ASUS TUF Dash 15 (2022) Gaming Laptop, 15.6 144Hz FHD Display, Intel Core i7-12650H, GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD, Thunderbolt 4, Windows 11 Home, Off Black, FX517ZM-AS73

This is for the 2022 model which has some serious upgrades on specs from the earlier model. First, you are dealing with a 10 core chip, and not the underpowered 4 core i7, so that is substantial. This was always a weak link in the prior version. You are also dealing with 16gb ddr 5 (not 4) ram, so that is both more and faster but note that upgrading ddr5 ram will be more expensive than upgrading a ddr4 machine so you may have to wait for ram prices to fall a bit before upgrading.

The game was great in terms of running games, it can run games such as GTA and Fortnite with decent graphics. If you are more into games such as Roblox or Genshin Impact it runs them great. Overall the gaming is great, however, the battery is very bad when using it on the go. The best way to get the battery to last is, as is most devices, turning the graphics, screen brightness, and fan speed down. Overall good, could be slightly better.

So far I like this computer a lot, I think that performance is good. The cost for that performance however, is the battery, it will not last more than a couple of hours unless you put battery saver. The fast charging feature is very good to compensate, but this only work if you can find where to connect. Overall I really like this machine, perform very good for my work and when i need to take a break I play some games without issues. I do recommend this product.

The system performs quite well and easily handles any game I have tried to play on it. The battery performance during gaming isnt great, but 144hz refresh rate and power consumption of the video card during gaming does whittle the battery performance down fairly quickly. However when used for school and maxed out for battery performance, to include restricting to a 60hz refresh rate, the system easily lasts and entire day at school for my son without needing to be plugged in to recharge.

UPDATE: For anyone who doubted that the mobo in the 2022 version of this laptop supported Gen 4 SSDs, you can put those doubts to rest. I received, installed and tested the 1tb Gen 4 Micron 3400 series SSD that I ordered. The drive is rated to achieve 6600 read and 5000 write. Chrystal Disk tests mine out at 6545.55 read and 4934.03 write. The only way that I could realize the top speeds of my new Micron Gen 4 SSD is if the Mobo supported Gen 4 SSDs. So there you have it. Just be aware that a Gen 4 SSD in a Gen 4 mobo will run hotter than a Gen 3 SSD in a Gen 4 mobo. To make matters a bit worse, there isnt a lot of room inside this laptop for air flow. This may be why the manufacturer of the 2022 version used a Gen 3 SSD instead of a Gen 4 SSD. This is by no means an insurmountable problem. Just make sure that you shop for a decent M.2 SSD heat sink at the same time that youre shopping for that new ultra fast Gen 4 SSD. Ive used a 1mm thick graphene coated copper plate, on top of a 1mm thick silicone pad on top of a 0.07mm thick layer of graphene tape. This may be overkill but I dont want to waste even a single, brief worry on how hot my drive might be getting lol! I see the price of the laptop went up a bit. Its still a bargain!

I’ll keep it simple, i love the design, the specs are really good especially for this budget (i got it for 999$ on sale) and overall it is a great gaming laptop. Love it.

Its my first laptop and it came with Xbox pc pass unlimited free for a month and the macafee anti-virus is ok but it gave me issue trying to subscribe because the laptop didnt meet certain encryption requirements so I got Norton which installed once I uninstalled macafee amd had no issues with it I use it mainly for games than as a pc i got skin for it I kept the sticker near the mouse amd put it on the bottom but the skin doesnt cover the inside so I made use of the scraps after cutting it to size and based on the settings the battery can last bit if your gaming it will go quickly and it will warn you before it turns off at 14 percent unless you plug it in but get an Xbox controller as it will work with it using Bluetooth I recommend it

Bought this laptop on a thanksgiving deal and was worth it. Installed and completed Elden Ring in the first few months and had no issues with playing the game in high def. Great Value!

Super rápida, pantalla nitida, bateria sin problemas, se puede jugar a 1080p cualquier juego con excelentes fps.

Potente laptop a un buen precio
