In order to earn the TUF Gaming name, these laptops must successfully survive a rigorous battery of MIL-STD-810H tests. Test devices are exposed to drops, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures to ensure reliability. Dependable even in the harshest conditions, the F15 is more than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life.
A 90Wh battery paired with power efficient 12th Gen Intel Core processors provide ample endurance for hours of web browsing and video playback, with fast charging technology returning the machine to 50% charge in just 30 minutes.

I use this laptop whilst at work for gaming. Its excellent. Performance is great, excellent for gaming i have been enjoying several games with great framerates. The display is good quality and clear – however i use a 180hz curved display in my Lorry and it works great with this. For the price of this laptop, i cant fault it. Great value.It is asthetically pleasing aswell, the backlit keyboard is excellent and all feels of good quality materials.Ive had this for afew months now using it every night and it has been faultless. Excellent piece of kit.

It was a good experience except for the terrible AMD gpu which freezes the screen, internal and external, every now and then desipite I disabled the iGPU from the Asus and AMD software. May be an individual bug. But 7600s is perhaps worse than a 4050 desipte having 10% better raw raster performance. That being said, this is probably the most complete package as both a laptop and a ‘mobile desktop’. So if you don’t hate AMD graphics (which ironically have better HDR presentation) and the price is okay, this may just be a good option.

Here’s my experience with this beauty called A16 Advantage Edition after using it for 10 days, about 5-6 hours a day:This laptop is elegant, well-built, budget-friendly, and powerful, excellent for both gaming and productivity. Before buying it, I did a lot of research, watching reviews and videos, because I wanted a powerful machine for gaming but also with good battery life. Since I invested €950 (I bought it from Italy), I wanted to be able to take it to a park or coffee shop without worrying about the battery running out.I ended up getting exactly what I wanted, or even better. Here’s my experience so far:–Noise level: I was initially concerned because my headphones don’t have noise cancellation, but even in performance mode (using G-Helper), the fans only reach around 4000-4500 RPM, I barely notice them.–Temps: At first, the CPU was hitting 95°C during gaming in performance mode, but after getting a €9 laptop stand, it dropped to 85°C, and the fan noise went down as well. I highly recommend a stand.–Battery life: I limit charging to 70% in G-Helper since I usually use it plugged in. With this setup—CPU on silent mode, GPU on iGPU, and the display at 60Hz—I get about 6-7 hours of battery life while web browsing or watching videos at 75% brightness.–Display: The screen is fantastic, with a 165Hz refresh rate and a MUX switch for direct GPU access, reducing latency. It’s also 16:10, so it feels bigger and looks great.But it’s true that the max brightness might not be good enough if you go outside on a sunny day (I fixed this by increasing the brightness in the AMD adrenalin software momentarily)–Keyboard/Touchpad: The only thing I don’t love is the keyboard; I wish the keys had a bit more travel, but it’s still fine. The touchpad is smooth and works perfectly.I did upgrade to 32gb ram and got an intel wireless card ax210 since in my opinion has better speeds than the one installed and bluetooth 5.3.I’m in love with this beast and it’s design not gamery is the best.

I’ve heard about Asus’ bios problems but went ahead with this purchase as it was an attractive combination of hardware for the price. Unfortunately, within a few months I’d witnessed a couple of BSODs and ultimately the bios ultimately failed around the 7 month mark. This led to data loss and an inoperative machine.Without this problem and the weak hinges, the laptop’s performance was splendid. Sadly, I’ll have to give this 1 star, in absence of a zero option, due to the device no longer working.

After 2 month of use I can finally write a review.Despite the late fashion to have monitors with back light bleeds supported by conpanies that try to sell you that as normal, Asus deliver a laptop with basically no defects at all.The chassis is easy to open and components easy to change, just mind the latency of the ram matches your cpu tho.Laptop come with a nice Carboard case and well packed.Last thing, if that can help I can play Space Marine 2 full HD , 90 fps max details with “Performance mode” so in a silent state , but if I want I can play at more than 120fps if I choose max fans spin and max power to the gpu in the turbo mode (So far the most successful mode on a laptop ever seen) .

it can handle any game easy, however it is quite noisy but does not overheat. The hinges are solid, its battery life is not great but thats not a problem becouse most people keep it plugged in most of the time. Dont make the same mistake as me and take the model with integrated graphics since it will boost the battery life alot. Overall great laptop, highly recommend it.

I am seriously impressed. After my so called best on the market Acer, I am delighted. Yes it overheats when playing heavy games but it’s expected with the size of the machine. But seriously in comparison to my old Acer it’s nothing – it’s very quiet in comparison. Likely the best on the market right now for the specs and price. Very solid, no issues with screen and build.Well one downside is the mouse pad having no actual buttons and getting oily very quickly but ah well I can live with that for everything else I got 😉
