I just bought it for d2 and also making music !! I am excited to use it for music production, I feel free to finally go crazy with my projects since it’s so powerful and I have a nice monitor to go with it
my TUF F15 2023 also same design as this, although mine jager gray. great gaming laptop i've ever used for almost a year although i'm not sure about the hinge. temperature is relatively hot but the performance is still fine. mine is i7-12700H and RTX 4060
wait does it overheat? See i have a legion 5 rtx 3070 model so is it like worth to get this f15 with rtx 4070 instead? Because my legion is overheating to the point where simply adding new thermal paste wont solve the heating problem. I saw this video and this person said that the trackpad was the worst and that weird creaky sound it makes when you bend it is kind of offputting but the display i heard was really good, like it covers full 100% srgb.
@@renegadesg018 it does but only after playing for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. between 90°c and 100°c. hinge on these TUFs aren't great though, as mine had some weird squeaky noises
@@renegadesg018 na I just got it a week ago 4070. 2024. And it’s never even hit 75 when I have played it for 8 hrs straight. I’ve never even seen it hit 75 yet. So if that’s overheating then ok.
Bought one of these with I7 - 13620H (10 core), 4070 and 16 g RAM which ill probably upgrade at a later date.1150 out the door. Running it through thunderbolt dock, 3 screen configuration. Its really impressive for the price! I have an alienware M15 w i7 -11800h, 3080 and 32 RAM that is a work laptop. They run pretty much the same, but holy hell the TUF is sooo much more quiet comparatively. Really a great deal.
That is 2 hours while gaming and you should expect that in most gaming laptops. I have a 2023 model with rtx4050 and ryzen 7735hs and it lasts around 4 hours while doing light tasks for studying like youtube, browsing webs, etc and possible more if you use it in nvidia optimus mode, silent in Amory crate and turn on the battery saver option from Window.
Nice video. The price for this thing isn't bad at all. It's the type of laptop that's made for just gaming. Its no looker, speakers and display aren't great but it'll play any game you throw at it wonderfully
Absolutely. Basically perfect for anyone that uses their laptop as a portable desktop. Plug in a dock, a monitor, a keyboard and mouse, and you've got a very nice setup!
I got mine about a month ago, after seeing this video, with RTX 4070, 64 gb DDR5 RAM, 4 TB SSD, i7-13620H. I got it in order to replace my old RTX 1060. So far, it runs everything I throw at it with impressive results. Then again, maybe I'm just so used to the low performance of my old 1060.
@@DarkShadowReign Not really tips, but more like something I've noticed that bothers me more than it should. The power adapter is located next to the left ventilation, so hot air will constantly hit it while you're gaming. The cord feels like it's made of tough materials, but I still don't like my power cord getting hit by hot air. You'll have to position it differently somehow or put on a laptop cooler so there's some elevation to work with.
@@user-kf6fl5if4k Mine was more expensive than yours and I was wondering why so I looked up the $999 deal that you ordered yours for - I saw the reason. The $999 deal has 16 GB ram and 1 TB SSD. Mine has 64 GB ram and 4 TB SSD. All else is the same, though.

despite the build quality, having a laptop with that much performance and not super loud fans is a goodie ngl. this is definitely a laptop I'll consider buying for gaming. especially when hooking it to a external 1080p display, this is gonna be good for gaming!!
Just got the intel version 2024 of this, upgraded the ram to 32gb i think its a really good laptop for the price. Which i got for 1100$ us, already have a beefy desktop but i wanted something i could just chill with anywhere
I am mostly an apple user, but just need a windows computer for gaming. I don't care about display as I will use 2k external monitor. I don't care about bulky size. All I care is about performance, enough ports to connect to my mouse, hub, monitor, controller, headphone. I got all those great accessories, so why bother trying to buy a computer that do good in irrelevant aspects. I just got it for 1100 USD from bestbuy for the 4070 one. Hell yeah, this is exactly what I am looking for. Finally, got to turn on 144hz when I play games. Another great thing is the laptop comes with a free Black myth code, very good saving as well.
