X512DA-BTS2020RL ASUS Laptop
Q: Is the FHD screen a TN screen? or an IPS screen?
A: I'll answer my own question since I just got this laptop. I explicitly bought this because I was told by a Best Buy Geek Squad rep that it was an IPS screen (better viewing angles). So I got it and it is totally a 1080p TN screen with terrible viewing angles and bad washed out contrast ratio.
A: Yes it is upgradeable, it comes with 4 gigs embedded and one 4 gig stick. Crucial web site says it can be upgraded to 16 gig stick, giving a total of 20 gigs of RAM. I put a 8 gig in, and now I have 12 gigs. I hope this helps!
Q: What are the differences between the Asus X512DA and F512DA models?
A: From what I've found there are several different configurations for both the x512 and the f512 (as in either may have ryzen 3 or 5 or either could have have windows home or S) . The only definitive difference I can see between the two is that the x512 does not have an expandable RAM slot. The f512 can be expanded to 12GB whereas the x512 can only ever have up to 8GB.
Q: what is the maximum RAM capacity?
A: I can confirm that this comes with a 4 gigabyte Ram stick, and according to Crucial's website it can be upgraded to 16 gigabytes. I swapped out the 4 gig for an 8 gig and it works smoothly. It has 4 gigabytes embedded. So if you upgrade it with a 16 gig Ram stick you would get 20 gigs. Hope this helps!
Q: Can I do light gaming on this laptop? Such as sims 4.
A: My kids play Roblox so it should be fine. The kids love it.
Q: Is it good for gaming also if it is can it run rainbow six siege.
A: It is good for games. It should be good with that game.
A: Yes, the laptop suppport video-out, to an external monitor, using a USB-C and a USB 3.0 video-out adapter.
Q: Does this laptop USB C port support dual monitors in Alt-Mode/Display Port?
A: The USB-C only supports one external minotor using a USB-C to a video out adapter. To setup 2 external monitor, the other monitor needs to be connected through the HDMI port.
