ASUS announced a new line of TUF Gaming laptops a couple of weeks ago and now two of the new models are available for pre-order. The TUF Gaming FX505DU and FX705DU are currently available for pre-order from May 2 to 12, 2019, and those who pre-order either of the new gaming laptops will have their warranty extended by an additional year (on top of the 2-year global warranty) and will also get a TUF Gaming Backpack worth PHP 2,499 for free.
As a refresher, the FX505DU and FX705DU are priced at PHP 71,995 and PHP 74,995, respectively, with the only difference between the two models being their display size (15.6-inch vs 17.6-inch). Both are equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 3750H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti (6GB), 8GB of 2666MHz DDR4 RAM, a 256GB PCIe SSD, and a 1TB HDD.
Those interested in pre-ordering either the FX505DU or FX705DU need only make a downpayment of PHP 5,000 at any authorized ASUS/ROG reseller to secure their order and the pre-order bonuses. Those who pre-order will receive a collection receipt which they’ll have to present when claiming their pre-ordered units on May 24, 2019, where the buyer must also settle the remaining balance before receiving the unit.