Seems the one I just bought and got delivery today , has a nice aluminum back casing around the screen instead of plastic . However the rest seems to be made out of plastic , but feels surprisingly sturdy . Currently charching the batterij , therefor no idea about how it will function yet . At this moment my only note of criticism would be the build in batterij . Making it impossible to swap the batterij for a new one when the current one might become defective . Also seems there are multiple variations of the a15 on the market . Each different in some details of its looks and hardware . And also multiple sizes .
Also do know about the optional possibilities to swap the ram memorie as well the build in ssd . Thus the manufacture has future proofed this puppy , allowing to extent its use by allowing you to swap memorie that over time might have turnt bad . And swapping the ssd when you would need and ssd whit more storage . And the possibilities to reinstall any operating software “ windows / Linux “ if you whis . Thus providing optioned and possibilities to allow you to extent its life spam for at least a owning and using period of at least 5 to 6 years before you should even consider ever burying a new system , gaming rigg or battle station . Therefor build to last , good for the environment , and good for your wallet 👍
I have a tuf A15 from 2023, its a 4050 with 7735HS does all my work stuff without a hitch and can do casual gaming without any issues its a good laptop if u are on a budget and buying a gaming laptop even though it has a low brightness display the color accuracy is pretty good compared to other cheaper options. The speakers are the only main con if u plan on using the laptop speakers for your use case. Anything else is good 😊
Ik heb vandaag 2 laptops gekocht TUF Gaming A15 FA507UI-LP015W voor 849€/stuk één voor mij en de andere voor mijn vrouw, in denk dat ik een goede deel heb gedaan. Heb deze bij Tones kunnen kopen deze gaan jammer genoeg sluiten in Belgie.
I like it when many people "recommend", many many people write/say that this laptop is good. I looked at this laptop purely by chance, when I started looking at a laptop a year later (then I couldn't buy it) I will buy! But I am saving up at the moment 😊
I just got mine in , seems and feels nice . Haven’t turn it on yet , as I am currently charching the batterij . But will try to remember to post maybe a few words about it later underneed this response . It might give a better idea . And for what I currently know , I whis you have the neccecery monny soon so you can buy this laptop 😁👍
Nice review. I have ordered this laptop. My version comes with QHD display (2560 X 1440) 165HZ. Very very excited🎉. How RTX 4070 will handle this display for gaming?
I'm neither feeling the cost cutting or poor build quality to be honest. I feels pretty solid to me and the screen isnt really bad at all. I also have a MSI Katana and that thing makes the TUF feel very premium.
I recently got the ASUS TUF F15 (2024) i7-13620H, 16GB RAM, and RTX 4070 from Best Buy for $1,099. I'm loving the performance so far!!! I also just ordered an additional 4TB NVMe. It's such an awesome upgrade from the GTX 1080 desktop I built in 2016. 😄
Maybe you know better than me, can you help me, i bought tuf f16 rtx 4060,i7 The only game i wanna play is nfs most wanted from childhood, and on this great machine i have lags and the graphics isnt smooth at all, tried with drivers, nvidia cp, armor creative, all that stuff.. but aint resolving my problem. The game is from 2005 and i cannot believe that i cannot enjoy it on this 1200€ laptop..
@@alexandar4943 If you've already checked your power plan settings to be in "Turbo" or "Ultimate" Performance as well as "Turbo" mode and "Ultimate" (GPU Mode) for Armoury Crate, have you checked your temperature settings while gaming? You may be throttled by CPU/GPU temps. I needed to get a better laptop cooler since I was experiencing some high CPU temps, so I got the IETS GT600 V2. Do you have any antivirus software that could be affecting performance?
@@GBBangin thanks for the reply but no i dont think it is a temp problem bcuz its a brand new laptop, all the mods tried and not working, for example other game like nfs 2015 works perfectly fine on even ultra settings
In terms of portability: Yes, touchpad, screen and speakers are bad. BUT: it's also very robust, pretty compact and light for 15,6", fan noise is low for a gaming machine and battery life should be good too.
What about the loading times in games? Is the built-in SSD's fast enough to handle games without a stutter and how does it compare to the M.2 ones that are installed after?
They're close in performance, but the Ryzen is slightly faster, and also uses a bit less power. I believe the 2024 models only come with Ryzen CPUs as well.
