We crowned the ASUS FX505DY Gaming laptop as the best laptop under 40K last month and April, but that list is due for a change this June 2019. It’s still early to really say for sure at this moment what we’ll crown as the “NEW CHAMPION” but ASUS already has 2 heavy contenders in the running which is the ASUS X570ZD and X560UD, both with an NVIDIA GTX 1050 GPU!
These are sure fire heavy hitters because not only will you be able to play E-sport favourites, Dota 2 or CS:GO on ULTRA SETTINGS but they’re also good for work and productivity thanks to the RYZEN5 or COREi5 processors found on the X570 and X560, respectively.
The Core i5 is just a tad bit more expensive due to the more compact form factor, owing to the Asus exclusive NanoEdge bezels. Other than that, the specifications are the same at 4GB ram, 1TB HDD and a 15.6″ FHD SCREEN. They’re pretty basic but with the savings you get here, it should be enough to get you an additional 4GB ram or 120GB SSD and still be below 40K!
Check these out at ASUS stores nationwide.
