Asus TUF Gaming (FX504GM)

The Asus TUF Gaming FX504G pairs a 1080p IPS display and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti power at an aggressive price. It's a solid budget gaming laptop, but suffers from short battery life.

The ASUS TUF Gaming FX504 is a great gaming laptop given that you’ve got the additional 2 CPU cores for no added money. That with the NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti and the 120 Hz panel make for a much better combination. As for gaming experience, it isn’t completely out of this world as one would expect because of the improved CPU. The display panel is average but we’re not complaining because you get a 120 Hz panel at the end of the day and that’s better than the usual combination.

The Asus TUF Gaming FX504 is a budget gaming laptop with solid performance and audio, but its dim display may give you pause.

The Asus TUF FX 504 Gaming laptop is a decent machine for someone wanting a work horse offering flawless performance for regular usage along with the right prowess for modern day gaming. The price is, of course, one of its USP. This machine has got everything right but the only weakness is thedisplay. Of course, the display quality is not bad at all.

If the performance actually proves to be on par with the expectations, the Asus FX504 is definitely a solid buy across the board. If not, then I’d mostly consider one of the affordable i5 configurations with the GTX 1050/1050 Ti GPUs, and look at something else if I would actually need the i7 and faster graphics.