Im using the 2023 model and i love it. I think the screen is pretty good too and the performance is incredible. Its replaced my old desktop as i had to get rid of it.
I bought the 2023's TUF A15, Ryzen 9 7940HS with RTX4060..and yes, I'm happy with it. Decent price and performance ratio...it's a mid range gaming laptop afterall
I was contemplating on buying this model or the Acer Nitro V or v15, which one is better? I really want the Asus Tuf but I'm afraid because some comments say that the Asus tuf heats easily and gets frame drops.
I havent reviewed the Nitro V/15 yet, so I cant speak on that unfortunately. I do know that the TUF 15 has had very good temperatures so far, and definitely doesnt have framedrops or overheating issues. People that have those problems either have a defective unit, or don't have optimal airflow at the bottom
Got it for 620$ in india. I am happy then ever. First good spec computer after years of using low spec pc. And good for less money is awesome. I don't need to be careful looking at price. The budget price makes it more durable hahha kidding. But this laptop is good for budget and you dont need to be careful as we be with expensive.
I bought it for 62k withba mouse and bag free and windows 11 subscription free and am from tamil nadu it's 3050 rtx n 16gb how much is ur rtx where u bought it
Great review! Just a few things; I think the touchpad with your unit is probably sticky or faulty since mine doesn't make any extra noises like yours and you only hear the click sound. As for the speaker distortion... Are you sure it's there and Dolby drivers are installed? I crank up mine to 100% and never notice any distortion. And finally, it'd be much better if you benchmarked these laptops in more intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077 as a game like Counter Strike would never utilise the hardware at its maximum, especially on the GPU. Overall I think this laptop kinda sucks. It's mid/high-end in the budget tier laptops at best. If I could, I'd have added some more money and gotten a ROG instead. The performance at 1080p resolution is the biggest advantage of TUF over higher end laptops like G14. A 4060/4070 at 1080p will last you WAY WAY longer than it will at 1600p resolution. So there's also that.
Hey, can you review the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16' next? There are very few reviews of that online but it seems very solid for the price and has no real downsides to it for a gaming laptop.
that cause you bought the low end one i have the f17 does not do that every things is solid when you set up right its perfect speaker sound great bass ect
It's okay, completely depends on what kind of games you play. It will play CS2 fine, but might have trouble with the newest titles, or anything with RTX. But in general, it's fine!
which better asus TUF A15 or lenovo loq 15, i'm get confuse to buy my laptop since many people in comunity said lenovo loq had mobo and the temp is high
Should i buy the laptop with the rtx 4070 and the intel i7 12700h? It costs 1099€ because it is on sale. I want to use it mostly for school work and of course gaming. How long does the battery lasts?
I would suggest buying one with the amd cpu in it since its slightly more stable and uses less power, thus giving better battery life. But its your choice if the intel one is on sale.
i literally just seen this after watching the unboxing vid, i was looking for a new laptop that actually has a graphics card because my laptop that runs on integrated graphics sucks even on low settings 😂
It can absolutely handle the stuff you need it for. Its build quality is a bit meh though, which you should consider when buying something for long term use...
@@crimsontechyt what do you mean by coating? i know rest is plastic but the top lid is aluminium like many other. theres nothing about coating written anywhere
Hey man, snelle vraag, zou jij deze aanraden voor 1449 euro? Ik zit te twijfelen tussen deze en een lenovo legion slim 5 met een RTX 4060 voor 1249 euro. Ik probeer te upgraden van mijn zephyrus g14 uit 2020, maar ik ben een beetje lost hiermee. Wat is jouw advies?
Hmmm idk... De RTX 5000 series komt bijna uit, en nieuwe laptops komen rond januari/februari uit, dus denk ik dat alle laptops veel goedkoper worden rond die tijd. Maar als je met spoed een nieuwe laptop nodig hebt, zou ik er nu een kopen natuurlijk. Van een Zephyrus naar een TUF A15 zou wel een downgrade zijn qua bouwkwaliteit, maar ZEKER niet qua snelheid :)
I have the rtx 4050 ryzen 5 7535hs model, i loved the performance, design and other stuff. But i would say the display could have been better. 144 hz with 25 ms latency is not really good for competetive games. If you are planning for buying external monitor then go for it
Not sure why you'd play competitive on a laptop in the first place. External keyboard and mouse and plugged into a separate display, sure, but just as is makes no sense.
