Buying an entry level gaming laptop... Confused between the two.

[1212nO.ob1212]

I am in the market to buy a gaming laptop and was hoping to play GTA V hopefully at 60 fps in medium to high settings. These are the ones I could narrow down my choice to:

 

1. https://www.croma.com/asus-tuf-fx505-bq001t-ryzen-r5-windows-10-gaming-laptop-8-gb-1-tb-hdd-+-128-gb-ssd-4-gb-graphics-black-/p/218661

 

2. ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT 15.6" FHD 120Hz Laptop GTX 1650 4GB Graphics (Ryzen 5-3550H/8GB RAM/1TB HDD/Windows 10/Stealth Black/2.20 Kg), FX505DT-AL174T https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07RRQC2QN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jfnnDbBBTER55

 

 

The thing these two have their own pros and cons with one having a GTX 1650 but lacking an SSD and still about about ₹5000 expensive, while the former has a lower graphics card: Rx 560X. Which one should I go for considering I'm tight on budget and the expensive being a stretch too. Any other suggestion is also welcome.

Get the one with the 1650, it's far superior tot he RX 560 (+66% in UserBenchmark)

You'll kick yourself for getting the RX 560, it'll 100% be the bottleneck of the system. You can always upgrade the one with the 1650 to an SSD at a later date, which would be good because then you can do a fresh install of windows without all of the Asus bloat lol

A quick lookup of the teardown of the Tuf 505 series laptops shows that there's an empty M.2 port, for easily upgradability. Meaning you can keep the 1TB drive and throw in an SSD that fits your budget in there at a later date.

It's the cheapest I could get with all the above... Rest all are expensive, about ₹5-10k and even lack the ryzen 5 3550. Nitro 5, pavilion both have ryzen 5 2550 and are still more expensive.

Do you know why it's so cheap

[1212nO.ob1212]

Enlighten me, maybe. O thought it was the configuration with the cheaper GPU, rest all have a configuration with the Nvidia GTX 1050 or ti

Bad cooling, build material feels cheap, Asus poor QC+QA and warranty

warranty

It's one year for all laptops here whether it be dell, HP or Lenovo.

If possible, can you suggest some other laptops, maybe 4-5 options, I'll check their price.

The problem isn't the warranty period lol

 

What's your budget?

[1212nO.ob1212]

Ok man, you're quite better experienced than me, I've only had two laptops yet. One of them being an HP bs662tu which is a laptop noone would even recommend honestly and the other a Lenovo IP520. Both of them I haven't had to take to a service centre as of yet, and I got an HDMI changed in the Lenovo from a third party, bcoz here, in India, cheaper solution is what you go for period. It's not too smart but mostly works out fine and the company almost usually has the same people working but ask for much higher prices. So, please be a little more descriptive coz my experience with laptops is almost nil. So you kinda gotta be a little more patient and descriptive with me hehe. 

 

Also I have a budget of about under ₹60k + 2k with a lot of pleading. Plus, in India typically laptop prices are quite high, my only basis being amazon.com to check prices abroad.

 

Thanks for the help

Basically Asus warranty is globally known as bad - not helpful at all

I don't think there's any decent models

Lol... My research proved as sufficient and as hopeless. It's okay man, that's how it is with laptops in India. Either shell out a lot of money, that you don't have or buy a cheaper, worse model and hope it doesn't bail out on you before 2-3 years.

 

Still, thanks for taking out the time to help.
