Asus unveils FX504 & ROG G703: Prices, features of 8th gen gaming laptops

145

Asus, the brand well known for its Republic of Gamers series and the FX series of laptops for dedicated gaming introduces the TUF series to offer relatively affordable gaming for entry-level players and ROG G703 for the serious gamers in India. While both the laptops are well-built and packed for gaming on the go, let us look at some of the features:


The FX504 sports a 15.6-inch full HD LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and comes in a plastic body with a brushed-aluminium look, which is built on the lines of Asus's “quad bladed” three-dimensional design. It is identical to the higher-range ROG series of laptops. The laptop features a red back-lit membrane keyboard, which is rated for up to 20 million key presses according to Asus.

The laptop felt comfortable for casual to hardcore gaming. The touchpad, on the other hand, felt sufficient for gameplay and carried out the windows 10 gestures easily. In my brief time with the machine, it performed pretty well and had no performance issues while I destroyed an army of Dire faction in Dota 2.

Asus TUF FX504 comes in a number of configurations; one can choose from the latest 8th gen Intel Core i5-8300H or 8th gen Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Firecuda Hybrid HDD along with 128GB SSD drive, and 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti graphics card with full Microsoft DirectX 12 support. The essential ports such as the USB 3.1, USB 2.0, and an HDMI 1.4 port are located on the left panel of the laptop.

The laptop weighs only 2.30 kg and is comparatively thin when compared to other gaming laptops but all said and done, the laptop runs out of power after only 2hrs of continuous use and can be annoying for many who wants hassle-free gaming for more than 2hrs.