@@mydogeatspuke Yeah you are right, if you play story or singleplayer games it is fine. But i want to say that if i connect second display, keyboard and other stuff then what about the laptop's portability?
@@Iluvebp I don't know what it is that you want me to say lmao. If you want a laptop with an amazing screen, you have to pay a lot of money, and the battery drain is really high so it can't be used for more than an hour without being plugged in when gaming. Which makes it not portable either. But then I don't know why you'd decide to take a laptop somewhere without access to a plug socket (but does have WiFi??) to play competitive games either. Just play them at home. Or where there's power. And so also screens and peripherals. A powerful laptop with a good screen and a battery to support it for portability (and I guess using your phone as a WiFi hotspot so you can play CS in a field???) would cost significantly more than this laptop. If that's what you want, buy that instead. Or, well, as anyone who actually plays competitively at a good level would tell you, get a desktop because laptops are bad for that no matter how much you spend.
Hey crimson i like watching media content like yt and do a bit of light gaming i searched a bit about which laptop to buy on my budget i got 3 options can u help me out? Option 1: asus vivobook s16 oled pros are: amazing value,3.2k oled,intel core ultra 9 ( u can buy the new ryzen variant in it but it costs alot) ,thin and very light, has thunder bolt, has rgb which i like,has all ports that i need, super fast ram,runs cool. Cons: no gpu which is alright because u can plug in a egpu with thunderbolt. Option 2 asus rog zephyrus g16 2023 pros: it has a 4060,and i7 but h series, rgb. Cons: meh screen, poor battery life,webcam is terrible,heavy. Option 3 asus vivobook s15 pro oled pros: ryzen 9 7940hs and rtx 4060 (65w tgp),2800/1650 oled. Cons: it runs hot which i really dont like,4060 tgp is ok. (It may seem im fanboying the vivobook s16 and im not biased lol)
My rating would be: 1. Zephyrus G16 Battery life is **okay**, but not as good as on a G14, could be better. It has either an OLED or a **very** good IPS display, so imo the display is actually really good. And the speakers were REALLY good (although alot of people just use headphones lol) And the G16 is actually one of the lightest 16 inch gaming laptops, so weight was never a problem for me. 2. S15 A friend of mine has the S15, and has had very little complaints so far. Great display, nice keyboard and trackpad, and pretty light. His only complaints were the slightly low TGP of the 4060, the speaker quality, and the fan noise. 3. S16 I personally wouldnt recommend a laptop without a dGPU, since you'd be limiting yourself a LOT with how many programs and games you can run well. External GPUs are an option, but janky drivers and the heavyness of the enclosures dont sit well with me.
I think u meant the g16 2024 lol i said 2023 variant not 2024 😂 anyways i think ill get the vivobook because its soooo light for a 16 inch laptop and thin like 1.5kg light and that oled would be nice for media consumption.
@@crimsontechyt There are turbo and silent fan modes, and graphics card modes: ultimate eco standard and optimized. Which one should I use as GPU mode?
@@keremuvat9372 If you always have the laptop plugged in, leave it on Ultimate. It uses more power, but it does improve performance. If you use the laptop plugged in and on battery, leave it on Standard
Am having one but its performance is ultra and graphics are great with games like fc24 and rdr2. I recommend. And mine isnt soft and too plastic like this 😂
hi guys i want to buy this laptop but there a problem im living in Africa specially somali however there my cousin who lives in america so he coming to the country next month so i want to order this laptop but in amzon the laptop price is 599 so what i say to him/her to get this laptop any advice
That's probably the RTX 2050/3050 model, with a slightly weaker processor. It will definitely run games, but obviously not at the highest possible settings. I would say 600 is pretty worth it though. So if you're okay with the downsides I listed in the video, I'd get it!
Is this a good laptop like will it hold for another 2 years? I am looking to get 1 Asus TUF A15 Ryzen 7 7735HS 16GB 512GB SSD RTX4050 6GB GDDR6 15.6" FHD 144Hz Gaming Notebook
The little LEDs are constantly flickering and cant be turned off... The RGB keyboard is just a solid color and can be turned off. It's a review, I'm supposed to be judgemental 🙃
Ok fine, the lenovo legion slim 5 14 might not be your speed. But the lenovo legion slim 7i might be one of the best premium gaming laptops ever. And you can get up to a 4070.
