Ok, here’s the idiots guide to the FX505DT:
Pros:
1. Solid construction. Although the casing is plastic, it seems durable and looks aesthetically pleasing.
2. Keyboard feels great. Adequate travel and firm feeling when you press the keys. The backlit multi-color keyboard lights are a nice touch, although they serve no real purpose as far as I can ascertain.
3. The screen so far has been wonderful. Has an anti-glare feature that helps in bright light. Beautiful refresh rate. I’ve read some peoples reviews who make it seem like the screen is subpar, but I have to adamantly disagree. Colors seem accurate and vibrant, and the refresh rate is great as I stated previously.
4. The specs are more than adequate for my needs. It is quick and responsive, booting up takes no time at all and opening programs/apps seems relatively effortless. With multiple tabs and programs operating at once, I’ve noticed very little lag.
5. Also worth noting is, setup was super simple. Before this laptop it had been a while since I had a windows based computer. They seem to give you more privacy options than I remember (although one has to wonder how legitimately they do to secure your user info and not share marketing metrics despite giving you the impression you can disable sharing your info. Time will tell I guess.
Cons:
1. Although this laptop feels durable and robust, it still does leave you wishing it was encased in aluminum or some comparable material. On one hand the plastic feels good enough, but on the other hand it feels a little cheap. For the price though I really can’t complain about this.
2. The trackpad is a bit touchy. If you use two hands to occassionally manipulate the pad, you will notice some alignment issues. You think your finger is right where your last finger was, but in reality it’s not. Perhaps this has to do with the the pad not being directly centered in the middle. It’s hard to explain.
3. Microsoft preinstalled some shitty apps and games that I deleted expeditiously. You may want to do the same.
VERDICT:
This is one bad ass laptop. It’s strong as is, but is also upgradeable in terms of RAM, space and WIFI. If you are looking for a capable laptop, great specs, great screen, and the ability to game, I recommend. It is worth noting, I just received this in the mail 4 hours ago. But so far so good lmfao
