CONS

Slow hard drive plays spoilsportModest battery lifePoor audio from inbuilt speakers

VERDICT

The AMD Ryzen-powered Asus TUF Gaming FX505DY sits below the Intel-powered FX505 in terms of price but offers the same sort of sturdy build, attractive design, and upgradeability. Where it falls short is in outright gaming capability, speaker performance, and storage speed.

My senior colleague Swapnil, who reviewed the FX505, seemed quite pleased with it.