Hi! I'm using exactly the same machine about week. Got it about 1300$. All games runs smooth, I' m happy! 😀 Using extrernal monitor, kbd, mouse I dont care about these built in...

I just got mine in , seems and feels nice . Haven’t turn it on yet , as I am currently charching the batterij . But will try to remember to post maybe a few words about it later underneed this response . It might give a better idea . And for what I currently know , I whis you have the neccecery monny soon so you can buy this laptop 😁👍
Nice review. I have ordered this laptop. My version comes with QHD display (2560 X 1440) 165HZ. Very very excited🎉. How RTX 4070 will handle this display for gaming?
Ayy exciting!!
The 4070 is great for QHD, haven't had a single game that didn't run well :)
I'm neither feeling the cost cutting or poor build quality to be honest. I feels pretty solid to me and the screen isnt really bad at all. I also have a MSI Katana and that thing makes the TUF feel very premium.
is this laptop good for music production and 3d modeling?
Yes, definitely.
For big FL Studio projects you might need 32GB of RAM, but the CPU and GPU are def good enough for both.
Battery life?
I recently got the ASUS TUF F15 (2024) i7-13620H, 16GB RAM, and RTX 4070 from Best Buy for $1,099. I'm loving the performance so far!!! I also just ordered an additional 4TB NVMe. It's such an awesome upgrade from the GTX 1080 desktop I built in 2016. 😄
I just ordered today the exact same laptop and im coming from the exact same desktop GPU hahahaha
Wow you guys must have jobs
Maybe you know better than me, can you help me, i bought tuf f16 rtx 4060,i7
The only game i wanna play is nfs most wanted from childhood, and on this great machine i have lags and the graphics isnt smooth at all, tried with drivers, nvidia cp, armor creative, all that stuff.. but aint resolving my problem. The game is from 2005 and i cannot believe that i cannot enjoy it on this 1200€ laptop..
@@alexandar4943 If you've already checked your power plan settings to be in "Turbo" or "Ultimate" Performance as well as "Turbo" mode and "Ultimate" (GPU Mode) for Armoury Crate, have you checked your temperature settings while gaming? You may be throttled by CPU/GPU temps. I needed to get a better laptop cooler since I was experiencing some high CPU temps, so I got the IETS GT600 V2. Do you have any antivirus software that could be affecting performance?
@@GBBangin thanks for the reply but no i dont think it is a temp problem bcuz its a brand new laptop, all the mods tried and not working, for example other game like nfs 2015 works perfectly fine on even ultra settings
Is it Worth for Editing?
Yes! It's great for editing :)
Like , AND RYZEN 7 ,7535 HS WITH NVIDIA RTX3050? For Poductivity?
Great video & great idea to compare the A/F 15 with the G14 :)
How severe is the backlight bleed in this laptop?
In terms of portability:
Yes, touchpad, screen and speakers are bad.
BUT: it's also very robust, pretty compact and light for 15,6", fan noise is low for a gaming machine and battery life should be good too.
What about the loading times in games? Is the built-in SSD's fast enough to handle games without a stutter and how does it compare to the M.2 ones that are installed after?
Would you review the a14 as well?
Yes, it's on my list :)
is the variant with ryzen better than intel?
They're close in performance, but the Ryzen is slightly faster, and also uses a bit less power. I believe the 2024 models only come with Ryzen CPUs as well.
@@crimsontechyt aha i see, thanks for the info
Is it good for school work too?like python?
Yes, it's definitely fast enough for programming
This is a very good review of this laptop. Thank you.
Thank you!
Is there fingerprint scanner?
No, not on this model
Asus tuf a15 rtx 4060 ryzen 7( 16gb ddr5 and 512ssd) or msi katana 15 rtx 4050 i7 (32gb ddr5 ram 1tb nvme )
Such an useful review, and very pleasant to watch (rare on TH-cam lately) I just ordered a 3070 at 22% off, this will be my first laptop :3
Thank you! :D
Oooh exciting, enjoy it :o
Im using the 2023 model and i love it. I think the screen is pretty good too and the performance is incredible. Its replaced my old desktop as i had to get rid of it.
