Asus says that the laptops have undergone strenuous testing ensuring that they can withstand extreme environments, ambient vibration as well as accidental knocks. “Both models shrug off short drops to a desk, and FX505DY is certified to survive higher falls. The hexagonal design on the bottom of the laptops adds structural rigidity and deserves some of the credit for their toughness,” Asus said.
TUF gaming laptops keyboards have ‘HyperStrike’ keyboard deck, which is basically a desktop-inspired layout with separated blocks of function keys and a full numeric keypad. In addition, there’s a wider space bar, offset arrow keys, curved key caps, and highlighted WASD keys.

Both the laptops have Ryzen 5 3550H processor. The chip has four cores and eight threads which are claimed to deliver “capable performance” for popular games and everyday work.
