It seems that gaming notebooks are becoming more and more affordable as time goes by. Today, ASUS is breaking the barrier in affordable gaming notebooks with the ASUS Gaming X570ZD as the cheapest notebook with a GTX 1050. It’s even more affordable than the ASUS Gaming X560.
The ASUS Gaming X570ZD is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 R5-2500U APU with 4GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB. Users can also upgrade its RAM to up to 16GB while storage is courtesy of a 1TB HDD that can be supplemented by an M.2 SATA SSD.
The notebook will also come with 802.11ac WiFi, USB 3.1 Type-C Gen1, and USB 3.0/2.0 ports. This means that the ASUS Gaming X570ZD might be relatively cheap compared to the competition but it’s not skimping on important features.
