Asus TUF Gaming FX504 review: Cheap gaming laptop that compromises too much

There are certainly things to like about the entry-level TUF, but there are also better deals out there for the money.

The Asus TUF Gaming FX504GD-ES51 is an entry-level gaming laptop with a comfortable and extra durable keyboard, easy access to RAM and storage drives for upgrades and generally good gaming performance for its configuration.

Against its similarly priced competition, the base TUF's display is disappointing. It has fewer ports and its hybrid hard drive is a bit slower than laptops with solid state drives.

If you're in the market for an entry-level gaming laptop with an extra durable keyboard, consider the Asus TUF Gaming FX504GD-ES51. Everyone else should keep shopping.

Asus TUF Gaming FX504G

The Asus TUF Gaming FX504G pairs a 1080p IPS display and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti power at an aggressive price. It's a solid budget gaming laptop, but suffers from short battery life.

Good 1080p gaming pep for the price. Crisp IPS display. Abundant storage.

Poor battery life. Touchy touchpad. No GTX 1060 or SSD options. No SD card slot or USB-C ports.

Bottom Line: The Asus TUF Gaming FX504G pairs a 1080p IPS display and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti power at an aggressive price. It's a solid budget gaming laptop, but suffers from short battery life.

Asus TUF FX504GD (Core i5-8300H, GTX 1050) Laptop Review

Starter gamer. Asus has made its inexpensive FX series even more affordable by reducing the battery capacity, GPU power, and number of ports. The end result is definitely easier on the wallet, but the TN display and primary HDD drag down the system.

2.5-inch SATA III + M.2 NVMe slot ; support for Intel Optane memory ; relatively low core temperatures ; no pulse-width modulation ; steady CPU performance ; inexpensive

budget TN panel; narrow color space ; strange CPU Turbo Boost behavior ; soft trackpad prone to fingerprints ; matte panel is slightly grainy ; no USB Type-C or SD reader ; more difficult serviceability ; poor internal speakers ; short battery life

We welcome cheaper and more affordable gaming notebooks so long as they preserve core features and offer a balanced experience. Cut too many corners and the drawbacks can become distracting. For $700 USD, the FX504 sacrifices display quality and...
