Very nice review with one exception, you completely skipped over the main feature of the TUF series, which is its durability. The series is built to MIL-SPEC and lasts longer in rougher environments, special dust-filter fans, etc. That's the reason they have the bulkier chassis as well. For people who travel (or deploy) often, this is a huge consideration.
@@PremVijayVelMani most of the reviewers actually mentioned the high response time. Check the OWNorDisown review where he actually showed the Ghosting test compared to Hdlios 300 but also mentioned that during gaming, it's actually not noticeable.
Hey guys! So I own the 2060 variant, which at stock holds 95C/86C on the CPU/GPU. However, by disabling turbo boost on the CPU (or alternatively, capping its TDP using Ryzen Controller) and simultaneously undervolting/overclocking the GPU using MSI Afterburner, I have achieved GREAT temps, holding now 85C/80C (if not lower, depending on the game), all without ANY drop in framerates whatsoever. So while the machine does run hot at stock, there are certainly things that can be done to remedy that problem!
I should note that my temps are based on having the "Performance" profile set in Armoury Crate (because my personal preference is to have higher temps with lower fan noise). This means though, that whoever wants to possibly see even better temps, they can certainly try the "Turbo" profile if they'd like!
Thank you very much for reviewing the color gamut..it is very helpful for content creator or video editor to get more information in this channel..for me as 3d modelling designer, cpu n gpu speed is essential, but we cant forget that color gamut is important too when we have presentation to clients.

@@CrownCKB You're going for an RTX model? Just FYI, you don't use a laptop for gaming. Just because they say you can, doesnt mean you should. I went with the $899 model, and I use it for game dev and as a general work station. If you're wanting something to play games, you can make an RTX pc for around $500 to $800.

If you want good temps for Ryzen 4000 mobile series you could try adjusting the processor boost(that leaves it to 2900mhz- it goes over this target if the system can manage it). After that the CPU stays at 80 degrees and the fps almost the same(the bottleneck is the GPU in these laptops). Put this command in CMD(run as administrator): powercfg.exe -attributes sub_processor perfboostmode -attrib_hide . After that go in power plan->change plan settings->under processor power management->processor performance boost mode-> efficient agressive.
@@ipungipung90 what downside?? wtf you bullshiting now?? so you think that 4800h are slower or worse then some shitty i5 9300h or 3750h ryzen and you already have reviews where 4800h/4900h beats in most tasks Intel i7 10875h
96c is way too high, it's getting up into damage over long term high temperature. I'd really suggest checking the fans/internals for dust, and checking the cpu attachment points for proper contact and replace the thermal paste.
Hardware Unboxed just posted their review of this laptop, there is major intake and exhaust issues with this laptop and inadequate cooling. I recommend you return your laptop and get something like a Zephyrus G14 or other AMD alternative laptop.
Looking to buy a laptop been watching heaps of videos and doing my research it was originally get the dell g315 and the asus rog strip g but I think I’ll wait till the 27th and buy this asus tuf gaming a15 because it’s price is just amazingly bang for your buck, who else does a rtx 2060 for less than $ 3000 and up in Australia thank you for this video it helped me clarify everything and to make my final decision.
You can preorder this laptop on Xotic PC and amazon if you really wanna get in before others buy it out. Edit: Sorry didn't see you were an Aussie. Good luck!
Fantastic review. I do photo and video editing, and though my desktop Ryzen works great for that, I plan on doing a lot of traveling this year so I just ordered this thing for video editing. I'm pairing it with a c-force c-air, which linus did a review of, it's a 12 inch insanely thin screen which apparently had 100% adobe color, and 1000:1 contrast. I guess I'll find out when they arrive in a week or so :)
I really like that you included benchmarks with games at both medium and ultra. I like to tweak things like shadows to get a better frame rate will still keeping as much eye candy as possible so I think this gives me a good idea of what I might be able to do.

