Product Manuals
A: ASUS answer here is WRONG. It is a red backlit keyboard. You can't change the colors.
Q: Is the screen 144Hz or 60Hz ?
A: The FX705GM-BI7N5 comes with 60hz.
A: Yes, to all your questions. Sufficient for MORE than casual gaming. It has an Intel NVMe SSD series 600p that is a M.2 PCIe SSD. There is an empty drive bay that you can put another SATA SSD drive into. Like my Samsung 950 EVO drive. The Intel 600 drive is for a mainstream audience and more modest level of performance than most other M.2 PCIe SSDs. You have one 16gb memory module with space to add one more memory module. You have 3 USB ports. I use a USB mouse in the first. And then I put a 128gb USB 3.1 flash drive into the 2nd. This leaves me one more USB 3.1 plug for an external hard drive or my Blu-ray drive. If you want to install another drive, very carefully start at one corner after you remove all the screws from the case. Insert a plastic credit card and work-it, back and forth, to pop open the clips holding the case together. Work your way around the case using your fingers and other things to hold the case open. I would suggest that you add extra ram if you want at this time also so you DON'T have to do this again. 16gb is enough to do most things, including editing 4K video in Premiere Elements, (Intel Core i7 and 16GB RAM required for XAVC-S (4K editing)minimum specs).
A: It does not come with a media card reader even though the specs say it does. I bought this computer to be able to edit videos. What a disappointment. I inserted a media card converter to usb and the usb does not read it. Very very very disappointed with this false advertising. A Google search shows lots of complaints about the USB not working reliably. Tried to read the hard drive off my defunct computer to transfer data. It would only recognize the USB for limited amounts of time. I managed to get a portion of the data, then quit reading. Also the media file converter for the USB that I did get to read is only working intermittently. Really am disappointed in the quality of this computer.
A: This computer does not have a SD card reader, but there is a slot. If you are handy, you can add one. Even without card reader, there are a lot of easy ways to work with your camera: 1. Use USB cable to connect your camera and computer. 2. A USB external card reader is pretty cheap and you can get everywhere, put the card ito the reader and hook to a USB port then you can do the transfer.
A: 1. It is 8th gen 17 6 core. 2. It is GTX 1060 with 3GB (which is perfectly fine for a 1080p 60hz screen IMO) 3. There is a 15 inch, but not at Best Buy... its FX505 I think. 4. No one would ever call any GTX1060 powerful, but for me its the perfect card.
A: no sir, it comes with one 16gb ram and it has another empty spot that you can plug another 16gb ram in there
A: Download the Nvidia Geforce Experience app. It will automatically find the correct driver for your graphics card. And it will prompt you any time there is an update so you dont have to worry about ever having a driver out of date.