Which model did you choose? Fa507nu Model has 25 ms panel latency so ghosting makes my gameplay a little bit unsatisfying.
What about this model FA506NC-HN005W ?? @@Iluvebp
Do they all come with 16GB ram and are they upgradable if they don’t come with 32GB ram ??
It differs per region, but all the models here only go up to 16gb.
But yes, they ARE upgradeable up to 32gb ram :)
@@crimsontechyt thank you for that becoz in my region it said it came with 32GB and it confused me a little 👍🏻
@@crimsontechyt By 32gb, do you mean 16gb for 2 memory slots or each 32gb?
Both slots are filled so it had dual channel memory. That does mean you'll have to buy a 32gb stick or two 16gb sticks to replace them with though
@@crimsontechyt Might be dumb question to ask. If so, can i buy 2 32 gb stick so it goes to 64gb?
I bought the 2023's TUF A15, Ryzen 9 7940HS with RTX4060..and yes, I'm happy with it. Decent price and performance ratio...it's a mid range gaming laptop afterall
It's a great performer nonetheless! :)
I was contemplating on buying this model or the Acer Nitro V or v15, which one is better? I really want the Asus Tuf but I'm afraid because some comments say that the Asus tuf heats easily and gets frame drops.
I havent reviewed the Nitro V/15 yet, so I cant speak on that unfortunately.
I do know that the TUF 15 has had very good temperatures so far, and definitely doesnt have framedrops or overheating issues.
People that have those problems either have a defective unit, or don't have optimal airflow at the bottom
I got a ps5 connected to my LG C1 OLED 55inc … the question is: will I see a change to graphics playing for example: BG3 or souls games ?
ofc this is atleast 50% stronger than a ps5
Yes, it beats a PS5 in terms of performance. You will of course need to tweak some settings, but you can make it look better than a ps5.
Got it for 620$ in india. I am happy then ever. First good spec computer after years of using low spec pc. And good for less money is awesome. I don't need to be careful looking at price. The budget price makes it more durable hahha kidding. But this laptop is good for budget and you dont need to be careful as we be with expensive.
Wow fr 620$ ??. Where did you get it? Online or offline store
@@zBroxy offline. Here in India from reliance supermart
I bought it for 62k withba mouse and bag free and windows 11 subscription free and am from tamil nadu it's 3050 rtx n 16gb how much is ur rtx where u bought it
Mine just got delivert . It sports a ryzen 9 , 32gb ram and a 4070 on board graphic’s card 🙂
damn, that sound!
Great review! Just a few things; I think the touchpad with your unit is probably sticky or faulty since mine doesn't make any extra noises like yours and you only hear the click sound. As for the speaker distortion... Are you sure it's there and Dolby drivers are installed? I crank up mine to 100% and never notice any distortion. And finally, it'd be much better if you benchmarked these laptops in more intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077 as a game like Counter Strike would never utilise the hardware at its maximum, especially on the GPU.
Overall I think this laptop kinda sucks. It's mid/high-end in the budget tier laptops at best. If I could, I'd have added some more money and gotten a ROG instead.
The performance at 1080p resolution is the biggest advantage of TUF over higher end laptops like G14. A 4060/4070 at 1080p will last you WAY WAY longer than it will at 1600p resolution. So there's also that.
Cheapest? How much is this setup?
Would it be good playing wow retail on this?
Yes, as long as it's these specs
Well i don't know much about laptop i just bought this for college and just to play game a bit is this laptop okay for works and multitasking?
It's very good for that purpose. Handles multi-tasking like a champ :)
@@crimsontechyt thanks pal
Hey, can you review the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16' next? There are very few reviews of that online but it seems very solid for the price and has no real downsides to it for a gaming laptop.
Why this 4070 running games slower than your tuf 14 4060?
Can this runs Warzone smoothly?
