ASUS - TUF Gaming 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti - 256GB SSD - Black

What you need to know and how to upgrade: Only lacks in memory dept IMO Some say screen lacks but looks great to me. Not 144hz but who cares. I-5 10th gen seems fine. I upgraded the Ram with Hyper-X (by Kingston) to 32G CL16(LoweR CL# the better) 2666mhz DDR4 “Sodimm” which means smaller size for lap top. I didn’t have to adjust my bios. (16g would be good too) I upgraded the storage by adding a 1-TB m.2 NVME SSD Samsung 970 Evo-Plus 2280(physical size). All I had to do was allocate it by watching a 2-min YouTube video. Both memory upgrades cost me $300 together. $600 for the machine on Black Friday so $900 and I still have space for 2.5 data SSD or HDD, I believe it can take either. It edits video great (like 60+ gig videos) and I can’t wait to download games to it! Just got the steam app today. This is my first gaming laptop and I had to do hours of research just to find the perfect upgrades I listed above. Hope it helps someone. Have a good day!

Purchased this as a Black Friday deal. I needed to replace my 10 year old laptop for school. This machine is a better deal than your standard school laptop. I don't plan on running games but it can handle some games. I purchased a mouse and external hard drive. I love the custom color keyboard. The laptop came with some kind of dongle that I have no idea what it is for as there were no instructions. So far I've been very happy with this purchase and the machine is much faster than my older laptop. It connects to my TV via the HDMI cord (not included). The built-in webcam is satisfactory but I also purchased a HD webcam and USB microphone which I will use for podcasting.

Great laptop for the price. I purchased it as a gift for my gf’s kid and the little guy could not be any happier. Solid build, decent battery life for gaming laptop ( I have shut off turbo boost on battery and getting around 6 hours of life watching movies/browsing internet). IPS screen has decent colors and viewing angles. After some OS optimizations I got 60fps in WH2 at 1929x1080 with temp around 70c (turbo boost off), pic with settings attached. My older ASUS ROG with 1060 and 7700hq gets 90fps with same settings and was double the price, but on battery runs for 2.5 hours of watching movies/browsing web. All in all very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend.

It's a great device, its amazing at gaming. Hasn't given me any issues yet. So far. I'm impressed at this device. Its capabilities, and other features it has. The most thing I love is the keyboard. It changes colors. That right there made my day.

Very good budget laptop and probably around the high tier. It is worth buying it when on sale. You get good components and works very well in many tasks. It has upgraded ram, hdd and ssd for when you want extra speed or storage. Screen quality however is a disappointment. If I bought it for $800 instead of $600, I would return it. Screen is dark and hard to see at times and that just ruins the whole experience. I expect a bright screen with at least 75hz for $800.
