Pros

Panel Full HD of 24 inches
144 Hz refresh rate
1 ms response time
Compatible with VESA mounts

Cons

No USB connectors
Low power speakers

When you're a hardcore gamer a regular TV set or standard monitor just won't cut it anymore. You need special specs to get the powerhouse gaming performance you've been searching for, ie: a good refresh rate and a quick GTG response time. Couple that with an extensive connectivity suite and look for all that at a reasonable price and there simply aren't that many monitors out there that measure up.

Having said that, today we're here to talk to you guys about a monitor that certainly does measure up, the Asus VG248QE, a gaming monitor that boasts a massive following due to its balanced specs and reasonable price. But, is this the monitor for you? That's what we're here to find out!

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Noisy fans when the system is overworked

Finding a gaming laptop that meets your needs and your budget has never been harder with manufacturers launching new mid-tier models left and right to try and satisfy every possible variation of a customer that could possibly exist. It used to be simple, you had high-end models and entry-level models, maybe a couple in between but since Asus and Acer stepped into the gaming field things have gotten a lot more diverse - fortunately for us -.

It is with that in mind that today we've decided to tackle the review of the Asus TUF506IV-AS76. A gaming laptop that's priced within the mid-tier but that will fulfill most user's needs. But don't take our word for it. This laptop has some serious street cred with literally hundreds of clients vouching for it. Without further ado, let's get on with the review!

Pros

Ultra-compact and lightweight design
Dual Intel Celeron processor
Windows 10 S pre-installed
Wi-Fi 5 Connectivity

Cons

Non-upgradable RAM
HD Display

While it's true that netbooks are well past their prime in terms of popularity. It's undeniable that there's still a market of people who are looking for a compact, lightweight, affordable, and basic laptop that can perform your simple everyday tasks.

Why not use a tablet you ask? Well, it's because sometimes, some people, - and I include myself amongst them - would rather perform certain tasks such as typing on a dedicated keyboard or managing files on Windows instead of a tablet-based OS. Not to mention the possibilities that open up when having multiple available ports.

It's with this in mind that today we're happy to say that the netbook format is alive and thriving and today it's taking the form of the Asus L203MA-DS04. A nice, compact, lightweight, and extremely cheap notebook that will satisfy your basic computing needs as it has already managed to do so with thousands of satisfed customers.

[Review] Asus VivoBook 15 F515JA-AH31:A Good Student Laptop

Pros

Full HD display with thin bezels
Core i3 CPU (10th generation)
Backlit chiclet keyboard
Integrated fingerprint sensor

Cons

Limited viewing angles
4 GB RAM - Upgradeable-.

We've talked in-depth about the Asus VivoBook 15 F512JA-AS34 here on 9to5Gadgets. It's a great budget laptop and we can totally see why it's frequently amongst the top 10 best-selling laptops. That said, while that's a pretty good laptop, you might not need as much multitasking performance.

If that's the case and you're more of a casual user who uses his laptop for a couple of things at a time instead of having several programs operating at the same time then you might be interested in knowing the F512JA-AS34's (adoptive) little brother: the Asus VivoBook 15 F515JA-AH31.

Despite not belonging to the same series, the F515JA-AH31 packs the same features we've grown to love on the F512JA-AS34 but switches up the RAM from 8 GB to a more modest 4 GB capacity and slightly increases the weight.

By doing this they also cut down on the cost considerably yet leave the door open for upgrades down the line with the user being able to upgrade the RAM on their own.

Now, the question remains; is this laptop good enough for you? Well, that's what we're here to find out and we encourage you to join us as we uncover everything there is to know about a laptop that's competing alongside its brother for the spot of best-selling budget laptop in America.