Yes, it absolutely can
I just Wana ask...are the fans silent when not gaming or streaming? Or is it always loud the fan
It only gets loud when doing intensive stuff like gaming. Under normal use, it's silent or only spinning slightly
😮👍@@crimsontechyt
that cause you bought the low end one i have the f17 does not do that every things is solid when you set up right its perfect speaker sound great bass ect
Nice... I was concerned about the screen though : ) BTW you want plastic-fantastic? Try MSI, especially the Cyborg : )
I'm planning to cover the new Cyborg 14! :)
What about cpu temp😢😢😢, tuf thermals are very bad,, is it better for long 3 to 4 hour work and gaming?????
I talk about the temperatures and heat in the video :)
They stay well-balanced for a gaming laptop, definitely better than smaller devices.
Good for gaming ? ASUS TUF A15 15.6" FHD | AMD 5 7535HS | RTX 2050 | 8GB RAM | 512GB SSD
It's okay, completely depends on what kind of games you play.
It will play CS2 fine, but might have trouble with the newest titles, or anything with RTX.
But in general, it's fine!
@@crimsontechyt Thanks
@@crimsontechyt i can play Gta 5 or Fortnite Low graphics , Fps Good :) ( 144hz and 4.55Ghz)

That A15 is better
Just bought 1 and boy. I forgot to try the trackpad
I am gonna buy one but lucky for me I just use a wireless mouse.
Yeah, buying a mouse later. Just an hour of used and the track already has a stain on it
Wait im confused, I have the tuf a15 2023 and the lid is made out of metal

which better asus TUF A15 or lenovo loq 15, i'm get confuse to buy my laptop since many people in comunity said lenovo loq had mobo and the temp is high
MSI Katana 15 B13VGK| GeForce RTX 4070 i9 Refresh Rate 144 Hz, 32 gb ram is a good business for no more than 1500 euros ?? And is it good?
Should i buy the laptop with the rtx 4070 and the intel i7 12700h? It costs 1099€ because it is on sale.
I want to use it mostly for school work and of course gaming. How long does the battery lasts?
I would suggest buying one with the amd cpu in it since its slightly more stable and uses less power, thus giving better battery life. But its your choice if the intel one is on sale.
That's a pretty good price!
It'll handle anything you throw at it, but battery life will probably be horrible 🥲
what kind of ram i need for this laptop? i want upgrade to 32 gb ddr5
i literally just seen this after watching the unboxing vid, i was looking for a new laptop that actually has a graphics card because my laptop that runs on integrated graphics sucks even on low settings 😂
Oof i've been there! Going from integrated graphics to a gaming laptop is an AMAZING feeling :D

Bro i need it for long term use ..i only looking for minecraft game with this laptop and multi tasking ,coding extr so is this will worth buying

the top is metal lid. not plastic.

Hey man, snelle vraag, zou jij deze aanraden voor 1449 euro? Ik zit te twijfelen tussen deze en een lenovo legion slim 5 met een RTX 4060 voor 1249 euro. Ik probeer te upgraden van mijn zephyrus g14 uit 2020, maar ik ben een beetje lost hiermee. Wat is jouw advies?
Hmmm idk... De RTX 5000 series komt bijna uit, en nieuwe laptops komen rond januari/februari uit, dus denk ik dat alle laptops veel goedkoper worden rond die tijd.
Maar als je met spoed een nieuwe laptop nodig hebt, zou ik er nu een kopen natuurlijk.
Van een Zephyrus naar een TUF A15 zou wel een downgrade zijn qua bouwkwaliteit, maar ZEKER niet qua snelheid :)
@@crimsontechyt Top, dan wacht ik t nog ff af tot volgend jaar. Thanks!
I have the rtx 4050 ryzen 5 7535hs model, i loved the performance, design and other stuff. But i would say the display could have been better. 144 hz with 25 ms latency is not really good for competetive games. If you are planning for buying external monitor then go for it
Not sure why you'd play competitive on a laptop in the first place. External keyboard and mouse and plugged into a separate display, sure, but just as is makes no sense.
@@mydogeatspuke Yeah you are right, if you play story or singleplayer games it is fine. But i want to say that if i connect second display, keyboard and other stuff then what about the laptop's portability?
