Can it run modern games?

At 1080p it handles esports titles and older games well. Newer demanding games need medium or low settings to stay smooth.

Is the RAM and storage upgradeable?

Yes. It has two SO-DIMM slots and room for both an M.2 SSD and a 2.5-inch drive, so you can add memory and storage yourself.

How is the battery life?

Short. Light use gets a few hours, and gaming unplugged drains it fast, so plan on keeping the charger nearby.

Is it too heavy to carry?

It is on the heavy side for a 15.6-inch laptop. It works as a desk machine or occasional commuter, not an all-day backpack laptop.

Does it have a backlit keyboard?

Yes, the keyboard is backlit, which helps in dim rooms. Brightness is single-level on most configurations.

What ports does it have?

It offers USB-A ports, HDMI, Ethernet and a headphone jack, enough for a mouse, headset and external monitor without a hub.

About the Asus TUF FX505D 15.6" Gaming Laptop AMD Ryzen 5 3550H 16GB RAM 256GB SSD + 500GB HDD GTX 1650

The Asus TUF FX505D is a 15.6-inch budget gaming laptop built around an AMD Ryzen 5 3550H and a GeForce GTX 1650. Its selling point is durability and upgrade room: a MIL-STD-810G-rated chassis, two RAM slots and space for both an SSD and a 2.5-inch hard drive. It suits buyers who want entry-level 1080p gaming and don't mind a heavy, loud machine. Against newer budget rivals it trails on battery life and screen quality, and the GTX 1650 is now entry-level, so expect medium settings on demanding titles.
