ASUS TUF Gaming F15

Decent for the cost – Aesthetically it's off to a good start although this is subjective. The keyboard is tactile in its rebound which can take a little getting used to, but the RGB backlighting definitely generates ambience. The screen brightness isn't great and personally I found my eyes getting a bit dry over an hour of use despite the antiglare IPS. I got this… Read more

instead of the FA506II but this is more of an impulse decision because of the RTX 2060 but I'm yet to see a major difference that justifies every dollar of the $400 difference, although I'm not doubting it just yet. The trackpad can be a little sticky, but then, I come from MacBook origins and gaming would be more concerned with a mouse setup than the trackpad. Finally, with numerous modern titles now exceeding 100GB in storage requirement with updates, I'm not entirely confident how long it can last before external storage will become necessary. On a full charge I managed between 3-4hrs of admin (non-gaming) on average setting, this added with the weight (>2kg) does not make it ideal as a portable work solution.

Value for money gaming laptop – I received the unit on the third business day after I paid for it. That was quick considering it's in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. The build is solid and the hardware comes as advertised. I like the texture of the surfaces. The mouse pad can get dirty easily especially if you have greasy fingers. My unit comes with Ryzen 4800H and RTX… Read more

2060 in the AU$2000 mark. In addition, it comes with a 144Hz FHD IPS-level display. That is not easy to beat on price.

That brings me to the display. It is not as bad as some YouTube reviewers described. I'm using it mainly for gaming, not doing any creative graphics/content/video work. I find it acceptable. Having said that, the laptop I'm replacing is more than 5 years old. However, I do notice a dead pixel on my display. That's one of the reasons why I cannot give it 5 stars. I suggest owners do check your laptop when you first receive your new unit.

Another aspect I think Asus can do better on this laptop is the ventilation. The inlet on the bottom grill for sucking cool air in is so small! Would a miniature design change massively boost the performance of this laptop? I hope so.

In general, I'm happy with what I buy and look forward to enjoying the performance it gives me in the years ahead.

Excellent product at budget prices – I received my laptop within 2 business days of ordering it. I was very impressed with the customer service from Shopping Express, they were quick responsive and able to answer all of my queries. Now on the laptop. The Asus Tuf FA506IV-AL043T is package securely and neatly with all components tucket away in separate compartments. The model with a… Read more

48wh battery comes with additional screws, a sata cable and hdd cage to install your own 2.5" drive. All models with a 1660ti or rtx2060 have a spare M.2 drive, which make this great for a desktop replacement providing plenty of storage options.

I was not keen on getting the Bonfire Black colour when first ordering the laptop as the Fortress Gray was not (yet) available. However, the bonfire black is not as plastic/cheap looking as photos make it look. The laptop has a rigid feel and it not easily fingerprint pron, with the exception of the logo on the lid.

Performance-wise this laptop is exceptional with a 4800h 8-core/16-thread cpu and rtx 2060. It can get warm when gaming/rendering, but is never uncomfortable and does not induce sweaty hands, as many competing laptops do. Considering the hardware inside, the fans can be a little noisy, but are much quieter than my previous dell laptop.

The screen of the laptop is an "IPS-level" panel, it has far better image quality than many of the previous TN panels I've used, and a high refresh to back it up. There are plenty of high-refresh IPS screens with better image quality, but the panel of the tuf is still a very nice panel for a value-oriented laptop. It has wide viewing angles and is easy on the eyes when doing office work - I'm quite sensitive to displays.

I have not tested the battery life to make a conclusive review. However, using my current experience with battery life, I estimate it will be will be roughly 3-4 hours when web browsing, which is ample for most situations.

I am looking forward to using this laptop more and more.

Best starter gaming laptop – This is the best laptop to start from when you want to become a professional gamer, I recommend this laptop and it’s affordable as well! Show details
