So recently I bought a 2018 huawei matebook pro and it's pretty good except for games and sometimes blender.

But yesterday I came across a laptop that just seemed so much better.

It's the Asus TUF FX505DV and I think it's only available in Europe. So it has 16gb which is double than my current, an RTX 2060 compared to my MX150 gpu

It has 512gb ssd which is double my storage, but the display is only 1080p with a 120hz refresh rate compared to my 3k 60hz screen.

The price of the asus is the same as my huawei, £1149.99

 

Keep in mind I dont really play much games except for fortnite, minecraft, etc.

I also do 3D work and I'm starting to do Unreal Game Delvelopment

 

The point of this is that I really need help deciding what pc is worth my money and if I should exchange my current one.

 

Thanks

FX505 is mediocre

I've been told to stay away from the TUF series from Asus, forgot why, but you'd probably want to look at a ROG laptop from Asus if you like their designs.

Do you reccomend any of those laptops that are under 1150 pounds?
