ASUSF TUF Gaming A15 Gaming Laptop 144Hz FHD IPS-Type AMD Ryzen 5 4600H GeForce GTX 1650 8GB DDR4 512GB PCIe SSD Gigabit Wi-Fi 5 Windows 10 Home FA506IH-AS53 Black 15-15.99 inches

Overall, I'm really glad I made this purchase; I spent about two weeks pouring over possible replacement computers and comparing stats after my previous laptop reached its end-of-life. I wanted something that could run my games on the highest settings but also something that would be flexible enough to use for graduate school and professional work. I also knew I wanted something durable, as I use my laptop daily and plan to have it for many years. It's been a couple weeks since my purchase and here are my thoughts: Pros: - Fast. Even when the GPU isn't in use, this computer has no problem handling multiple programs, Chrome tabs, and documents open at the same time and running everything flawlessly. I don't play MMOGs but I do like simulation and strategy games and this computer can run them all on the highest settings without any issue. - Quieter than expected. The fans kick on periodically when I'm playing games, but even then it's much quieter than I expected from a gaming laptop. I can hear the whirring a tad if my volume is next to zero, but otherwise the normal volume of whatever I'm doing or having earphones in makes the fans unnoticeable. - Runs cooler than expected. Related to the fan note above, this computer stays cool. I will play with it on my lap in the evenings from the couch, and it's never yet been uncomfortable to do so. - Price. I didn't expect to find a laptop like this for under $900. (Taxes bumped it up slightly over $900, but still worth it.) - Keyboard - there were more backlit options than I expected. You can set the backlights to off, static (solid red), strobe (quick pulses in red), breathe (slower pulses in red), or color cycle (slow fade through the rainbow.) The brightness also has multiple options. The keys themselves have a comfortable, springy feel to them and it's comfortable to type on at length. - Screen/display. I haven't noticed any discoloration and the 15.5" display is a nice size for working on two documents side by side or having a video open while working on something else. And yest still small enough to slip it into most backpacks, if needed. - Design. I like the logo on the top of the case (instead of a company name) and there's a subtle ridged texture design around the keys/mousepad that has a nice feel and look to it. - Trackpad. I like that it has two buttons for right and left mouse clicks. Some users may not, but I prefer it. - Quick and easy set up. I was up and running quickly with no issues; set up was a breeze and there isn't too much junk software to sort through/uninstall. (It didn't come with Microsoft Office, which was fine with me since I can get it free through my school as a student... but if that's important to you, be aware that it'll be an additional cost for you.) Cons: - Battery life is good when not gaming (~8 hours) but lackluster when playing games (~1-2 hours). Still, any laptop with a GPU is going to lack battery power when running its graphics card so I expected this. - A bit heavy at 5 lbs. (Again though - weight is expected in a gaming laptop and it's actually not that bad at all compared to many other models out there.) - I've noticed the mousepad sometimes loses track of my touch. This has happens maybe once a week for a couple seconds? I plan to buy a mouse anyway, but the issue with the tracking is minor and infrequent enough to barely count as a "con". Overall, it's got a nice look and feel, it's got plenty of processing power to run everything quickly and smoothly, and the price is great.

Had this laptop now for around 3 years, am so happy for the time we had together, it worked so well and never failed on me. I basically played any game I wanted on it when I installed new ram ( 16 GB ). Perfect for any type of work or studying, just amazing. Extra Stuff: easy setup, screen was nice but turned a bit a weird after a while, idk if it was a tear but still was fine. It never got super hot for me, I'd say about normal. The sound was nice, I always had headphones so idk about the speakers, I'd say decent. The size is perfect for going anywhere, cafe, traveling, etc.

I've had this laptop for several months now. I use it for my college classes, gaming, watching videos. It does it all with no lag or hiccups. The backlit keyboard is one of my favorite features. You can change it to any color or shade you want. It also has DTS: X Ultra on it which lets you adjust the audio to different types of listening. I use it to enhance music all the time. It can even be personalized to your hearing which is great for me because I have moderate to severe hearing loss. The webcam isn't the greatest, but you get what you pay for there. It's not bad per se, but not the best either. I would have liked more hard drive space, but that's easily fixable with an external drive. The battery life is okay. I've had laptops with better, but this laptop will still go for a few hours on battery. It's also a bit heavy so if you plan to carry it around a lot you might want to be prepared for that. However, it's incredibly sturdy. I have no concerns about sticking it in my backpack with my textbooks. If you want a versatile durable laptop with excellent audio at an affordable price, this is the laptop for you.

