Reviews for the Asus TUF Gaming A15 FA506QM-HN016

80% ASUS TUF A15 2021 review: a compelling gaming laptop for those on a budget
Source: 91mobiles English
The ASUS TUF A15 is a genuinely great performer and has a price tag that has been set keeping affordability in mind. A similarly-specced ROG Strix G15 is being sold for about Rs 20,000 higher. Yes, the TUF A15 is slightly bulky and not very portable, but it serves the function it has been made, which is effortless lag-free casual gaming. It has the gamer vibe and plenty of features such as Adaptive Sync to bring out the best as far as graphical tasks are considered. The display could have been brighter, the speakers louder and battery life a lot better, but the average gamer looking for an entry into this segment will likely be unperturbed by these niggles. I can safely say that the ASUS TUF A15 is one of the best options for entry-level gaming in the market.

15.60":

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.
