Reviews for the Asus TUF FX705GM-EW019T

80% Asus TUF Gaming FX705 review (FX705GM – i7-8750H, GTX 1060, 144 Hz screen)
Source: Ultrabook Review
The 17-inch Asus TUF FX705 series is one of the better value devices in its class. It's compact and well built, offers an RGB keyboard and optional 144 Hz IPS screen, performs fairly well, runs cool and lasts for a fair while on a charge. It does have its quirks though, and the most important ones concern the fact the the CPU/GPU reach high temperatures with gaming and don't perform at 100% of their abilities, at least on our pre-release test unit. Read on to find out why.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

8750H: On Coffee Lake architecture based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.2 - 4.1 GHz (4 GHz with 4 cores, 3.9 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