Can you game on this laptop for 5+ hours, and also how hot does the cpu get cause recently I got a acer nitro 5 and the CPU got fried after about a week of gaming
Great review. I am thinking to buy the rtx model but as you said the 1660ti can achieve performance similar to an 2060. You think this chasis can handle an 1660ti if i overclock it to match the performance of an rtx 2060?
if I want to add another ssd which would you recomend?, also in mexico most internet routers use the wifi 5, so there is no point in upgrade the chip just yet xD.
Great review, I must say. The not so good quality display can be forgiven considering the hardware it offers at the price point, considering that the TUF Line was never known for having that and mainly targeted for gaming only. Still this is a good step up from the previous TUF series, considering the top of the line CPU, plenty of ram, big capacity ssd, big battery, 144 hz display and Freesync support, Gsync support in external monitor. The build quality is pretty solid with MIL-STD Certification even with its plastic build. Also, while the gaming performance is similar to an Intel i7 9750H laptop with same GPU but the cpu performance is way higher than it, comparable to i9-9980H 8 core cpu which will be like $1000 more than this, with same gpu, storage and Ram. For the productivity, although the display is not suitable, for running cpu intensive tasks, number crunching, coding, software compilations etc. I guess display is the only section they cut the price to provide the rest of the spec at this price point.

If you want good temps for Ryzen 4000 mobile series you could try adjusting the processor boost(that leaves it to 2900mhz- it goes over this target if the system can manage it). After that the CPU stays at 80 degrees and the fps almost the same(the bottleneck is the GPU in these laptops). Put this command in CMD(run as administrator): powercfg.exe -attributes sub_processor perfboostmode -attrib_hide . After that go in power plan->change plan settings->under processor power management->processor performance boost mode-> efficient agressive.
I'll be happy to take a look at that!
probably best for money are 1660ti+ 4800h on 15,6inch for 999$
With probably more downside?
Nah, I think it's better to wait for its own specific review
@@ipungipung90 what downside?? wtf you bullshiting now?? so you think that 4800h are slower or worse then some shitty i5 9300h or 3750h ryzen and you already have reviews where 4800h/4900h beats in most tasks Intel i7 10875h
That pc tower massive in your studio
I HAVE THIS LAPTOP AND I PLAY GAMING THE TEMP GOING UP TO 96 C !!!! TOO HIGH !!!
96c is way too high, it's getting up into damage over long term high temperature. I'd really suggest checking the fans/internals for dust, and checking the cpu attachment points for proper contact and replace the thermal paste.
Just undervolt your GPU a bit. Will be fine. (75 deg. C max)
Whats your room temperature?
Hardware Unboxed just posted their review of this laptop, there is major intake and exhaust issues with this laptop and inadequate cooling. I recommend you return your laptop and get something like a Zephyrus G14 or other AMD alternative laptop.

Should I buy this laptop after using a Mac for 2 years
Yes
Im still getting it despite the screen being meh. Definitely a big upgrade compared to my Acer Aspire 3 😭
I have a six year old laptop. I'm sure the screen is fine. 🤣
I'm getting this and it's alot better than my HP notebook that has an Intel i3 4th gen 6 gigs of RAM and integrated graphics
Thank you for the review just picked it up in my country and it meets all my needs and you can see the review is totally on par and unbiased.
”Tramp stamp” 😂🤣
Looking to buy a laptop been watching heaps of videos and doing my research it was originally get the dell g315 and the asus rog strip g but I think I’ll wait till the 27th and buy this asus tuf gaming a15 because it’s price is just amazingly bang for your buck, who else does a rtx 2060 for less than $ 3000 and up in Australia thank you for this video it helped me clarify everything and to make my final decision.
You can preorder this laptop on Xotic PC and amazon if you really wanna get in before others buy it out. Edit: Sorry didn't see you were an Aussie. Good luck!

999$ for a 1660 Ti with awesome CPU, 500Gig SSD and big battery? Hows that not great :D
@@TechTesters I want a review on that vs bravo
Can we add a hard drive after we purchase the laptop??????? please answer I'm really looking forward to buy this one
You can add another ssd on the 90wh version. The 48wh version has a 2.5" slot.
Honestly I still prefer asus zephyrus g14, just for the looks 🤣

