Battery drains out in a jiffy – Bought this laptop one year and 3 days ago for my son. The battery drains out very quickly even though for normal use he dims the backlight. Called, ASUS after sales, and they just shrugged me off, instructing me to send the laptop to their service centre. They charge a fee for the assessment obviously and take 10 to 15 days Better off buying a battery and replacing it myself to get some life out of it..
Great Gaming Laptop – strong graphics card. Fast loading times of games and applications no screen glares good speakers good connectivity nice RGB effects on the laptop great storage no overheating normal use great cooling on heavy gaming use no issues thus far Show details
Can't go wrong, could go better. RDR2 & GTAV at 40-65fps on a 65" LG OLED TV, How can you complain with that? Owned over 6 years with on average 5hrs daily use. Only maintainence being opened up to vaccume every now and then. Only negative thing about it is the integrated graphics, hard to work around optimising games. This laptop would… Read more
undoubtably make the perfect laptop to buy in large quantites for students, workers etc. My analogy would be like this: This is like a standard PS5 that does it all so if youre looking at laptops which are more expensive, well then they need to be comparable to the next benchmark up the ladder in home entetainment, which is the PS5 Pro (However this laptop is more comparable to a PS4, if the analogy still makes sense).

Great laptop, very impressed – The TUF Gaming FX506II Laptop is great for my needs, work and play. It is fast, the keypad has a great feel and the touchpad is smooth. The picture is crisp and clear which I wasn't expecting but probably should, given it is a gaming laptop. I am also pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I can play music and it doesn't sound tinny at all,… Read more
very happy to listen from the laptop without the need to connect headphones.
The specs are more than enough for the programs I need to run for work and capable of a nice smooth game of Portal 2, Minecraft, and TF2. Not that this helps me complete, survive, or conquer any of them. :) Organic interface needs some work.
I can't hear the cooling fans and sitting on my lap for half an hour, still not hot, so I'd say that's a bonus as well.
So far, I can't find anything negative to say about this laptop, you'd be hard-pressed to find another with specs similar for as good a price.
Lastly, I'm a kid at heart, and to be honest, my favourite thing is the rainbow backlit keyboard.
Affordable, yet powerful – Found this gem during Boxing Day. It has powerful CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD. So far this is the one of the most powerful, yet affordable laptop I can find. Screen is beautiful. It is not getting heat up even when I ran multiple apps at the same time (Ms. Office, browser, statistics software). Looking forward to see its gaming performance. Show details
This is perfect – It’s really good laptop which can use to playing high quality game and can do office work as well, like Asus,like gaming laptop.I can play whole day with my laptop Show details
ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop is Brilliant – Just bought this Laptop from Harvey Norman and the speed of this laptop compared to my old one is light years ahead of the rest. It's easy to use, extremely lightweight and incredibly fast to operate. I found software loads instantly and gaming is a breeze. I also found the HDMI for 4K video playback on the TV awesome. Highly recommend!

Robust Gaming Laptop – I bought the Asus Tuf as an upgrade from a more simple seven hundred dollar laptop. I initially bought this as I wanted a laptop that I could not only work on (I am a writer), and study (two hours to university and back twice a week) but also be able to take travelling with me so I could continue to play the games I love - E.g anything from World… Read more
of Warcraft, League of Legends to The Sims 4 (multiple expansions). I wanted portability, utility and performance.
So far, so good. I have just received it recently but it is running everything like a dream and the casing of the laptop itself seems so robust feel more assured when I will be taking this interstate. It will be as though I have bought my PC with me where-ever I go. IN fact I think it outperforms my PC! The graphics and display is sleek, the keyboard and touchpad is responsive, and although the fan noise can be distracting it isn't too bad and can be adjusted.
They have placed fan outlets to the side of the laptop at the back so that the outlet is also freely exposed rather than being simply underneath the laptop which helps to cool it.
I am dismayed though that the keys are not larger/taller. They are quite slim and low to the keyboard - as a writer I prefer the satisfation of the click of keys. However I can see how this is positive for gaming. But also, I have long nails so it can be a little bothersome to use them.
Also it is quite heavy with a shorter battery life than my old laptop; Bottom line is this. It is a great gaming laptop for the price, however I would rate it lower on utility as a laptop for university du to the bulky weight of it. It will be perfect for holidays/travel away though -- just not for public transport to school. I will be getting a slim tablet/chromebook for that.
So do buy this if your main wish is a gaming laptop! Not if you want something light and slim to write on / travel with on public transport!
However, the cash-back offer from Harvey norman was super confusing and I am still unsure how that works, ,I would like more clarity at the point of sale next time.,
ASUS FX506II - This laptop just rocks! – I purchased this ASUS FX506II laptop because of the Ryzen 7 4800 processor to replace my old ASUS F556UV that failed after many years of reliability. Gaming was not a primary purpose of this purchase but a fast high core count was for demanding software development and processing, but boy did the gaming ability blow me away on this ASUS laptop. … Read more
At the heart of this machine is a very responsive AMD Ryzen that is just waiting for you to put it tp work and it does not disappoint. While this SKU is missing the second m.2 slot, I quickly added a second 2.5" SSD with the provided SATA cable and screws.
The included system management software is easy to use and provides for some useful tweaking for balancing performance\battery life.
Keeping my development software on the SSD and attaching an external HDD to store my large stream games was a great option to make up for any local storage limitations.
One of the important decisions to stay with ASUS is the driver support web site which is easy to navigate and identify any driver\firmware updates.
Budget Powerful Machine without compromising Quality – I've always had a ThinkPad for work but I'm a gamer. I needed a gaming laptop that was affordable and was powerful enough for 2020-2021 gaming titles, and the Asus TUF A15 was the perfect match! This gaming laptop despite being Asus's budget line is one the best laptops of all time, the price you pay for the quality you get is unbelievable, not to… Read more
mention it still has fantastic looks!
The Asus TUF A15 is a fast machine, the one I got was the Ryzen 7 4800H with GTX 1650 Ti with 16 GB ram, and I'm telling I could play any game with fps going off the charts such as GTA 5, RDDR2, Watch dogs legion and my all time favorite Cyber Punk! The keyboard is to die for, and the spacing is on point on this laptop. The fan noise is incredibly quiet despite what other reviewers say (Even my acer aspire was noisier). I highly love the 144hz display too!!
The only downside I have with this laptop would be that the battery is only 48WH (I can't find any in stock for the 90WH). Normal browsing would do me about 3 hours, and gaming for about 2, however not really that bad as this is supposed to be for gaming so you should already have a power plug nearby.
Overall I give this laptop a 10/10, this laptop is perfect for any gamer! I wouldn't recommend this for normal/light users though, great job Asus!!

