Asus FX504G is a gaming laptop launched by Asus in 2019. So what is so special about this laptop for gamers that it has been making waves in the market for such a long time?
When it comes to Asus gaming laptops, everyone probably thinks of the ROG line more. But today I will review another equally popular Asus gaming laptop, the Asus FX504G.
Advantages of the Asus FX504G gaming laptop
Eye-catching design, optimized for gaming
FX504G impresses users with its unique patterned shell. Overall, it reminds people of a computer on an alien spaceship.
If you look closely, the machine looks very neat and not too bulky like other ROG lines. The entire case is made of polycarbonate with vertical scratches that give the feeling of being made of metal.
The device weighs 2.3 kg. This is an average weight compared to many thin and light gaming laptops today. This helps gamers to carry the device everywhere to play games.
The keyboard of this gaming laptop gives a very comfortable user experience. The keyboard has a fairly deep key travel. When I type on the keyboard, I feel the keys bounce. The key size and key spacing are reasonable. Therefore, I am confident that I will not be afraid of typing mistakes when increasing my typing speed or when playing games without missing a key.
The four WASD keys on the FX504G laptop are also highlighted in red. The machine’s backlight will have three brightness levels.
The touchpad on this laptop is quite spacious. It is decorated with 4 arrows that give the 4 corners a rather interesting look. The trackpad surface feels smooth to move, and the cursor response speed is as fast as when swiping below.
Of course, with a gaming laptop, the performance of the FX504G is more than enough to handle common office applications.
For the game League of Legends, I set the configuration to medium high. The average frame rate per second measured was 130 FPS. Continuing with the game CS:GO, I set the configuration to maximum. The average frame rate per second measured was 97 FPS.
Good heat dissipation
Regarding the cooling system, the device uses dual cooling fans. After more than 2 hours of playing PUBG continuously, the fan still has not switched to Overboost mode. The palm rest area at this time only feels a bit warm, not too hot.
Although the machine has the above advantages, it still has some disadvantages such as:
The screen border is still thick: The thick screen border of the device makes the screen feel smaller.
The speaker lacks bass: Listening to upbeat music or EDM is not very satisfying because the bass of the device is a bit weak.
Average battery life: The battery life of the FX504G is only 5 hours and 36 minutes. This is a battery life that is not really outstanding compared to gaming machines in the same price segment.
In short, with a price of about 22.5 million VND for a gaming laptop like Asus FX504G is a reasonable choice. Because the price of the machine is completely worthy of the configuration and performance it brings. This is definitely a machine suitable for most gamers today, or office workers doing graphics and design.