Is this worth buying for architecture programs (rendering, cad and such)?
Yes
If you don't need a color accurate screen, it's got the power.
2019: 600 $ is affordable
2020 : 1000$ is affordable
2021 : 2000$ is affordable
2022 : 5000$ is affordable
gaming laptops were never 600 lmao
So much eye candy! XD Thx for another excellent review!
This laptop is trash. Do not buy. The laptop gets as hot as ur mother.
Fantastic review. I do photo and video editing, and though my desktop Ryzen works great for that, I plan on doing a lot of traveling this year so I just ordered this thing for video editing. I'm pairing it with a c-force c-air, which linus did a review of, it's a 12 inch insanely thin screen which apparently had 100% adobe color, and 1000:1 contrast. I guess I'll find out when they arrive in a week or so :)
Thank you! And if you use the proper calibrated screen for editting, why not? :) #hype? :)
I swear you're not supposed to charge it and use it,especially while gaming?
I really like that you included benchmarks with games at both medium and ultra. I like to tweak things like shadows to get a better frame rate will still keeping as much eye candy as possible so I think this gives me a good idea of what I might be able to do.
What laptop has a slightly better display while in the same price range?
Wait for lenovo's offerings with the same ryzen chip
David Ng are you speaking about the Legion Y lineup?
@@davidngqkalone88 when will it come out?
@@kingslayer5575 the intel versions of the lenovo 5i and 7i were announced just last week with intel 10th gen chips and up to rtx2060 (2060 super max q for 7i) starting at $999. Release date is not yet confirmed but I would guess june-sept timeframe. There are also AMD versions of the 5i and 7i but these have not yet been officially announcdd.
This is an extremely extremely good review. Thumbs up.
Thank you! :)
Very nice review and that wifi adapter replacement was something i didn't know and didn't saw in other reviews. That helped me. Thanks.
Happy I could help, thanks! :D
Can you use the laptop with the battery removed? Would be a nice weigth reduction.
Can you game on this laptop for 5+ hours, and also how hot does the cpu get cause recently I got a acer nitro 5 and the CPU got fried after about a week of gaming
Love those plants in your room
Thank you so much! Do I have to plug it in the charger while i'm gaming? :)
Yeah, I don't think any gaming laptops can push enough performance on a battery right now. Gaming = plug in. Light games will be fine ofc.
Great review. I am thinking to buy the rtx model but as you said the 1660ti can achieve performance similar to an 2060. You think this chasis can handle an 1660ti if i overclock it to match the performance of an rtx 2060?
What do you think on the 1660 ti vs 2060 debate? Is it worth the extra $200 which also comes with another 500gb of ssd space?
Thanks for you point of view, will be my choice today. fits my budget
This is how to review tech. Very informative. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU !!!
if I want to add another ssd which would you recomend?, also in mexico most internet routers use the wifi 5, so there is no point in upgrade the chip just yet xD.
Would you recommend this laptop for a first gaming laptop of my own?
If the price is right in your region, and you can't afford a really premium option, I do :)
So how many cores and MHz for the CPU. These cpus are so new you might wanna let us in on the specs.. Thanks..
This is what i was looking for, thanks!
Great review, I must say. The not so good quality display can be forgiven considering the hardware it offers at the price point, considering that the TUF Line was never known for having that and mainly targeted for gaming only. Still this is a good step up from the previous TUF series, considering the top of the line CPU, plenty of ram, big capacity ssd, big battery, 144 hz display and Freesync support, Gsync support in external monitor. The build quality is pretty solid with MIL-STD Certification even with its plastic build. Also, while the gaming performance is similar to an Intel i7 9750H laptop with same GPU but the cpu performance is way higher than it, comparable to i9-9980H 8 core cpu which will be like $1000 more than this, with same gpu, storage and Ram.
For the productivity, although the display is not suitable, for running cpu intensive tasks, number crunching, coding, software compilations etc. I guess display is the only section they cut the price to provide the rest of the spec at this price point.
thanks! and very accurate :)
@@TechTesters will the 1660ti model of a15 and 2060rtx would be of considerable difference in performance?... also, if i buy the @17 having the 120hz screen with 1660ti would the screen performance be noticibly less? than the @15's 144hz screen????
@@kingslayer5575 There is no review available for the 17" model but based on the spec, price point and initial impression, both A17 and A15 are having pretty similar display.
Thanks for these reviews, your channel is great!
Does this laptop perform cool under full load or is it hot to the touch like the Dell G15 SE?
Is this the best 15Inch budget laptop still?
Great Review
Thanks
Most gaming laptops get warm, but unless you touch the top of the keyboard you won't really notice much tbh
great video!! but my real question is what kinda case do you have for your PC in the back??
Thanks! And that's a Cosmos C700M :)
Excellent review, thank you! Can the keyboard backlighting be turned off entirely?
Thanks! and of course, I do that for battery testing too for example.
@@TechTesters Thank you. It is good to know that the keyboard backlighting can be turned completely off while using the laptop. I personally find the backlighting to be distracting...
I order the tuf fx506ii, ryzen 7 and 1650TI variant. Can't wait it arrive
If the display is not that good, is it possible to upgrade the display to a better one? If you are a right-handed person, do you have any problem when the side exhaust is on the right-hand side of the laptop?
Worth getting now? I'm looking at getting this?!?
If the price is right, why not?
