What do you think about the Asus TUF FX505DV? 

Specs

AMD Ryzen 7 R7 - 3750H 

Nvidia RTX 2060 

512GB SSD

16GB DDR4 RAM 2400 MHz

 

The price was at $1499.99

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you

I don't think i'd pay 1500$ for something that can get dropped and stolen so easily

typically you buy a cheaper devices to do portable tasks and reserve the expensive high end tasks to a system that is made for the job.

nothing is a worse investment like an expensive laptop that has no upgradability , expensive initial cost , expensive replacement parts that are proprietary , and a purposely short lifespan.

Oh I see. 

Other than that do you think this is a great laptop for the price?

you can buy a laptop if you want just don't be surprised when your 1500$ laptop only lasts as long as a 400$ laptop

yeah and i feel bad for those people because they spent so much and got so very little. granted it's nice getting paid to fix their expensive laptops but it's not like I can fix every expensive laptop on planet earth so I do what i can to lighten the load on repair techs and help some save money along the way.

it is ok, gtx 1660 is the best value right now in a laptop, a 600 $ will be enough for programing, gaming , all task out there, also is a safe bet , not to expensive, and money safe.

GTX 1660 is better than a RTX 2060?! What?!!! 

 

What am I looking for in a laptop that I need? I feel like everything is just generally expensive in Canada anyways... 

I would be happy to spend just $600 for a laptop. Help me find one please.

Under $1500 

What is wrong with the Asus FX?

Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-588F

Lenovo Legion Y540 15 customize / 17 customize

Lenovo Legion Y540 15 81SX000KUS: 60Hz display

 

Not so recommended but decent model: Asus GL531GU

 

Asus FX: Bad cooling, OKish build quality, Asus poor QC+QA and aftersales. Also 3750H will bottleneck 2060 in some games

I'm not a fan of the Lenovo brand. 

 

I see your point with the bottleneck. 

I guess with the CPU it has a GTX 1650 would be better? 

 

I don't like the look of the Asus GL531GU... 

 

I'm not looking forward to overclocking the laptop... As long it has good cooling I will be happy. 

If I was super serious about just gaming performance I would build a desktop PC not get a laptop.

all options mentioned above have good cooling

 

Consider Helios 300 then

That's way over my budget... 

 

It's hard finding the laptop that is thin and light enough that can also lightly game... 

I thought the GTX 1650 is a good enough GPU that can handle most game at high setting. Not Ultra but just high setting. 

I have another PC for higher performing gaming PC.
