[Nopenopenope]

ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DV 15.6" FHD 120Hz Laptop RTX 2060 6GB Graphics (Ryzen 7-3750H/16GB RAM/512GB NVMe SSD/Windows 10/Gun Metal/2.20 Kg), FX505DV-AL026T

It's my first time purchasing a laptop, I want a gaming laptop with some video editing capabilities. With the limited knowledge that I have I think this machine might be good but I wanna be sure, can anyone help me out .

Mobile 2060s are severely underclocked - a 1660 Ti performs the same and costs less.

Looks pretty good to me. The price is decent for the specs, and the Ryzen 7 CPU means that it should tackle medium-level video editing with ease. 

The only problems I can foresee you having are the same problems which come with almost every gaming laptop:

 

1. Weight. At 2.20kg or 4.80lbs, it's going to be a bit hefty to carry around in a bag for extended periods of time. If you're only going to be using it at home, that's fine, but if you're going to be constantly carrying it around, it might become a problem.

2. Heat. Gaming laptops are notorious for their heat output, because they're cramming desktop level (albeit downsized) hardware into a very small chassis. I would take a look to read some reviews of the laptop (if the exist) and see if people are saying anything about the cooling capacity. 

3. Screen size. The fact that the laptop has a 120Hz screen is great, but at 15.6", you may find yourself longing for more screen real-estate. This is up to personal preference, but it's something to consider.

 

Overall, the laptop looks fine, but I would advise that you take a look at some of the common annoyances people have with gaming laptops. If you can make your peace with those, go ahead.
