The Asus TUF A15 is one of the most exciting gaming laptops that I wanted consider. This laptop is pack to the brim with powerful technology at an affordable price.
CPU and GPU
The TUF FA506IV Gaming Laptop comes with AMD’s latest mobile processors, the 4000 series. The 4000 series are cooler, faster, and more powerful than its intel competitors. It also comes with NVidia RTX 2060 graphics for ray tracing support at below 1000 dollars! A never seen deal in RTX laptops.

Memory:
This laptop is rocking an 8 GB single channel ram setup. I would recommend you upgrade the ram to 16 GB dual channel by placing another 8 GB ram in there. The benchmarks and game test I will be doing below is all with 16 GBs of ram.

Storage:
With storage, it comes with 512 GB Western Digital M.2 SSD. There is also another slot M.2 slot where you can expand your drive capacity. Crystal Disk Mark shows that this SSD can Read up to 2473.66 MB/s and write up to 1790.57 MB/s. Really Fast!

Screen:
The screen is a 1080p 60 HZ display with bright enough screen with a color accuracy of 62.1% sRGB, 43.2% AdobeRGB, 44.3% DCI P3. Really good for a powerful budget laptop!

Battery
This model comes with a 48 Watt hour battery. For battery Life I saw a 6-hour usage of watching YouTube and doing light tasks (night and day compared to my old laptop at 30 minutes). Gaming on this laptop with get you around one hour (AMAZING!!).

Temperature and Cooling:
A lot of people have problems with this laptops cooling. However, I did not experience this issue. When gaming on Turbo mode, I saw a max temperature of 87C on the CPU and 80C on the RTX 2060. These are well below the temperature limit of both. At idle, the laptop stayed around 37C for CPU and 42C for GPU on silent mode and the fans turn off too. Near the back you can see two exhaust and an air intake in the middle. The laptop has another exhaust on the right side of the laptop. The keyboard also acts as an air intake and the WASD area stays cool to the touch during intense gaming.

Keyboard and Trackpad:
The keyboard feels really nice like Asus’s higher tier ROG laptops, and the RGB on the keyboard is a single zone addressable RGB adjustable in Armory Crate. When plug in and in sleeping mode, the keyboard will produce an exciting light show! The track pad is high quality and the click buttons are dedicated with a very satisfying click This laptop does not gather finger prints and it is very easy to wipe clean.

Design and ports:
The back panel on this laptop is made with metal and have the TUF logo laser on the panel, it looks really slick and does not spit gamer when using It for work or school. Overall this laptop looks really tuf and could withstand a drop here or there in school or work place. For ports, on the right you get a single USB slot, on the left you get the charge port, Ethernet, 2 USB, one USB type c, and headphone combo jack. This is a really neat design choice as no wires will interfere with your mouse on the right side. On the bottom of the laptop you will see a really cool honeycomb design with air intakes designed into it. Lastly, this laptop is really light weight coming in at 4.73 LB for the laptop and 6.42 LB for the laptop and the charger. It’s easy to carry compared to my old laptop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a Ryzen 7 8 core cpu and RTX 2060 this laptop clicked all the right boxes for casual gaming on the go. Great expandability with the inclusion of an extra M.2 slot and space for 2.5" hd/SSD. Open SODIMM slot and support for up to 32gb of ram. At this price, it's a no brainier.
