Review Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506LH
I want to share a review about the gadget which is the main tool for me to work as a computer administrator; the laptop I use is the Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506LH with an Intel Core i5 Gen 10 Processor which is suitable for heavy activities such as gaming, video editors, multitasking, and programming; I think this laptop can provide the performance needed for daily activities for IT workers in the office.
Gaming laptops provide a masculine impression to be used by women like me because of their bold design with dark colors all over the body, but as long as the performance provided can meet my needs, the appearance is not a problem for me. This laptop is built with a GeForce GTX 1650 GPU with 4GB DDR6, VRAM that provides sharp visual graphics that are also fast, and then there is a 512GB NVme PCIe SSD to support smoother multitasking activities.
Built with DDR4 3200 Mhz RAM with dual channel up to 32GB, it fulfills my multitasking activities more responsively and smoothly without any problems, compiling programs to render videos smoothly and 10% faster than 2666Mhz RAM. This laptop has a size of 15.6 inches with a chiclet keyboard and is dedicated with a separate Numpad key on the right which will be very useful for accounting tasks that require numbers.
The durability of this laptop, in my personal use, is very good for my almost two years of using and still provides excellent performance for daily work, some of the shortcomings I feel are the size of this laptop which is heavy plus the charger has a large size which makes this laptop less portable to carry
This Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506LH was released by Asus in 2020 and I bought it at an online marketplace from Indonesia, namely Tokopedia at IDR 14,000,000. Purchase Link

Pros & Cons
Pros
Discussing the advantages of this laptop will be very exciting, and many things can be exhibited by it, for a price below IDR 15 million we can experience using an Asus TUF Gaming laptop smoothly when playing games with fascinating visual graphics, and anti-slow multitasking deserves appreciation.
The backlight on the keyboard is very helpful when used at night with RGB colors making our users feel bored to touch this laptop.
For daily use, this Asus TUF F15 laptop is very reliable even though it is almost two years old, but I have never experienced a significant decrease in performance.
Cons
It's unfair if I only discuss the advantages of this laptop without discussing the disadvantages because no one laptop is perfect. The following are the shortcomings of the Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506LH during the last two years I have used it:
Its large size makes this laptop not too friendly for me to carry, weighing about 2kg plus a large charger that will make your hips feel sore when put in a backpack.
This laptop is indeed military-grade certified for its durability, but the Asus TUF is a gaming laptop for users with a budget below the Asus ROG, in my opinion, the durability of this laptop is not as solid and solid as the Asus ROG because the whole body does not use metal like ROG.
Conclusion
After reviewing the Asus TUF Gaming Laptop, this type of gaming laptop is suitable for multitasking and heavy gaming activities. Whether a gadget is good or not depends on the needs of its users, high and fast specifications will be maximally used by users who are in the world of gaming or content creators, and for users who only use laptops to do tasks such as Microsoft Office, they do not require high specifications.
