## Description

FX506HF-ES51

Review: It's a nice device worth the money and not resilient for a laptop - First and foremost ( remotely possibly) this is the best computer purchase I've ever made for my wife, who is genetically toxic to laptops. She does NOT break things, *I* am the breaker of valuable antique crystal and china she cherish(ed), but my wife can break the body of a laptop just surfing, and I don't mean standing on it, as she is very lightweight! :) Seriously, she is tiny and the laptop ANGUISH over ruined and lost data ( before we started backing up her photos and copying mine in the process) was LEGENDARY. Apple knew, and many, not just several Windows OS computer companies also were hit with the death knell from our home. We MUST HAVE THIS COMPUTER IN OUR HOUSEHOLD and when it dies or becomes obsolete, if such a thing can happen with my mad computer skills, then it will be replaced with ANOTHER ASUS!!! They are almost indestructible. It is a fine laptop PC, great resolution, great streaming without any lags, and the color is brilliant. My wife likes that it is both color and sound adjustable and wanted me to mention this is a major feature for her to have the ability to lighten the screen should she desire. It functions perfectly ( I have now jinxed the very computer) and as far as I know the power can be set to be balanced. She never uses it on battery power except during a freaky storm power outage but says the power life is very good and she could use it for way over 8 hours with battery alone ( not continuous use, please understand -she has a LIFE). This and any of her clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, or her car are probably the things she would fight to keep in her possession against rational thought, insert big smiley face here for me please. Arm is being twisted. :) My wife tearfully confessed that she has tripped over the power cord and the laptop 'slid' to the floor about 3 times in about 3 years but " she is very very careful because this is her favorite of all her laptops now consigned to that sorrowful laptop junkyard resting place which has no coordinates on GPS because dead computers can't tell anyone where they are, can they? She says she absolutely would recommend it should anyone ask, She denies ANY spills of any liquids from any source, and as I have had to try to dry out the inner parts of others before this one arrived and I failed to resuscitate, I believe her. The 40 oz Stanley tumblers at least give her time to catch the laptop before they cause me to call out the carpet cleaning guy. NO laptop can withstand spills, of course. Hugely tech IT types will NOT like this laptop because they have that choice, but if it's keeping my life partner happy and productive with her doodling, I have NO complaints at all with the machine, or its owner. :) Oh, she added one small complaint about the keyboard which lights up like the Disney Parade if the user wishes: Even though she uses her colorful mini mouse with care, the " N" key has a large white spot in the center. Yes, honey, that is an infinitesimally small flaw.
Review: A Powerful Machine for Players - The first thing that caught my attention was the robust and attractive design of the laptop. The quality construction is evident from the moment you take it out of the box. The aluminum chassis gives it a premium feel, and the details on the RGB backlit keyboard are simply stunning. The 15.6-inch screen is sharp and vibrant, providing an immersive viewing experience. In terms of performance, this laptop is no slouch. Equipped with a powerful Intel Core i7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics card, it handles the most demanding games with ease. I've tried AAA titles and online multiplayer games, and the fluidity and quality of the graphics are exceptional. The loading speed is fast, and the system's responsiveness is remarkable, which significantly improves the gaming experience. Refrigeration is another strong point. The dual cooling system keeps temperatures under control even during intensive gaming sessions, helping to avoid the dreaded throttling and ensuring consistent performance over time. The battery life is surprising for a gaming laptop. Although I didn't expect it to last long due to the powerful hardware, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 exceeded my expectations. I can enjoy several hours of gaming before having to look for an outlet, which is a big plus for those who carry their laptop everywhere. As for storage, the combination of SSD and HDD offers the best of both worlds: fast boot speed and plenty of storage capacity for games, files, and programs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Looking for a new laptop that will withstand an alpha user meaning use it not just for gaming but for everyday and work- is this worth it?**
A: I've been using this as an every day driver since I bought it late in December.  So far, this has been a really great purchase.  I haven't played any games with it yet, mostly just due to wanting to save the SDD storage space, til I can get SDD dedicated to that purpose.  And because I also want to expand the RAM first also.
Honestly, this machine has performed really great.  For the pricepoint that it's at, I'd definitely recommend it for a daily driver, unless you're doing something such as CAD files, 3D modeling, or other really intensive applications.
I WOULD however, recommend looking into a good uninstaller program to get rid of the bloatware.  The OS Windows 11 is not exactly system friendly, then you add in the McCaffee GOAT that it comes installed with, along with the 2 Asus softwares, and she runs at about 53% RAM usage, without anything else running.
Also recommend a RAM upgrade.  The awesome thing about this machine is that it's only ONE memory stick IN the machine when it arrives.  Meaning that you can get just a SINGLE 8 or 16 GB stick to throw into it, without having to get doubles.  So it's an 8 GB stick in it, not paired 4gb sticks taking up both slots.

**Q: Does it have thunderbolt 3.0?**
A: It has thunderbolt 4.0 (and a jazzy sticker letting you know as soon as you pull it out of the box)

**Q: Will this run a golf simulator?**
A: Which one? I am looking for a fun golf game.

**Q: Does clicking work without the bottom corner buttons?  Can you just press down on just the track pad, and click, or are the bottom buttons necessary?**
A: Yeah touching down on the trackpad also
works as well. You don’t have to push down on the buttons for your click to register.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great entry level gaming laptop
*by B***M on September 3, 2023*

Let me preface by saying the last time I purchased a new laptop was in 2005 (Acer Aspire 3000) and while tablets are nice for on the go, my digital life was a hot mess. I needed something that wasn't wafer thin flimsy and that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I am by no means a gamer, nor do I play PC games but I was still looking for a laptop that had some heft to it. I stumbled across this one mainly because it was suggested by amazon and the price seemed right even though its a 2021 model. After reading reviews and comparing bewteen this and the similar price/spec Acer Nitro, I chose this one because upgrading the RAM and adding an additional SSD drive wouldn't require a doctorate in computer science. As far as upgrades are concerned I also purchased the crucial 64GB (2x32gb) set as well as a 2TB Crucial NVMe SSD drive when I ordered this as mentioned by an earlier reviewer. The install took all of 10 minutes to pop the back cover off and slip in the new RAM/SSD modules and I was ready to fire this baby up. I figured I would just max the RAM (64GB) and beef up the storage and be done with it so opening the back cover wouldn't be necessary any time soon. Initial setup was pretty straightforward with Windows 11 and once I got to the home screen I got into the settings and performed all the necessary windows updates as well as the updates for the bundled Asus graphics software. Aside from the McAfee antivirus and the Microsoft 365 trial programs, there was no other bloatware to be found. Once those were uninstalled I was able to customize settings to my liking. The laptop comes as advertised, I wasn't expecting 15 USB ports on this nor do I require that many. The keyboard is very nice and is a full size with a slightly smaller than normal 10 key number pad. Keys are nice and clicky, not mechanical but also not a mushy membrane either. The backlit keys are a nice touch and can be customised to your liking as long as it's all the same color. It has about four different modes for pulsing lights or strobe or just on always. The trackpad is great and has the physical right and left mouse buttons and it is mostly centered so you dont brush the trackpad when typing. Out of curiousity I tried the online benchmark test to see how this machine ranked, and surprisingly with the RAM upgrade it ranked in the 92 percentile range (see photos) and the graphics were very smooth ranging anywhere from high 60's to 130 FPS on ultra settings. As mentioned I am not a PC gamer but hopefully this information will be helpful for those that do partake. I may run some console emulators at some point, but for now I'll just be enjoying the soft glow from the keyboard lighting.
