Asus FX502VM [FX502VM-DM105T]

You can't tell by weight.

ASUS FX502VM is one of the thinnest (2.35 cm) and light (2.2 kg) gaming laptops at the moment. The FX502VM model is made in the same case as the GL502VM, but has a slightly more modest hardware. The main simplifications affected the screen (cheap TN-matrix) and the GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card (3-gigabyte version with 1152 microcores instead of 6-gigabyte with 1280 microcores).

Still strong

The FX502VM has been available for sale for almost a year now, which is why it uses the previous generation Skylake processor — Core i7-6700HQ. However, it lags behind the new 7700HQ (Kaby Lake) by only two hundred megahertz, which has almost no effect on the frame rate in games. The main thing is that four physical cores and eight virtual threads remained in place, as did the automatic Turbo Boost overclocking.

fashion metal

The body materials of the ASUS FX502VM are metal and plastic: the top cover and palm area are made of aluminium-magnesium alloy, and the bottom is made of plastic. 8 GB of RAM (soldered), which is a bit small, given that the lack of 3 GB of video memory will be compensated by games at the expense of RAM. It will not be superfluous to double the amount of RAM over time (there is one free SO-DIMM slot). And also install a fast SSD in a pair with a complete capacious (1TB), but slow hard drive, and then clone the licensed Windows 10 OS. But the main thing is that the main and non-replaceable components for a gaming laptop — processor and graphics card — the FX502VM has what you need.
