Yantragyan’s Take on Asus TUF A15 (2023)
Asus TUF A15 is a solid gaming laptop that is capable and comes at a decent price. Even though the price has gone up compared to the last generation of laptops of the same class, the performance has also seen a significant uplift.
It is good to see MUX switch in base models as well which can improve the performance by directly using the dedicated GPU in the laptop. The dual-channel memory as a default is appreciated as well.
The display of TUF laptops even in base models has gone up to sRGB 100% which is another good thing to have. It now supports USB 4 which comes with a Type C port that can also be used as a DisplayPort.
Overall, the Asus TUF A15 is a solid gaming laptop with good aesthetics, good performance, cooling, and quality features.
