Asus TUF gaming deal
The Asus TUF FX506 is one of the least expensive gaming laptops out there that's good on performance.
The laptop in this deal packs a 15.6-inch (1920 x 1080) display, 2.5-GHz i5-10300H quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics, and a 256GB SSD. Although we didn't test this particular model, in our Asus TUF FX705 review, we praised its good gaming performance and solid audio.
Design-wise, the Asus TUF FX506 is solid and despite its RGB keyboard, it doesn't scream gaming laptop. When you're not gaming, the notebook's hardware is suitable for managing day-to-day tasks like creating docs, emailing, and internet browsing.
Weighing 4.9 pounds and measuring 14.2 x 10.3 x 1.1 inches, the TUF Gaming FX506 is lighter and smaller than the HP Omen 15 (14.2 x 10.4 x 1 inches, 5.4 pounds) and the Lenovo Legion 7000 (14.2 x 10.5 x 0.9 inches, 5.3 pounds).
Now just under $600, the Asus TUF Gaming FX506 is a solid choice if you don't want to spend a fortune on a gaming rig.
