The 12th generation 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5-12500H processor powers games and applications with four Performance cores with a 4.5 GHz Max Turbo speed while the eight Efficiency cores handle background tasks.

The dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card is designed to deliver high frame rates and advanced features such as real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and more to enhance your entertainment and content-creation experiences.

An integrated MUX switch automatically routes frames directly from the dedicated GPU to the display, which can improve performance by 5 to 10% compared to systems without a MUX switch. Dynamically switching to the processor's integrated GPU helps to preserve battery life.

The 15.6" display features a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate. With Adaptive-Sync technology, the display's refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU's output to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate screen tearing for smooth gameplay.

Thunderbolt 4 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB-C connector and features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB4 at up to 20 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort allows you to connect either one 8K monitor or up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single port.

In addition to having a Thunderbolt 4 port, this laptop is equipped with a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port alongside two 5 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports. The HDMI 2.1 port allows you to add a second display for enhanced multitasking and an extended view.

Dolby Atmos support enhances games and movies with spatial audio. Two-way noise cancellation helps to ensure that you're heard and can clearly hear others while video chatting with the 720p HD webcam. Plug a headset into the 3.54mm audio jack for added privacy.

Inside the slim chassis are two 84-blade Arc Flow fans that deliver efficient airflow while the five copper heat pipes quickly draw heat away from critical components.

The responsive mini-LED RGB backlit keyboard includes WASD key accents to give you a visual shortcut while you game. Overstroke technology triggers higher in each keystroke for faster responsiveness and control. Additionally, this laptop features a large touchpad with four different built-in status indicators so that you can monitor your system at a glance.

In order to earn the TUF Gaming name, this laptop must survive a rigorous battery of MIL-STD-810H tests. Test laptops are exposed to drops, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures to ensure reliability. Dependable in harsh conditions, the F15 is more than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life.

Microsoft simplified the design and user experience with Windows 11. It has a modern, clean design with a new Start Menu position. Snap Layouts, Groups, and Desktops allow you to multitask with ease. Microsoft has also integrated some of their apps, such as Microsoft Teams. The redesigned Microsoft Store makes it easier to look for supported apps.

Arrived in great condition and the box was unharmed. I'm very happy with my purchase! There were the normal 'setting up pains' of getting any new computer, but now that's out of the way and I love using it. It runs smooth, and I have no problems so far! Occasionally the fans get a little loud when gaming. It has great color and graphics. The size it perfect for me, it's compact enough for portability and big enough for a great visual experience. There's even room for two people to play together on the same keyboard, for those who can't play together another way. It's somewhat squished with two people but it works. One of my favorite things about it is the keys. They are so smooth to type on, play with, and have such cool backlights. The lights are easy to turn off if desired, and you can change the brightness and mode all by pressing function and using the arrow keys. You'll need to download TUF Aura Core from the app store to change the color. It's free and easy to use as well. I just didn't know that I needed to download it at first! It would have been nice if that was a little clearer. To sum it up I love the laptop, it works great and looks amazing as well. B&H have been awesome and I'd definitely recommend anyone to buy from them. 5

Very good design. Great performance for the cost. Allows you to run games with fairly high demands very smoothly. 5

Joel	02/07/2024
This is a pretty good mid range laptop, & it runs games pretty good at 1080p & good for normal use as well, the 15.6" is perfect size to be able to carry it around with ease. 5

I was looking for a good gaming laptop from Asus and found this one on the B&H website. It was featured as best overall for that price range. I paid more than what B&H are asking for it now. The Asus F15 Tuf Gamer plays all my games on the highest settings and I'm getting a constant 60 to 144 FPS. I purchased an additional 1TB SSD and installed it with no problem. (do not format the SSD) The system will recognize it. The sound is great, the dual fans are quiet, even on Turbo. The colors are realistic and my games and photos really look good. This laptop is more powerful than the best gaming consoles with it's I7 CPU and embedded GTX 3060 graphics. I'm glad B&H dropped the price and made it more available for consumers looking for a good gamer. It is built to military specifications and can stand moderate falls if you drop it. Note: It does not come with a DVD drive or memory card reader, no problem: you can get those from B&H for a nominal price. Highly recommended. 5

BY far the best laptop I've ever owned. If you look at the specs its very comparable to much more expensive laptops. My main use is chess software, which is very CPU intensive, this has no problem with it. This has a RTX Graphics card, that many similar prices laptops don't have. If the 16gb RAM isn't enough, you can upgrade for little money, but I find it to be plenty. You won't regret this purchase, I'm so happy with mine. 5

This machine does everything I need at a great price. I can dual boot Windows and Linux, I can use an external monitor at 144hz through the USB-C port, audio out port is on the left, and getting into the device for upgrades is super easy--adding a second drive was simple. Personally I would prefer a larger keyboard without the 10 key on the side. The monitor is great for the price, but if you want better colors, you'll want to spend more on something else. I keep my chat windows open on the laptop monitor when I'm plugged into an external display, so it's no biggie for me. The WiFi radio it comes with is also a cheap one. Linux had no issues with it, but Windows 11 wouldn't connect to it sometimes. So, I swapped it out for one from Wise Tiger with an Intel AX210 and it works great now! Yes I would buy again and shipping from B&H got here fast! 5