its not terrible. the fact that it can run a heavily modded minecraft of skyrim (LE) is nice... i wouldnt recommend it for any games that released in 2020. great performance on ff14. the only big flaw i had was that the wifi card litterally started dying late june and i had to reset the bios and factory reset the laptop several times until it gave out around july 15th. battery life isnt terrible, then again... this is mostly used in the same spot in the house and not moved so its rare that i unplug it. maybe not worth the money due to maybe being able to build a desktop with better performance for the same cost, but for those lacking space (like i do) or who travel a bit: its not terrible... again the only major downside is the wifi card gave out after 4 months. i tried contacting support and while they helped me with fixing the issue at first by reviving the drivers for the card, the core problem of it failing did not in fact get fixed. (i have not sent it in to get replaced mind you). for now im just coping with an old ethernet cable run from router to the laptop.

The laptop feels fantastic and is visually really nice. The screen is fantastic as well - after some initial reservations about the hinges prior to purchase, the whole laptop feels very solid and reliable.

Works well and I can play all the games without any issues. Fan noise may be a bit loud when in Performance or Turbo mode. But games ran ok in silent mode depending on what games are played.

it runs beautifully, looks great, keeps itself cool the storage space on its hard drive is a bit small so i can only have 3 or 4 games or 2 big games downloaded at anytime.

Esta computadora es más que perfecta por el precio que ofrece. Diseño: El diseño es muy bonito, más de lo que pensé ya que en las fotos se me hacía algo tosca. Las luces RGB del teclado son muy bonitas, así como el diseño exterior. Performance: Gracias a su SSD y procesador es un cohete, prende en menos de un minuto y abre casi todo de manera inmediata. Juegos: Hasta ahora me ha corrido todos los juegos de manera estable, rebasando los 60 fps. A decir verdad, veo difícil que alcance los 144 fps en algún juego y use la capacidad completa de su pantalla, pero sin problemas mantiene 100 fps +/- en muchos. El único detalle es que hasta con el juego más pequeño prende los ventiladores al máximo y hace mucho ruido. La parte buena es que mantiene la computadora con buena temperatura, ya que el procesador Y GPU se mantiene en 50C +/- en la mayoría de los casos. Me atrevo a decir que corre cualquier juego sin problemas a 50fps o más. Batería: este punto probablemente es el más débil de cualquier laptop gamer, capando el performance no llega a mas de 2 horas de juego o 4 horas de entretenimiento en general. He leído y la mayoría de las laptop gamer tienen un performance similar, pero si buscas una computadora con buena autonómica definitivamente no es buena opción. La pantalla, gpu y rgb la secan muy rápido (puedes capar estas cosas cuando usas la batería para que dure más). Resumen: por el precio que la compré, no tiene rival. Laptops con peores o specs similares estaban más caras. Si quieres jugar cualquier cosa de manera decente sin llegar a lo extraordinario es tu mejor opción. Bonus: la descripción no lo dice, pero tiene un puerto extra de RAM para expandirla fácilmente. Asimismo tiene una bahía con un puerto SATA III (incluye el cable) para ponerle un segundo HDD/SSD, esto hace que mejorar la computadora sea fácil y rápido. Yo recomendaría aumentarle la RAM a 16gb (agregar 8gb) para tener la mejor experiencia en juegos, así como para hacer streaming de manera más estable si es lo que pretenden. La capacidad interna también se me hace muy limitada si piensas tener muchos juegos o guardar mucho multimedia (viene con 400gb libres), aumentarla no sería mala idea.

Es una ganga para las specs que trae. El arranque es veloz, menos de 5 segundos y ya estás en tu escritorio. La potencia gráfica es irreal, alcanza hasta 2K y 60fps estables sin forzar el ventilador. A más fps, el ventilador tiene una opción "turbo" que hace mucho ruido, pero lo corre sin problemas. Los materiales son de excelente calidad, eso sí, se quedan marcados los dedos, aunque un trapito de microfibra los quita rápido. Obvio el teclado rgb es un gran atractivo y super bonito; que esté en inglés es irrelevante cuando te acostumbras. Además, es un equipo relativamente ligero. Por supuesto, no esperes que la pila dure más de 3 horas. Recomendadísima para trabajo con edición de video, fotografía, audio, etc. Y puedes meterle más RAM para tareas más pesadas. Lo único que quedaria pendiente es una entrada de SD, pero con un adaptador la armas. Es una bestia y deberías comprarla ya.
