The Asus TUF Dash FX516PM is a masterclass in mixing an accessible price with a gorgeous form factor. It has solid performance in a chassis that won’t weigh you down when you need to carry it along, and it gets one of the longest battery life in a gaming laptop today.

Asus TUF Dash F15 2021 Review: Hardcore Quad-Core
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
To sum up this review, the Asus TUF Dash F15 makes quite the statement for itself. This gaming laptop arrives in a relatively lightweight body and offers an impressive battery life. Also, its military-grade durability, well-spaced keys, and gaming performance are pretty decent for the price as well. Having said that, Asus has used a literally underpowered GPU here—whereas the quad-core CPU powering the laptop isn’t the most powerful choice for a gaming laptop either. So, if you can sacrifice portability for sheer power, then there are better options to shop for. On the flip side, if you’re indifferent to the minor dip in performance, then this is still a decent gaming laptop for its price.

80% ASUS TUF Dash F15 Review: Hitting the mark in most spots
Source: Phandroid English
ASUS has an impressive gaming laptop here with a couple of different configurations to choose from, along with including two of the latest graphics cards to hit the market. If you were to ask me whether you should buy the TUF Dash F15, I would say yes almost instantly. There are some other laptops out there that would cause some hesitation, like the new Razer Blade 14, but the starting price for that is much higher than the high-end TUF Dash F15. Overall, there are a few gripes to have, like the lack of being able to customize the keyboard’s RGB. Or missing out on a built-in webcam. Or even the frustration with the rear-firing speakers that could be easily covered up depending on how the laptop is positioned on your lap. But the truth remains that the TUF Dash F15 is a great combination of performance and versatility, and it can handle just about everything you need to throw at it.

84% Asus TUF Gaming Dash F15 Review — A Dashing Performer
Source: Pokde English
For RM5499, the ASUS TUF Gaming Dash F15 FX516PM is a decent enough option featuring the GeForce RTX 3060. But considering the fact that you will not get to enjoy the full performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 in the ASUS TUF Gaming Dash F15 due to the CPU here, you might as well save some money and get the option with a slower GPU. This is a great laptop, just not one that can really take full advantage of a GeForce RTX 3060 or higher.

The ASUS TUF Dash FX516PM gaming laptop embodies immense value as it integrates some of the best hardware currently available in 2021 at a reasonable price point. If you’re looking for a thin gaming laptop that can tackle heavy duty gaming that doesn’t cost an arm, a leg and a kidney, this should be at the top of your shopping list.

2021 Asus TUF Dash F15 FX516 – compact 15-inch notebook with Tiger Lake H 35W and RTX 3060/3070
Source: Ultrabook Review English
As you can tell by now, we’re throwing a fair bit of assumptions here, but I’d say it’s wiser this way given the past struggles with the TUF/Zephyrus G models with whom this 2021 Asus TUF Dash F15 shares many in common. I should have a proper review up in the following weeks and hopefully, fill up all the blanks and answer all the questions. In the meantime, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments section down below.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
