  Whilst historically this is a good price, the "gaming" aspect of this laptop is disappointing considering the power of the graphics card. Would avoid. Better deals to come.

    This 3gb 1050 performs very close to 1050-Ti , as they have the same no. of cores albeit slower mem. with 96bit instead of 128bit interface

        world class question: which one is more expensive, the dentist or this laptop?

  GTX 1050, I’d call it a light gaming laptop

  • 

    dcep on 09/10/2019 - 19:17

    good enough for most games at 1080p60

    performs very close to 1050-Ti with same no. of cores

  Should run most games fine, just don't expect it to run them at high settings and still get a playable frame rate.

  Expect low graphics settings etc etc

  asus tuf is not bad at all at this price! for someone like me, who plays only older titles, and does need good cpu/gpu for photo editing this is a good base model. sturdy as hell.

  the only trouble is panel, only 45% ntsc color space. well, replacing that for 100% srgb coverage is about $100.

    Seedy seed on 09/10/2019 - 19:32

    Do tell me more, how do i replace the screen if it anoys me?

      [Deactivated] on 09/10/2019 - 19:41

      it's not hard.

      when I get to my laptop I will describe how to do it. did it so many times. or pm me when you get it

  Cheers Seed - how portable is this at 2.3kg? I haven't had a 15" for a while but it's going to mostly for home use while overseas.

  14" is kinda the sweet spot

    Seedy seed on 09/10/2019 - 21:45

    No problem, also im a 6ft 3 who does 70kg box lifts with a barbell. So no matter itll be ok for me 😂 as for you idk

      lol fair enough mate.

      The Huawei matebook pro actually seems to tick most of the boxes for me with portability vs light gaming. But it's only sold at microsoft/amazon. not to mention all the support stuff.

    2.3kg is considered heavy by today's standards, there are thinner and lighter laptops if portability is your goal

      Check msi ps63

        Wow, a very good suggestion for someone who values portability

          CyberMurning on 09/10/2019 - 22:38

          @Gorian4: Yeah. Known as 16 16 16 laptop.
          1.6cm height, 1.6kg weight and 16 hours battery

            @CyberMurning: Prestige 15 is the update of the ps63 with a 1650.

            At 1.6kg as well, looks to be a great middle ground as long as MSI is reliable enough.

            Will take a while for prices to drop though. $1799usd on B&H. JB has it for $2699 I think

              @G Wok: that is wayyyy over my budgets. truly i think people must be crazy rich to spend $2k on laptop. so many good and cheap at $1k range.

              • 

                G Wok on 10/10/2019 - 17:43

                @CyberMurning: Yeah I agree I'm looking at the $1k range too.

                I've been pondering the TUF505D all day because I'm moving overseas for a while next week and this is the last day I can order and still TRS. But at 2.3kg, I just think it's not quite portable enough to take overseas with low battery.

                I'm just looking for a daily driver that can play Dota 2/overwatch reasonably well.

                Is ps63 worth a look or maybe better to wait until Prestige drives its price down?

                The 1650 & 120Hz screen is a combo where the GPU can't quite reach those frame rates according to reviews.

                Very confused it's been a while since I've shopped for a laptop, about 6 years. My Sony Vaio is still going along quite strong.
                I am doing a short visit to the US in Nov maybe could pick up a laptop there.