@@Iluvebp I don't know what it is that you want me to say lmao. If you want a laptop with an amazing screen, you have to pay a lot of money, and the battery drain is really high so it can't be used for more than an hour without being plugged in when gaming. Which makes it not portable either. But then I don't know why you'd decide to take a laptop somewhere without access to a plug socket (but does have WiFi??) to play competitive games either. Just play them at home. Or where there's power. And so also screens and peripherals. A powerful laptop with a good screen and a battery to support it for portability (and I guess using your phone as a WiFi hotspot so you can play CS in a field???) would cost significantly more than this laptop. If that's what you want, buy that instead. Or, well, as anyone who actually plays competitively at a good level would tell you, get a desktop because laptops are bad for that no matter how much you spend.
Hey crimson i like watching media content like yt and do a bit of light gaming i searched a bit about which laptop to buy on my budget i got 3 options can u help me out?
Option 1: asus vivobook s16 oled pros are: amazing value,3.2k oled,intel core ultra 9 ( u can buy the new ryzen variant in it but it costs alot) ,thin and very light, has thunder bolt, has rgb which i like,has all ports that i need, super fast ram,runs cool.
Cons: no gpu which is alright because u can plug in a egpu with thunderbolt.
Option 2 asus rog zephyrus g16 2023 pros: it has a 4060,and i7 but h series, rgb.
Cons: meh screen, poor battery life,webcam is terrible,heavy.
Option 3 asus vivobook s15 pro oled pros: ryzen 9 7940hs and rtx 4060 (65w tgp),2800/1650 oled.
Cons: it runs hot which i really dont like,4060 tgp is ok.
(It may seem im fanboying the vivobook s16 and im not biased lol)
My rating would be:
1. Zephyrus G16
Battery life is **okay**, but not as good as on a G14, could be better.
It has either an OLED or a **very** good IPS display, so imo the display is actually really good. And the speakers were REALLY good (although alot of people just use headphones lol)
And the G16 is actually one of the lightest 16 inch gaming laptops, so weight was never a problem for me.
2. S15
A friend of mine has the S15, and has had very little complaints so far. Great display, nice keyboard and trackpad, and pretty light.
His only complaints were the slightly low TGP of the 4060, the speaker quality, and the fan noise.
3. S16
I personally wouldnt recommend a laptop without a dGPU, since you'd be limiting yourself a LOT with how many programs and games you can run well.
External GPUs are an option, but janky drivers and the heavyness of the enclosures dont sit well with me.
I think u meant the g16 2024 lol i said 2023 variant not 2024 😂 anyways i think ill get the vivobook because its soooo light for a 16 inch laptop and thin like 1.5kg light and that oled would be nice for media consumption.
What should I use in armoury crate for gpu mode. Which one is the best. I am generally using it for gaming and watching sth
Use Silent when you're on battery, and Turbo or Manual with FULL FAN while plugged in. If full fan is too loud, stick to Turbo :)
@@crimsontechyt There are turbo and silent fan modes, and graphics card modes: ultimate eco standard and optimized. Which one should I use as GPU mode?
@@keremuvat9372 If you always have the laptop plugged in, leave it on Ultimate. It uses more power, but it does improve performance.
If you use the laptop plugged in and on battery, leave it on Standard
I couldn’t find this model with ryzen 9, only TUF A15 with ryzen 7 🫤
wait i got the same laptop and it does not have that crakking sound
HOW MUCH FPS IN FORTNITE 😭
I don't really care about all those things I could just use to play my games
Am having one but its performance is ultra and graphics are great with games like fc24 and rdr2. I recommend. And mine isnt soft and too plastic like this 😂

hi guys i want to buy this laptop but there a problem
im living in Africa specially somali however there my cousin who lives in america so he coming to the country next month so i want to order this laptop but in amzon the laptop price is 599 so what i say to him/her to get this laptop any advice
That's probably the RTX 2050/3050 model, with a slightly weaker processor.
It will definitely run games, but obviously not at the highest possible settings.
I would say 600 is pretty worth it though. So if you're okay with the downsides I listed in the video, I'd get it!

9:27, if that distracts you, how will you use the RGB keyboard?? I feel like you're being very judgmental
The little LEDs are constantly flickering and cant be turned off... The RGB keyboard is just a solid color and can be turned off.