1st gaming laptop – This is my first laptop and I was looking for something good enough for casual gaming and general use.

Negative reviews
Do not buy ASUS or any laptop that comes with 1 year warranty, it means it will die after that time frame!!!! – a year have past and now I can tell you that there is a reason why ASUS don't believe in their own products...you see ASUS gives 1 year warranty, I can assume that the reason for that is the fact that they know from internal reports that the item will break down after that period. so if you are buying a laptop for a year and then throwing it to… Read more
the trash you need to buy from ASUS if you want to buy from a company that care about their customers buy from someone else...plain and simple.
my unit died a minute after the warranty of 1 year (which is a joke) expired.
Not as good as expectation – Bought it a week ago. The battery life is terrible, I can only use it for less than 2 hours. Not to mention playing games, you definitely need your charger! This is a gaming laptop. Show details
Good value = real entry price point for a asus gaming – Great laptop good bang for your buck, however it does get over heat quite easily. Besides that so far its been good for every day use. i dont think it'll be super good for hardcore gamers Show details

Great Experience – This is my 2nd ASUS Laptop. For the specifications it has expect to pay 2000+ atleast. I bought this laptop as I do graphic intensive work and Asus TUF handles it very well.

Teenage gamer is happy – Purchased mainly for Leaque of Legends online gaming for a teenager. Performs really well for the purpose. The setup was easy. Needed to uninstall preinstalled McAfee virus protection but licensed F-Secure internet security was able to manage that well.

First AMD Processor Laptop... Pleasantly Surprised! – Very much drawn to the crisp screen and 144hz. Bright, sharp and vibrant. Performance is very snappy. Laptop boots and is in Windows ready to go in well under 5 seconds. Very very happy with my purchase. Using mainly for World of Warcraft and can play smoothly with very high graphics settings. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this device. Very pleased with the product and price I got it for. Show details

Ryzen 9 4900h with the RTX 2060 – Only the second fastest CPU on the lappy market with a GPU that's going to work well with it. Really difficult to beat this device from a price standpoint or any other standpoint. Thanks ASUS Show details

Awesome value – Recently upgraded to this laptop after much research and consideration. Out of the gates it is a lightweight and clean looking machine.

VIDEO and animation at my fingertips, wherever I want! – I am moving back to a windows product with grunt so that I can do video and animation without being limited to a desktop, Thanks so much for gaming laptops that give you that grunt. This laptop is great. I also do not find it that loud as some reviews have suggested.
Perfect – I bought this for my son as a two in 1 for school and gaming. I’m hoping it makes it through high school with him. He likes the look and the speed. Show details
Good value laptop – Was looking for a good all-rounder laptop - general day-to-day use with plus some light gaming. After doing some research bought the ASUS TUF - specs are great for the price. Have only had the laptop for a day or so, but so far so good.
Exceptional Value! – We initially thought this awesomely specced gaming laptop was out of our budget but the Boxing Day sales at Harvey Norman brought it into our price range and it destroys every other laptop we compare it to in RAM, CPU and Speed metrics. Really looking forward to the ownership experience Show details
