ASUS TUF GAMING

TOUGHER THAN STANDARD

Infused with the spirit of The Ultimate Force (TUF), FX505 passes a series of rigorous MIL-STD-810G tests, successfully surviving varying conditions including solar radiation exposure, high altitude, and temperature extremes.

Solar radiation testing ensures the laptop won't degrade even after prolonged to direct sunlight.
