When you’re gaming on the best gaming laptops for Roblox, having a great cooling system can be advantageous. After all, poor quality laptops tend to forego good cooling systems; the Asus FX504 does not, and we thank it for that. Together with its GPU and CPU combo, you’ll get to explore most, if not all of what Roblox has to offer.

Why We Like It – Asus FX504

The Asus FX504 is yet another great option for enjoying Roblox thanks to its GPU and CPU combo, but its cooling system is truly the MVP here, as is its pricing.

Pros
  • Well above recommended PC requirements
  • Great cooling system
  • Perfect pricing
Cons
  • Only 256GB of storage
  • Battery life could be better

Performance & Battery

Under the hood of the Asus TUF FX504 Series is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti, Intel Core i7-8750H and 8GB of DDR4. That’s a better CPU than the Intel Core i5 inside the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Gaming Laptop. When compared to Roblox’s recommended spec requirements, this laptop exceeds that baseline, so much so that you can even enjoy the more graphically intensive game modes and modes that have large hubs. As for battery life, it’s about 4 hours. That’s neither bad, nor great. It’s average, at best. You also need to check out our ASUS ROG G531GT review.

Ports, Expandability & Build Quality

The Asus FX504 uses a combination of brushed metal and plastic to create the body, which provides a fair amount of durability, though not as much as the metal Asus ROG Zephyrus S Ultra Slim. The anti-dust cooling system is what provides the extended lifespan, with its dual fan design and 3-speed fan overboost cooling not just the laptop but also the 256GB solid state hard drive. From the storage to the RAM can be upgraded. Your selection of ports is average, at best, providing a single USB 2.0, two Type C USB 3.0, HDMI, LAN, SD card reader, audio jack, and a Kensington lock.

Value

The Asus TUF Gaming FX504 presents the optimal gaming performance to play Roblox, but to also enjoy some of the more graphically intensive game modes. At the same time, the specifications also open the door to enjoy other amazing games like World of Warcraft. More importantly, the pricing for this setup is right around what we’d expect. However, you can save yourself nearly $200 by purchasing a Lenovo L340 i5, if Roblox is the only game being played.

Asus FX504 Wrap Up

The Asus FX504 is more than perfect for Roblox, what with its GTX 1050Ti and Intel Core i7, but its storage and battery life does hold it back. Thankfully, it’s upgradeable and you can tweak the settings to drag out the battery. More importantly, when you are gaming the cooling system will keep everything at optimal temperatures.
