Verdict: a good reliable notebook for photographers and video editors, not so great as a gaming platform

ASUS’ TUF FX504 that we reviewed is a conundrum indeed. The notebook is built to last but doesn’t have that much oomph as a gaming machine as is, requiring memory upgrades to take full advantage of the GTX 1050 GPU and to prevent memory bottlenecks.

Look past that however, you’ll realize that the TUF FX504 is a good workhorse for power users that won’t necessarily use the GPU for gaming, rather for other tasks like photo and video editing. In that use case, the TUF FX504 is a good investment, as it’s meant to last longer than comparable notebooks in its class, extending your ROI.

The TUF FX504 (as configured to us) is priced at Php 56,995
