ASUS TUF Gaming A15 Gaming Notebook Review – AMD Ryzen Powered Awesomeness
Source: The Tech Revolutionist Archive.org version
The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 comes at a great price point of S$1498 with a premium Ryzen 7 4800H processor and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. We found this notebook to perform very well in usual compute tasks, but it failed to meet the mark in games. If ASUS was to introduce a GTX 1660Ti variant for the Singapore market instead, we would have a clear and firm recommendation for our readers. However, this time, we would only recommend the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 if you need the raw compute performance of the Ryzen 7 4800H and wouldn’t mind gaming at a lower graphics quality.

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.
