In terms of appearance, the Asus Flying Fortress FX80 inherits the previous generation ‘four-edged’ incision-style family design concept. The overall body uses a three-dimensional design with ‘space warships’ and ‘future armor’ as design elements. The use of a brand new molding process also allows the fifth-generation Flying Fortress to be light as a swallow. It weighs only about 2.4kg and has a thickness of only about 2.5cm.
All gaming laptops should have a great cooling system. So the Asus Flying Fortress FX80 does. It uses a dual-copper dual- fan powerful configuration and a unique V-type fan design. Thanks to the Overboost fan boost mode it increases the cooling effect by 25%. At last, the brushless motors are used to ensure quiet performance.
