ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2023) Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD 144Hz, GeForce RTX 4070, AMD Ryzen 7 7940HS, 16GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11, FA507XI-EH94 (Mecha - ashen)
I bought an Asus A17 (called F17 by the way) to replace a 10 year old Asus ROG gaming laptop that came with a keyboard, battery and GPU. I'm hesitant to buy an AMD processor because I always prefer Intel. But I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of this AMD processor. I mainly use it for gaming and web browsing and I noticed the CPU temperature reaching 95°C while gaming. Although AMD and Asus say this is normal, I feel uncomfortable working at this heat for a long period of time. I found a solution online to prevent the AMD CPU from auto boosting and it now runs at 65°C without losing performance while gaming, which is great. The NVIDIA 4050 GPU is a beast and runs all my games on the ULTRA card without any issues. Overall, I'm very happy with this laptop.
Cons... No DVD, which wasn't a problem for me. There are only two USB 3.0 ports, but there are two USB 4.0 ports.
The visual issue for me is that the battery and hard drive activity status indicators are in the upper right middle corner.
It's distracting at the bottom of the screen. This problem was solved by placing a small piece of black electricity
Glue them together.
Pros...ASUS Support. I'm having trouble adjusting screen brightness after BIOS update.
I contacted ASUS technical support and they quickly helped me solve the problem.
The build quality of this laptop is very good, it is well made and durable. Only half thick
And my previous weight. The keyboard, keyboard backlight, and touchpad are all excellent. Local device
It also features 2 cooling fans and 4 exhaust vents, 1 on each side and 2 on the back.
