ASUS TUF Thin & Light Gaming Laptop PC (FX504) 15.6” Full HD, 8th-Gen Intel Core i5-8300H (up to 3.9GHz), GeForce GTX 1050 2GB, 8GB DDR4 2666 MHz, 1TB FireCuda SSHD, Windows 10 64-bit - FX504GD-ES51

I honestly don't know whether the people giving this computer 1 star are just snow flakes or working for a competitor. If they say this is the slowest computer they have ever used, then I want their old computer! Obviously they are buying this computer as an upgrade or they wouldn't have purchased it in the first place.I own a drone training facility in which I use 10 of these computers for VR flight simulation, and video editing. If you know anything about stimulation, especially VR, it has to look good and be fast! I have owned these computers for the past seven months. I have taken them to numerous outdoor vendor fairs, as well as trained teenage high school students, including international foreign exchange students and i have only ever had an issue with one of the laptops that fixed itself via bios upgrade.This is a great computer at a higher price point. At this price point I wish I could give it 6 stars. And no, I'm not paid for our in anyway associated with this company selling these or Asus. Btw I gave also been in the computer industry building/ computers for the last 25 years and i know something about what im taking about.

Great price. I added a sata III and its very fast. I have only had 3 problems so far. When I cloned the O.S. I kept getting lock up login screen. Eventually I did a clean install and everything worked perfect except the touch pad. It still doesn't work and there are no drivers for it on the asus website. Also the wifi seems to have a mind of its own sometimes. Its doesn't seem to want to start right away on reboot or start up. After about 3-4 mins it finally connects and I am usually good to go from there. Over all I am very happy with it.

This thin and light notebook computer was not purchased for gaming but for work. It has the correct components for how I use it, plus, it has an 8th generation intel cpu, has room for a SSD, and for up to 32GB of ram, unusual for an ASUS, but a pleasant surprise, from my past experience with ASUS, having made three previous purchases. In my business, I am constantly downloading large files (3-4 GB) and then watching the digital footage, maybe editing it, and re-editing it. This notebook is perfect for how I use it, and it's light and seems sturdy, though the case appears to be all plastic. It doesn't have as many USB ports as I'd like, but it has enough for the price point (isn't that why they have USB hubs?) and, of course, no optical drive, but I have a nice blu-ray external drive that cost me about $20, which is small, light, and handy to carry in the carry sleeve I bought to go with the notebook. It would nice if it had a docking station of some sort, but that wasn't a deal breaker, just an afterthought. The most important lesson I learned is to read the warranty before you buy the product, because, this one is only 1 year (which I knew), will not be extended by the manufacturer, which I didn't know, (leaving you to wrestle with the decision whether or not to take your chances or go with a third party warranty company that I have found, in the past, is a useless expense and then there is also, insurance that can be purchased, but I haven't done that either or ever) and allows the manufacturer to pick up almost anything off the street to replace or repair parts that need replacing or repairing, &, if they work, then it's fixed so far as the manufacturer is concerned; they've discharged their obligation under their warranty. Had I to do it all over, I would pick a manufacturer that only made repairs and replacements with new parts, if any exist out in the notebook world, or maybe they are all like that (haven't had time to read the other warranties, yet, but will before my next purchase). Analysis at this point is that was a smart purchase and everything functions as it should, though a ram upgrade is in the near future, as 8 gigs is tasked every time I use the machine, but adequate for now. I would buy another one, at this point, because of the price point, and pray it doesn't need any repairs. However, for 3-4 hundred dollars more, maybe a better warranty and machine could be had; that extra 3-4 hundred was not in my budget so I didn't really look. I'll be back if any important updates are in order.

I fell in love with this laptop and decided to buy it after reading a great majority of positive reviews that detailed how great this machine was for both business and gaming use. I bought this for myself mainly for gaming use, but I also wanted to use this product for school. The design is great, the body is great, the specs for the most part were great. But. When I would launch gaming applications such as World of Warcraft, it would only work for an hour max before giving me these "Blue Screens of Death," which would shut down the laptop, give me different stopcodes on each occurrence (media attached), and as the weeks went by, it would only work from 10-30 minutes max. Being a student, I NEED a functioning laptop to do my coursework and being a Military spouse, I cannot afford to get this laptop repaired multiple times. I got this product in early September and gave in and returned it to a repair vendor that was given to me when requesting for a repair via this page when the product is bought. The major troubling thing is that we never got confirmation that they received this product, or the status of the repair. We sent the laptop on either the 11th or 12th of October and didn't get it back until October 30th. I don't care how long the repair takes, but I expected to be informed and for them to do it RIGHT. I downloaded the Blizzard Entertainment (Word of Warcraft) application and the game wouldn't even load! I was so furious and just drained by all of these problems. The error it gave me was: "World of Warcraft was unable to start 3D acceleration," I did my research, downloaded GeForce driver and updated Nvidia (since forums stated the issue is because the graphic card is not present), and found out that Nvidia graphic card is installed, but it has been disabled! I am not capable to reverse this nor do I want to try, and I don't want to wait even longer for this problem to get "fixed" only for it to be more problematic. I am going to try calling ASUS for a refund. I have loved ASUS and their products for years, I am so drained and disappointed, I just want my money back at this point.UPDATE:I DID get a refund for this product but found out the customer service representative I talked to had schedualed for another repair instead of a return and we were lucky because we caught that issue right away. Extremely disappointed in ASUS after being a loyal customer for years. I got a DELL G5 gaming laptop and it is a thousand times better and the customer service people actually know what they're doing there. Save time people, go for another laptop.
