ASUS outs X560UD budget gaming laptop for Philippines

ASUS Philippines just released a budget-oriented gaming laptop with a rather unique design — the X560UD. Powered by up to Intel’s 8th gen core i7 processor and Nvidia’s GTX 1050. That’s not the clincher though, as it is quite possibly the cheapest GTX 1050 laptop locally.

The ASUS X560UD is encased in a 15.6-inch chassis with a Full HD 60hz Anti-glare NanoEdge IPS display. It can be outfitted with up to 16GB of RAM, a 1TB HDD, and a 256GB SSD.

What’s unique about the laptop though is that it has a blue and black color scheme rather than the common red and black and ASUS revamped the entire laptop’s design philosophy.
