ASUS TUF FX505DY

[Aliairstinger]

Hi, I am looking for a laptop under a thousand dollars for editing in Davinci Resolve 15 and I know from CES this year that Asus has announced their TUF FX505DY and their FX705DY. On the product page, it says the screen has a 45% NTSC rating. What is this compared to sRGB?

About ~55% sRGB

 

Don't bother buying one, Asus FX has questionable build quality and bad cooling, moreover the Ryzen specs aren't comparable with 8300H+1050

Ok, but based on my research, for dollar for dollar, AMD GPUs works better in DaVinci Resolve. What laptop would you recommend for under $1000?

The problem is, there aren't many AMD powered gaming/performance laptops and some of them are crap

Where are you from? Any other usage besides DaVinci Resolve? Any preference on weight and battery life?

I might do some gaming on the side, not much (more like barely), For weight, I would say preferably under 5 pounds and for battery life, I would be ok for a few hours, as long as I can get through a couple of American high school periods.

Lenovo Legion Y730 15 customize (lights off), Legion Y530 customize, Legion Y7000

HP Omen 15-dc customize, 15-dc0020nr

 

Note that both have default low sRGB IPS display (250 nits 45% NTSC)

 

Might want to wait for RTX laptops too

Is there an AMD equivalent to Intel's i5-8300H?

Ok, Is there any kind of AMD powered laptop you would recommend for video editing?

Helios 500 AMD, however it's very heavy and has poor battery life
