TUF Dash 15 (2021) Ultra Slim Gaming Laptop, 15.6†144Hz FHD, GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, Intel Core i7-11370H, 8GB DDR4, 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 10, Eclipse Grey Color, TUF516PE-AB73

I tested this with a few games, all unmodded unless otherwise stated, and here are my results: Resident Evil 2 - runs fine on mid to high settings, does NOT run fine on max settings due to low VRAM Skyrim VR - runs fine on max settings, but I suspect that it will struggle with a lot of mods. Subnautica (MODDED) - runs fine in both flat screen and VR. Karnage Chronicles - runs fine Alien Isolation - runs fine on max settings Arizona Sunshine - runs fine on max settings Blade and Sorcery - runs fine on high settings, does NOT run fine on max settings Half Life: Alyx - runs fine on max settings CPU intensive programs that I've tested: FL Studio - runs fine Blender - run fine That should probably be enough to give you an idea of how well this thing performs. The fan does get a little loud, but I wear headphones, so it doesn't bother me. There is only 4GB of VRAM, which is not very much at all and seems to be the primary bottleneck on this system. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed that RE2 Remake wasn't able to run on max settings for this reason despite being a 4 year old game. I suppose it still looks good on mid to high settings, but I was expecting more from a 3000 series graphics card. Basically, it doesn't run games any better than my 1070ti did with 8GB of VRAM. Overall though, despite that minor gripe, I'm happy with it. It does what it's supposed to do.

This laptop is for someone who wants a laptop to take around and do productive work on and also play modern games at high settings. There are others with faster GPUS, but hardly any that can claim 6-9 hours of battery life like this one. There are tons of battery saving features, like a dedicated key to change what power profile to use. The 144hz screen auto sets to 60hz on battery so save battery life. Gaming on a AAA game at high settings, 30 fps, I get around 2-3 hours of battery life. Less demanding games can go more. Other contemporary laptops i've used can really only game for an hour or so while on battery. You can also set the battery life to be capped at 80% or 60% to extend it's usable life. I usually keep it on 80% and still have long battery life. And it comes in at a hell of a competitive price. #CPU The cpu is a bit lacking when compared to other 6-8+ core laptops, but it's a good tradeoff for the lower TDP (and less power consumption). It is more than capable for most peoples work though. It cannot be undervolted like any new intel chip, which I did not know until researching it. #GPU The 3050ti has been able to run any game I throw at it on high settings, and older games can be ran easily on my 4k monitor and the native 4k resolution. It can get fairly loud when gaming at high performance for awhile, I game with headphones so I don't notice it when i take them off. But this will be an issue for really any gaming laptop, especially one this thin. #Ports Thunderbolt 4 can be connected to external docks and external GPUS. Allows 100w usb c charging so you can run laptop off one cable, but keep in mind this is less than the 180wpower brick, and if you are gaming at high performance, it will slowly drain the battery unless you also have the power cable connected. I also got a 50$ external 20000 mah battery with 65w usb charging which can bring the laptop from 10-80%. Nice! It is annoying how the ports are all at least half way down the machine, as the top half is for the fan outputs. I am able to drive two 4k at 60hz monitors, an external HDD, mouse and keyboard, and charge the device all from a single cable. For those whose primarily use a laptop at a desk setup like me, and occasionally like to take it off to go work on the couch or bed or something, this makes it super easy just having the one cable. #Upgradeability There are 8gbs of ram soldered onto the board, and an additional slot, which I throw a 16gb stick in for 24gb. There is an additional m.2 slot which I put another 512gb ssd in. Speaking of which, the SSD is crazy fast. While looking up benchmarks for other laptops, this one easily beat them all. I don't remember exact numbers but it's there. #Display 1080p, 144hz. Good color reproduction, and clear sharp images. Does not look washed out or anything. Not the brightest for working in sunlight though, but it's usable. The screen cannot tilt back 180 degrees, more like 140 ish? I use a laptop stand so I cant have it as vertically tilted as I like, but for 99% of people this is a non issue. The hinges feel solid and don't seem like they will crap out or break off like other. #Keyboard & Trackpad The backlit keyboard (one color, changeable brightness with keyboard keys or using software, also has different modes like breathing) is solid. Key travel is not shallow and has a good click. I do not notice a difference in quality with my Mx master key keyboard. The trackpad is average. Not glass, but precise and not an annoying texture. Not much to say on it. It gets the job done. #Design and build It is marketed as a 'tough' laptop and while it doesn't feel much different from a normal laptop (and isn't metal, it's some sort of hard plastic polymer), I have had 0 damage in the year i've owned it. The Tuf Dash f15 is solid, yet lightweight and not annoying to lug around. It is thin and not too heavy, and has similar dimensions and weight of most high powered ultrabooks. It has an attractive design that reminds me of a razer or macbook, I wish it didn't have the 'TUF' on the lid though it is very subtle coloring thankfully #Bugs Glitches & Software This is the first laptop i've had where I have not encountered really any bugs or glitches. I have had BSOD but I am almost postive these are from the Dell TB16 thunderbolt dock i'm using. Even these have only happened 2 times in 3 months. The laptop is ran off of Asus Armory Crate service, which has features such as profile switching, game optimziation, system tweaking and more. It can be accessed via a dedicated key. It is not super lightweight of a program, but not overly consuming either. You can close the program in task manager and the laptop will not have any issues, just some features are closed off.

