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

Purchased on sale for $599.99. Asus makes the best laptops and are the king of motherboards. This laptop is built very well. Keys hug your fingertips. Quick tip. If you want to change the color of the background keys you have to hob to the Microsoft store and download Asus Tuf Aura. Then you can pick any color you want your back-lit keyboard to be.

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.

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.

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.

Really like this new laptop and it is very fast. Thanks

Metallic logo on the other side of screen started peeling next day, its sharp. They offered replacement, but no price adjustment. Once you set your laptop up for work you wont like to return it because of a peeling logo, right?

Unfortunately the webcam had visual issues right out of the box. There would be bars going across the feed as seen in the pictures. It would happen after using Zoom and once it did, you would see it no matter what app you used with the webcam. If you search the specific webcam model and driver within this laptop, you'll see other people discussing issues with it. We exchanged the first one we received, but even the replacement had the same issue out of the box. Everything else worked great, but our purchase decision had the criteria of a working webcam.

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!
