Quick Look: ASUS FX502 - New Affordable Gaming Laptop?

Wazzup Everybody? ASUS is one of the popular and best-selling laptop brands in the Philippine Market over the fast few years from ZenBook to ROG Laptop series! Since some people can't afford Gaming Laptops, aside from the most popular ASUS ROG GL552, they released a gaming-capable laptop that targets 'Gaming for Everyone!' here's my first impression and quick look at the ASUS FX502!

ASUS FX502 is a portable laptop with Game-Ready Graphics, specifically the NVIDIA GTX 1060. Yes, folks, a mid-range laptop with GTX 1060. (Full Specs at the end of this article!) It's rocking with Intel Core i5-6300HQ clocked at 2.3GHz, 8GB of DDR4 RAM (that can be maxed out up to 24GB), 15.6 Full HD LED Display, 1TB 7200RPM SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 with 3GB GDDR5, and running on Windows 10.

for the looks, it looks like an upgraded version of my 5-year old X200CA Laptop. But I'm interested for the fact that I'm looking for a laptop that I can do both work and play. Looking forward to see this in person and test out its capabilities. ASUS FX502 starts at 69,995 and now available on selected stores!
