Without a doubt, it is one of the best units we’ve tested. Furthermore, there is a NumPad section, which makes the laptop look a bit less obnoxious. In addition to that, the WASD keys are transparent, and you get an RGB backlight. Interestingly, the keyboard itself feels a bit mushy, but you can clearly feel the detection point of the switches, which is exactly where the “click” happens. It is well populated with a Power button and a quartet of media keys separated from the main part of the keyboard. Still, the notch at the top bezel remains, and this is where ASUS houses the HD Web camera and its adjacent microphones.
So, the top bezel has been shaved from 7.92 to 7.6mm, while the side bezels were trimmed more drastically, going from 7.92mm all the way down to 4.52mm. Thankfully, this is possible with one hand. If you want to see the culprit of these changes, you have to open the lid. What they did change, however, is the footprint, making it shorter and narrower by a couple of millimeters. It also weighs 2.00 kilos, something that ASUS hadn’t changed from last year. The machine shows some flex when it’s twisted, but it’s nothing to worry about since the device meets the MIL-STD-810H standard for durability. It has an incredibly low-key design, as the lid shows a teeny tiny TUF logo in the top right corner. Well, the lid is made out of metal, while the base is built from a less expensive, but pretty high-quality plastic. So, what exactly do we get when we purchase a TUF Dash F15 FX517. You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: This is absolutely fantastic news for the gamers out there. The graphics cards have also been given a bit of a boost, but what is even more important in this section is the MUX switch, making it a clean sweep of TUF devices that come with one. However, let’s leave the performance battles for later and focus on something else – for instance, the exterior, where ASUS seems to have made a step in further narrowing the footprint. Well, this is what someone would think if it hadn’t had experience with the Alder Lake CPUs.Įven though it sports 6 P-cores and 4 E-cores, we are pretty positive that it is going to wipe the floor with the 4-core/8-thread Core i7-11375H from last year. Instead of going for the absolute beast Core i7-12700H, ASUS has “settled” for a Core i7-12650H. Looking at the specs sheet of the TUF Dash F15 FX517 (or 2022), we see that the CPU choice is once again unorthodox. While Tiger Lake proved to be successful in general, the 35W solutions were just not good enough, due to their low core count.
In fact, we are pretty sure that a lot of manufacturers were really deceived by Intel’s promises. The TUF – F15 was … wait, the TUF Dash F15 was a very solid laptop last year.
