluggishness in regards to performance. This is due to the fact that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU is one of the latest hardware components that makes practical use of the NVIDIA Pascal architecture that can ensure delivery of brilliant gaming performance which does not exclude the seamless experience on Virtual Reality (VR) gaming. Apart from amazing core components lying dormant within the Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T laptop model, the device itself also boasts an eye-catching physical aesthetic design that is bound to wow even the most hardcore of gamers. The structure of the Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T is designed based on a rugged but polished military concept whereby it comes off as extremely rigid for a mere gaming laptop. This is true due to the fact that the materials that are used for the construction of the Asus TUF FX505GM-BQ189T model is assembled from aluminum Gunmetal Grey or Black sand-blasted finish that features a Radiating-X design.
