The Asus TUF Gaming A15 looks bold, and it’s got solid Nvidia and AMD hardware alongside decent ergonomics, but potential component issues hinder it – and it suffers thanks to a poor screen and mediocre connectivity. It’s not bad, but there is plenty of strong competition.

TUF Gaming is supposed to be Asus' entry-level series, positioned below the ROG models. If you grab the most basic variant of the TUF Gaming A15, at the starting price of Rs. 60,990, you'll have a decent enough experience. We do think that most people will come to this series looking for the most affordable gaming laptop they can buy.

80% Asus TUF Gaming A15 review: Solid performance in a durable package
Source: India Today Archive.org version
After spending almost two weeks with the Asus TUF Gaming A15, I am left impressed. For enthusiast gamers like me, the TUF A15 offers more than enough firepower to get the best out of my games and even do a fair amount of photo editing. There’s no compromise on performance here. The new Ryzen 7 4800H processor offers visible performance boosts over the older models and with the Nvidia GTX 1660Ti, you are assured of great graphics rendering, without the ray-tracing goodness.

84% Asus TUF Gaming A15 Review

There's been a lot of excitement around AMD's 4000-series processors and the Asus TUF Gaming A15 is the first gaming laptop to land in India with it. Our review finds the processor to be a beast of a performer, improving performance across a host of metrics but as much as 100 per cent. Our gameplay testing found the laptop to deliver very good frame rates and our Lightroom render times were reduced by half in comparison to everything we've tested in the mid-range gaming segment. The keyboard and trackpad on this machine are nice and the port selection is fairly generous, as is their left-side-heavy placement. Asus has used a generous amount of copper all throughout the insides to keep the temperatures well under control. Lastly, the Gaming A15 is also user upgradeable as far as storage and RAM are concerned, future-proofing the laptop to some extent, especially if you're getting yourself a lower-end model.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops based on the desktop GTX 1660 Ti and therefore the Turing architecture without raytracing and Tensor cores. The performance of the Max-P variant should be similar to an older GTX 1070.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

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.
