ASUS TUF Gaming FX505/FX705
We first knew about the new TUF Gaming FX505 and FX705 during our trip to Taipei not too long ago. While details were hazy during that time, we now know the full details of what’s going on with the new TUF Gaming series of laptops.
The one notable change is the presence of the TUF Gaming logo on the laptop itself. Surprisingly, its predecessor did not have the TUF Gaming logo on the laptop even though it is called TUF Gaming.
ASUS announced a total of 8 variants, where you can get up to a Core i7-8750H, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of PCIe SSD with an additional 1TB hard disk, GTX 1060 with 6GB VRAM, and also a 1080p display with 144Hz refresh rate. You’ll also get a free, newly-redesigned backpack!
