ASUS TUF FX505DT Gaming Laptop- 15.6", 120Hz Full HD, AMD Ryzen 5 R5-3550H Processor, GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics, 8GB DDR4, 256GB PCIe SSD, RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 64-bit - FX505DT-AH51

This has been an amazing laptop since I had purchased it years ago and still running strong. Has needed nothing. I added more ram to it. The quality and longevity is just great. I would purchase this laptop again. It may not be a high end gaming laptop but it does great for the games that I do play. You can install Windows on it or Linux Mint and it works perfectly. Worth the price.

Just Buy it, you cant beat the price/build quality/performance.Screen is beautiful, full HD 120hz and very bright.Keyboard feels great to type and play on.Battery is great, but keep in mind you need to have it plugged in to game of course.The Ryzen CPU is fast although it gets warm(more on how to deal with that below).The GTX 1650 can play anything @1080p med/high settings over 60fps no problemEasy to upgrade ram/HDD's as well!I got this mainly to play Apex legends(which it does perfectly @1080p 60-90fps med settings all day no issues!)And to start using Blender for 3d modeling and animation, which it excels at NO ISSUES!My Recommendations:Add a second stick of ddr4 2666 Ram, either a 4gb o 8gb. That will allow it to run in duel channel mode and increase the CPU's and integrated GPU's performance by around 20%Buy a second 2.5 laptop hard drive, it has an open bay for it. You can get a 2tb seagate HDD on amazon for around $50Make sure to go to your settings* and update windows fully, then go to Google and search "Amd Auto detect" and "Nvidia Auto Detect"" and make sure to update your GPU Drivers(you have two, one integrated and one dedicated)Download a program called "Ryzen Controller"(use google search). Once installed the ONLY thing you should do in here is set the "Temp limit cpu" to 80. This will help with thermals so much! Trust me.I see a lot of people on here giving bad reviews saying they are struggling during game-play, that issue is because the laptop will sometimes try to use the integrated gpu instead of the dedicated gpu. This is an EASY fix. Make sure your power settings are set on "High performance", and make sure you are plugged into power. If this doesn't fix the issue. You can go into the Nividia Control Panel>Manage 3d settings>Program settings, then choose your game and select "Use Nvidia High performance graphics"

This computer is going into its fourth year of existing with daily use, sometimes 5-10 hour days. Everything so far works and works well.I give it roughly twice a year internal cleanings to get out any built up dust. I also upgraded it last year from 8GB of ram to 16GB of ram and has done very well. I have called this computer my PS4, as its so far been able to handle anything I throw at it. I havn't run into a game yet it can't run, though maybe not on the highest detail. Then again I dont mind potato mode at times in various games.Some game titles ive been able to work with [Plus frames settings]Ark: Survival Evolved - Custom settings ranging from low to high. [Low settings on any extra cosmetics, like skybox, or shadows, Medium everything else]League: Max settingsFornite: Custom settings, doesn't like unreal engine 5, but hey this PC is using gear from 4-5 years ago.Minecraft: Custom settings between low and high.Various other games that can be rescourse hungry. Depending on the game, I was able to stream with it while also gaming some of my less resource hungry games. That was before the addition of RAM.I worked with the PC for about 2 years before upgrading the Ram. I highly suggest doing it on your own, it is super easy to upgrade. Plus well worth it for frame rate. Just buy the right item and plug it in basically.The only thing I have ever really noticed with this PC was when I bought it, I thought it was a lemon. It would blue screen randomly, but it was like after it got to know me it never did it again. Same with the wifi, sometimes it acts a fool, but is still stable enough to run. I do plan to replace it at some point in the future.The fans still work and do a pretty good job of self cleaning. There is very little build up when I go in and clean. I still suggest doing it now and again anyways to make sure everything looks okay.I hope to keep this laptop running until I no longer can use it[PC dies, or games just scale past abilities]. Its really easy to get into and work with. I for sure hope to get another Asus, I'll more than likely get an older cheaper one just like this one was [this PC was bought I believe a year or two after release].
