There is a lot of talk in the market about the RTX 50 series laptops. Especially about the RTX 5050. Many people thought that Asus would soon launch a laptop with this GPU at a great price. But what happened in reality? The Asus TUF RTX 5050 laptop has arrived, but everyone is surprised by its price!
I have said it before —The RTX 5050 is essentially a replacement for the RTX 4060., and the performance is almost the same. While RTX 4060 laptops are available in the market between Rs. 90,000–1,00,000, the price of the ASUS TUF RTX 5050 has been increased immediately after launch.₹110,000 So, the first question arises:
What happened to Asus? Why are the prices so high?
Let’s leave the price aside for now and take a look at the details of the laptop. The price may come down later—that’s what competition in the market dictates. And at the end of the video/review, I’ll comparatively tell you at what price it makes sense to buy this laptop and who it’s best for.
Display ও Build Quality
The biggest difference in this variant is the display.
Here it is:
- 16-inch IPS panel
- 1200p resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio
- 165Hz refresh rate
- 100% sRGB coverage
- Display brightness approx. 380 nits
Display color accuracy is quite good—those graphics, editing or color grading It is very beneficial for them.
Pro tip:
If you don’t understand the difference between 45% NTSC and 100% sRGB, go to a nearby store and compare the two displays side by side. The difference is obvious to the eye.
