Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR in review: Laptop with Mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life
Asus doesn't aim for maximum performance in the FX517ZR; instead, it focuses on compact dimensions and low weight. This requires a suitable configuration: The Core-i7-12650H processor and the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU (TGP: 105 watts) are solid hardware belonging to the upper mid-range, but they aren't among the top performers. The 2 kg laptop competes with conceptually comparable laptops like the Razer Blade 15 Base Model, and the MSI Delta 15. The broader group of competitors includes laptops like the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58, and the HP Omen 16.

Case - The gaming laptop only weighs 2 kg
The F15 chassis doesn't feature any eye-catching colors, with the exception of the small red foot on the underside of the device. Otherwise, matte black (lid, top cover), and matte gray (bottom cover) dominate. For the case, Asus uses a material mix of plastic (base unit), and aluminum (back of the lid). The battery is firmly built into the device (screwed, not glued). You can access the internals after removing the bottom cover.
The laptop doesn't reveal any workmanship flaws. The gap dimensions are correct, and no material protrusions can be found. The base unit and the lid can be twisted a bit - but the whole still remains within limits. The hinges keep the lid firmly in position, while the maximum opening angle is about 130 degrees. Opening the lid with one hand is possible.
The MSI Delta 15, and the Asus laptop are the lightest devices in the comparison field. The Razer Blade 15 is ahead in terms of dimensions: It's the most compact laptop.
Connectivity - The FX517 comes with Thunderbolt 4
The TUF has two USB-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1), and two USB-C ports (1x Thunderbolt 4, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2). The latter support DisplayPort via USB-C, while only the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port offers Power Delivery. The laptop has a total of three video outputs (2x DP, 1x HDMI). In addition, there's a combined audio jack, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a slot for a cable lock. The Asus computer doesn't have a memory card reader.
The positioning of the ports isn't optimal. Asus crams almost all the ports into the front area of the case's left side. One or two ports should have been placed on the right side of the case here.
Communication
The Wi-Fi transfer rates determined under optimal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices nearby, short distance between the laptop and the server PC) are excellent and correspond to the Wi-Fi chip's capabilities (Intel AX201; 802.11ax). Wired network connections are handled by a Gigabit Ethernet chip (Intel I219-LM).
Webcam
The webcam (0.9 MP) generates images in a maximum resolution of 1,280x720 pixels. Color accuracy isn't the best: The colors deviate from the target. The camera doesn't offer a mechanical shutter.
Accessories
Aside from the usual documents (quick-start guide, warranty information), no other accessories are included with the laptop.
Maintenance
The interior of the laptop is accessible after removing the bottom cover. Once all the screws on the device's bottom side have been loosened, the bottom cover's retaining brackets can be removed with the help of a flat spatula. But be careful: The brackets sit quite tightly. You can then access the SSD (PCIe 3, M.2 2280), the second SSD slot (M.2 2280), the Wi-Fi module, the battery, the RAM, the speakers, and the fans.
Warranty
Asus provides the F15 with a two-year warranty. A three-year extension costs about 129 Euros (~$132).
Input devices - TUF Dash with monochrome backlighting
Keyboard
The F15's keyboard consists of concave keys for the most part. A few keys (e.g. Enter, Shift) are flat. They all offer a medium stroke and a clear pressure point. As for the key layout, it can't necessarily be described as optimal: The small arrow keys and the single-line "Enter" key are worth mentioning. The resistance provided by the keys is acceptable. The keyboard wobbles a bit during typing. This didn't prove to be annoying, though. The three-stage backlight (monochrome, white) is controlled via two function keys. All in all, Asus delivers a keyboard that is suitable for everyday use here.
Touchpad
A multitouch-capable ClickPad (about 13 x 7.7 cm) serves as mouse replacement. Its smooth surface makes it easy for fingers to glide on it. It also responds to inputs in the corners. The pad has a short travel and a clear pressure point.
Display - Responsive, but too dim
While the 15.6-inch matte display's (2,560x1,440 pixels) contrast (1,144:1) meets the target (> 1,000:1), its maximum brightness (266.2 cd/m²) is too low. We consider values beyond 300 cd/m² to be good. The 165 Hz panel offers fast response times. PWM flickering couldn't be detected.
The display supports the AdaptiveSync technology. This means that the refresh rates of the display and the GPU are dynamically adjusted in relation to each other. This is intended to create the smoothest possible image - especially in computer games.

* ... smaller is better
The display shows good color reproduction out of the box. The target (DeltaE < 3) is met with a value of 2.14. This minor color deviation isn't perceptible for viewers. Calibration brings about significant improvements: The grayscale is displayed in a more balanced way, and the color deviation drops to 0.67. The display can reproduce the sRGB (99.9%) and DCI-P3 (98%) color spaces almost completely, while the AdobeRGB color space is reproduced to 86%.
Note: The color profile provided changes the color reproduction to match our calibration.

Performance - The Asus F15 has solid mid-range hardware on board
With the TUF Dash F15, Asus has a 15.6-inch gaming laptop in its lineup that brings every modern game smoothly onto the screen.
Test conditions
The laptop has three manufacturer-specific performance profiles ("Quiet", "Balanced", "Turbo"), between which you can toggle via the "Fn" + "F5" key combination. The "Turbo" profile can only be used when the device is plugged in. The battery tests were performed using the "Quiet" profile, and the benchmarks were run using the "Balanced" profile (often also called "Performance" depending on the version or update status).
Turbo | Balanced | Quiet | |
---|---|---|---|
Power Limit 1 | 90 watts | 80 watts | 45 watts |
Power Limit 2 | 115 watts | 100 watts | 60 watts |
The laptop's preinstalled main control center ("Armoury Crate") allows users to create their own profiles ("Manual"). This would allow the CPU's Power Limits and the GPU's Dynamic Boost to be set individually. Overclocking the GPU and the graphics memory would also be possible.
Processor
The Core-i7-12650H processor (Alder Lake) is made up of six performance cores (Hyper-Treading, 2.3 to 4.7 GHz), and four efficiency cores (no Hyper-Threading, 1.7 to 3.5 GHz). This results in a total of 16 logical CPU cores.
The "Balanced" performance profile provides speeds that are at the front of the Turbo range during the CB15 multithread test (P-cores: 3.6 to 3.7 GHz, E-cores: 3 to 3.1 GHz). The single-thread test is processed at high clock rates (P-cores: 4.1 to 4.6 GHz, E-cores: 3.5 GHz). On battery power, the single-thread clock rates (P-cores: 3.2 to 4.5 GHz, E-cores: 3 to 3.5 GHz) are at a similar level, while the multithread clock rates (P-cores: 2.7 GHz, E-cores: 2.4) are lower.
The laptop allows the complete deactivation of E-cores (more on that later). For this reason, we also ran some benchmarks in this state. The results can be found in the comparison tables.
We verify if the CPU Turbo is consistently used when plugged in by running the Cinebench R15 benchmark's multithread test in a loop. High clock rates can be maintained over longer periods of time. The "Turbo" profile ensures a smoother performance development at a slightly higher level.

DPC latencies
Our standardized latency monitor test (web browsing, 4K video playback, high-load Prime95) didn't reveal any irregularities in terms of DPC latencies. The system seems to be suitable for real-time video and audio editing. Future software updates could lead to improvements or to worse performance, though.
