During a special invite a few weeks ago, I’ve been given an opportunity to take a first look on the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DU.
During the short time I had I was able to hold and feel the laptop. And as the name suggests, the laptop does feel it can withstand not just the day-to-day but with the extra abuse laptops get in the Metro Manila commute.
While I wasn’t able to take a whole swing at the laptop, the initial exposure I had with it allowed me to to have a general feel of the laptop and how I’d imagine the laptop would feel like when you can have it on the daily basis.
ASUS has an ongoing pre-order promotion for the laptop which you can get the laptop along with extra items during the period.
