Although we didn't review this particular model, in our Asus TUF FX504 review, we were impressed by its good gaming performance and solid audio. The Asus TUF FX505 looks nearly identical to the FX504, and just about the only difference is that it has a reflective Asus logo on the lid. 

The build quality is solid and while the laptop offers an RGB keyboard, its overall design is subtle and doesn't scream gaming laptop.

At 4.9 pounds and 14.2 x 10.3 x 1.1 inches, the TUF FX505 is lighter and smaller than the FX504 (5.1 pounds and 15.1 x 10.3 x 1 inches). It's slightly heavier than and thicker than the Asus ROG Zephyrus G (4.5 pounds and 14.2 x 9.9 x 0.8 inches). 

If you're looking for a gaming laptop under $1,000 to be your companion during quarantine, the Asus TUF FX505 is a wise pick.
