ASUS has a long history of producing gaming laptops. Their ROG series of laptops are among the best in the industry’s high-end segment, with premium prices to match. ASUS introduced the TUF line of laptops for budget-conscious gamers, offering reasonably well-built laptops with specs that matched the price. The TUF line is designed for gamers who want a laptop that is well built and offers good specs at a budget price. ..

Intel’s new 11th-generation Tiger Lake-H35 processors bring a luxurious gaming experience to a starting price of $1,099. The ASUS TUF Dash F15 brings a great gaming experience at a starting price of $1,099. ..

Asus TUF Dash F15 review: Design

The Asus TUF Dash F15 is a gaming laptop that is designed for budget-conscious audiences. It has a Core i5-8300HQ processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. It also has a backlit keyboard and an RGB backlight.

The Asus TUF Dash F15 is a gaming laptop that is incredibly thin and light for a gaming laptop. It has a sleek design and is perfect for gamers who want an extremely thin and light laptop.

The laptop is a great device for students and busy professionals who need to carry it around with them, but it’s not the best option for people who want a unibody design or something like that. The aluminium keyboard deck and lid are both strong and durable, but the bottom of the laptop is still plastic, so you might not be able to use it if you’re looking for a unibody design.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The F15’s keyboard has a majority of concave keys, with a few flat keys and a medium stroke length. The key layout is not optimal, with small arrow keys and a single-line “Enter” key. ..

The keyboard on the Asus Zenbook UX305UA is a good choice for everyday use. It has three-stage backlight, a multitouch-capable ClickPad, and a smooth surface that allows fingers to easily glide across it. The keyboard also reacts to input from the corners.

Asus TUF Dash F15 review: Display

The Asus Dash F15 is a 15.6-inch IPS panel monitor that features Nvidia G-Sync, a high 240 Hz refresh rate, and a 3ms response time. This monitor has obvious gaming benefits, especially if you’re playing an eSports title where your graphics card can easily reach 240 frames per second.

Some gamers may find that games with high graphics requirements, such as those with intense action or scenes with many moving objects, will be more difficult to achieve a smooth frame rate on an IPS display. This is because IPS displays are known for their good colour reproduction and ability to show shades of colours accurately, including hints of brown in the deepest shadows and pale robin’s egg blue in the lightest areas. ..

The video appeared to be smooth and realistic, with hints of purple, blue, and red visible. However, the area it was playing in was quite dark, and in my bright room, we found ourselves wishing we could turn up the brightness a notch.

Audio

The TUF Dash F15 2022 is a great option for those looking for an improved audio experience. It has dual firing speakers that support Dolby Atmos, which may be a contributing factor. Additionally, the TUF Dash F15 2022 may be better than most on the market in terms of volume and clarity.

The mids and highs are crystal clear, and there is some base present but not as strong. That is still preferable to having no base at all. In any case, we still recommend that you use your favourite gear when playing audio-reliant games with great soundtracks, such as FPS and RPGs.

You can still enjoy yourself by playing games on your laptop’s speakers. The added bonus is that you get the well-regarded ASUS two-way AI noise cancellation feature.

Asus TUF Dash F15 review: Graphic and Gaming

PC gaming benchmarks: Sky Diver and Fire Strike UL’s 3DMark tests a PC’s gaming performance potential. Sky Diver is a DirectX 11-based test, while Fire Strike is a DirectX 11-based test that uses real-world graphics settings. Unigine Corp.’s Superposition creates a complex 3D scene using a different rendering engine. ..

The TUF Dash F15 was unremarkable in comparison to the Acer and its older GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q. The Superposition results show that its GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU outperforms Razer’s GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q, despite the fact that last generation’s flagship GPU would not have been found in a laptop at the TUF Dash F15’s price point. ..

Performance

ASUS TUF Dash 15 will do well in tests. The only downside is that memory is limited to 8GB from the start. Doubling that to 16GB would vastly improve the situation. After that, let’s look at some of the benchmarking results from our various tests. ..

The new 3DMark Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme results show that the new gaming laptop is incredibly powerful. The Cinebench and PCMark scores, on the other hand, are excellent examples of what the machine can do with CPU-intensive programmes and multitasking. ..

We ran a few benchmarks to see how well the 3070 performs against other gaming laptops, and found that it falls short in terms of its ability to push the display to its limits. If you’re looking for a laptop with a great 240Hz display, we recommend looking elsewhere.

Metro Exodus struggled with RTX enabled, but turn it off and you’ll get a fairly consistent 70+ frames-per-second, while Shadow of that up to near 80. The Division 2 disappointed a little on ultra, barely breaking 50 fps, but impressed a lot on high, averaging close to 90 fps.

Asus TUF Dash F15 review: Battery Life

The TUF F15 Gaming laptop features a 90Whr battery that lasted about 6 hours while using Chrome, MS Word, YouTube Videos, and WhatsApp web. To conserve battery life, the brightness was kept below 50% and headphones were connected. ..

The battery life is not great, but it gets the job done.

The Asus TUF Dash F15 is even better than the competition, with nearly 10 hours of battery life and a more powerful GPU. Even in the 10 battery tests, which simulate a variety of different computing workloads, the laptop lasts around 9 hours, indicating that this gaming laptop should easily get you through a full work day. ..

Asus TUF Dash F15 review: Heat

The CPU and GPU in the 2021 model are more powerful than those in the 2018 model, but I haven’t noticed any problems with overheating or throttling. ..

Asus’s ROG Intelligent Cooling solution kept a 0.78-inch machine cool. The Dash F15 employs five copper heat pipes and two 83-blade liquid crystal polymer fans to draw heat away from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM and distribute it through the machine’s four heatsinks and fan outlets. ..

The WASD keys are used to vent, allowing the fan beneath to generate airflow. Furthermore, Asus improved the self-cleaning capabilities over last year’s TUF lineup by adding 5% more airflow space.

Configuration Options

The GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 15.6″ Full HD 144 Hz display are all available for $1,499 from Best Buy’s online store. Best Buy had it for $1,299 ($200 off deal) at the time we published our review.

Final Words

The ASUS TUF Dash F15 is a laptop that has been designed to provide the best performance possible while being as portable as possible. It features a 4-core CPU and a underpowered NVIDIA 30-series GPU, but it still manages to provide great value for its price.

The ASUS TUF Dash F15 is a laptop that has a great price-performance ratio. It is thin and light, making it perfect for those who are looking for a laptop with an RTX 3070 graphics card.