The computer came in very well presented, not a single scratch even in the box. Wanted to wait a bit to create this review to check the performance. So far the quality is great, I work with several softwares open at the same time. The only thing I noticed was that sometimes the screen flickers a white screen, I havent noticed a pattern as to when exactly this happens but it worries me a little. The screen also turns completely black after unplugging from the power cord, a quick search online told me its completely normal. This didnt happen before with my previous laptop, a 7 year old lenovo. Sometimes it freezes, specifically when I tried to view a video over media player. Had to uninstall the app. Also I would recommend expanding the RAM to 32 gb, thats what I will do very soon. Overall very good! I dont really use it for gaming, I needed a laptop with a good graphic card for work and so far its doing great, very recommended!

Acorde a las características, la compré para un sobrino y puede jugar de todo.

Es un equipo excelente para jugar en modo ultra ,pero algunos juegos muy exigentes como RE7 y RDR2,y juegos de mundo abierto solo alcanzan configuaciones medias para no perder FPS , para jugar en ultra a todo sin limites se necesita un GPU3090y quizas i9 pero si hay mucha diferencia de precios al dia de hoy como 40000 pesos mas o menos , su desempeño con emuladores es casi perfecto . Contrario a algunos comentarios los 8 gb de ram son mas que suficientes para la mayor parte de los juegos si optimizas y no haces multiples procesos a la vez , Mis unicas quejas hasta ahora son que la garantia que viene incluida para proteccion contra accidentes por 30 dias solo aplica en USA y Canada(muy injusto considerando que yo tambien soy humano y pague por ella ,deberia tener el mismo derecho que los ciudadanos de esas ciudades para usar ese beneficio considerando el costo del producto pero me siento discriminado por ello ,no se en que basa Asus que alguien de Mexico no tenga derecho a exigir lo que en teoria viene incluido) las politicas de devolucion del vendedor no son muy alentadoras tampoco por que no ofrece un 100 de devolucion a menos que el equipo se haya dañado en transito y este sin abrir , si lo devuelves abierto puede decidir el porcentaje que quiere devolverte , que no puedes jugar con la laptop cerrada y un monitor externo(tienes que dejarla abierta) por que las rejas de ventilacion estan en la parte superior del teclado y si no bloqueas el flujo de aire , y finalmente que en modo turbo el CPU aun con base enfriadora alcanza 93* C de temperatura (revisando en internet dice que el i7 puede operar hasta los 100* y no he tenido problemas de crashes ni nada por el estilo pero si es intimidante que se caliente tanto .Para conectar a un monitor externo hay que configurar por triplicado para que la imagen sea buena y no se distorsione o pierda FPS , se configura en la laptop primero(colores , graficos ,brillo etc) ,luego la resolucion de el monitor conectado a la laptop por hdmi desde el menu de configuracion (resolucion ,color ,frecuencia HZ)y finalmente solo en el monitor externo encontrar que configuracion funciona correctamente yo tuve que cambiar la de16.9 que venia por default por "solo por buqueda " y reajustar los colores en el menu de imagen . Fuera de eso es de lo mejor que hay en Amazon mx para gaming en 2022.

Excelente laptop, altamente recomendable para trabajos de diseño o jugar videojuegos

Estaba entre una lap o armar una PC, decidí la lap por lo practico y quedé encantado con ella. Muy padre tanto para jugar como para trabajar en proyectos personales. Muy recomendada.

Excelente equipo, el estilo gamer es genial, la duración de la bateria es muy buena y en general los productos Asus son los mejores y super rapidos. Un poco mal con windows 11 pero se cambio a windows 10 y todo mejoro un monton
