The country’s most affordable GTX 1050-fitted laptop is here and the price is crazy unbeatable! Thanks, ASUS!

That price! O_O

We’ve seen this trend happen more often (and adopted a bit faster) in smartphones but for the gaming laptop market it usually takes a while before the tech that was once reserved for gaming laptops would trickle down to a more mass consumer market.

Luckily for us ASUS decided to speed things up and offer what is (currently) the most affordable Nvidia GTX 1050-fitted “gaming” laptop. While not part of the ROG (Republic of Gamers) portfolio, the ASUS Gaming X570ZD-DM209T has enough bells and whistles for ASUS to add the term gaming on the main product name.

Powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 R5-2500U quad-core processor, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, 4GB of RAM, and a 15.6” FHD display, the ASUS Gaming X570ZD is a great starting point for casual gamers looking to get their gaming journeys started.

Here’s a full look at what’s under the hood.

ASUS GAMING X570ZD

Processor: AMD Ryzen R5-2500U Processor, 2.0 GHz (2M Cache, up to 3.6GHz)

Graphic Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 with 4GB GDDR5

Display: 15.6″ FHD (1920×1080) 16:9 widescreen

Memory: DDR4 2666MHz, up to 16GB

Storage: 1TB HDD, slot for M.2 SATA SSD

I.O.: 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A/ 1 x USB 3.0 Type-A/ 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C™/ 1 x Audio combo jack/  1 x HDMI/ 1 x RJ45/ 1 x DC jack

Connectivity: 802.11ac gigabit-class Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth® 4.0

As for the price? This fully upgradeable laptop would set you back for only Php 37,995! While, yes, the video card is pretty much an entry-level for Nvidia’s 10-series, the ASUS Gaming X570ZD allows you to upgrade the RAM to up to 16GB and supplement the hard-drive with an M.2 SATA SSD! Doing so would probably bump total damage to somewhere along the 40-50 thousand pesos line — still cheaper (and now much stronger) than most entry-level gaming laptop in the market.
