So, which one is better? Well, both AMD and Intel versions had similar performance, with the Ryzen 7 6800H being better in multi-core intensive tasks, while the i7-12700H being slightly better in jobs where the single-core maximum frequency is more important. It seems that in the end, the price is the deciding factor. As a gamer, get whichever version is cheaper in your region since there is no noticeable gap in performance between the two versions.

Throw in the updated hardware with increased power settings, the updated thermal module, and the addition of a MUX for the un-limited gaming experience, alongside the efficiency of the Ryzen 6000 hardware platform paired with a 90Wh battery inside, and the 2022 A15 is going to be an interesting option in the lower and mid-budget segment of all-purpose computers with a strong gaming pedigree. At the same time, though, I still have some nits with the ergonomics of this series, and with the rather high internal temperatures in demanding loads with the laptop sitting on a desk. Furthermore, the competition has also been updated for this year, and the 2022 Legion 5 or Nitro 5 are now better than ever before, and able to at least match the TUF on most of the important angles. Add in what looks like a higher price tag for the TUF Gaming notebook now, with all the updates, compared to past TUFs, as well as the internal competition from the superior ROG Strix G15 design, and the TUF A15 might not be an obvious recommendation in its class.

The ASUS TUF A15 FA507RM (2022) is the latest revision of the TUF series. Here is our video review of the unboxing, disassembly and tutorials for different upgrade options. Having AMD 6000 generation CPU and RTX 3060 GPU makes the TUF A15 (2022) a true contender for the budget gaming laptop top but can it beat its 12th gen brother?

There's a lot to like about the Asus TUF Gaming A15 for 2022. It’s got the power to run mainstream games on an impressive 1440p screen, and its AMD processor offers good productivity performance. The A15 even manages to supply decent battery life in non-gaming situations. It’s an affordable laptop, though, so the A15 isn’t perfect. Its keyboard is fine for gaming but the trackpad is poor, its connectivity and build quality are mediocre, and Intel’s latest processors are faster than the Ryzen 7 6800H if we're going to nitpick. No notebook will be perfect at this price, though, and the A15’s issues aren’t ruinous – there’s still enough quality here to handle everyday life and this won’t be the last gaming laptop with a poor trackpad. The Asus TUF Gaming A15 offers good quality in most key areas, so it’s an excellent choice if you want a versatile gaming laptop without breaking the bank.

Otherwise, for Rs 1.52 lakh, there's no doubt that this particular variant of the TUF A15 2023 with a QHD display can deliver reliable performance. If you're on a tight budget, there's also an option available with a Full-HD display and RTX 4050, which costs Rs 1.06 lakh. Despite the lower price, it is still efficient, offering the same processor and RAM configuration, albeit with less internal storage.

The Asus TUF Gaming A15 may not be the most powerful gaming laptop on the market, but it really stole my heart. A higher display resolution would make it more alluring, but hitting above 60fps in every triple-A game gives a consistent and crisp experience at a great price. You can pay extra for Quad HD if you want though. For under just £1179.99, this is the perfect gaming laptop for newcomers or those that want a reliable device and don’t need 4K visuals. It’s got an amazingly clicky keyboard and LED one-zone RGB backlighting, as well as a vast selection of ports. If you are willing to spend a little more for a bit more finesse and higher specs, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022) is a great alternative as it packs a lot more power and has the benefit of a 2560×1600 (WQXGA) display. Or, for more impressive processor speeds, look to the Acer Nitro 5 (2022).

The Asus TUF A15 FA507NV ropes in a 144z screen, a mid-range graphics card with ray tracing, and a great keyboard making for a good laptop for fast-paced gaming. Its high-end AMD processor is even more impressive, as it puts its performance ahead of rivals at a very reasonable price. Whether you’re playing Metro Exodus or working on a research project, this laptop will handle power-hungry tasks with ease. The comfortable keyboard and rugged chassis are extras you’re not finding elsewhere. For around $1200/ £1000, the TUF A15 is a great esports machine for certain gamers. However, for those who prefer high fidelity, color-accurate visuals, the TUF A15’s screen doesn’t cut it. Its rugged case, while solidly built, is also very bulky and heavy, making it difficult to carry around in a backpack every day. But these are issues to be aware of before purchase, they don’t affect performance at all.

The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA507, 2023) is a device that can impress gamers and power users. It boasts a strong chassis with a typical gamer-ish design which isn’t too intrusive. The lid can be opened with a single hand which is always appreciated. The backlit keyboard is quiet during usage and the touchpad is very smooth.

The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 is a great laptop. As well as being capable of running today’s AAA games at decent quality, it has enough all-round strengths to make it a good choice for most buyers. Gaming pros will probably want something fancier (but then again probably aren’t too focused on the budget) and video editors and animators will want to look at more powerful machines, but most users will find a lot to love in the ASUS TUF Gaming A15’s subtly mecha-inspired frame.

The TUF Gaming A15 isn’t the fastest 15in gaming laptop money can buy, and its Ryzen CPU isn’t going to break any performance records either – but considering the asking price, you’re getting a serious amount of bang for very little buck. It plays even newer titles very well at 1080p, and Nvidia’s DLSS tech should guarantee it copes with upcoming releases too. Elsewhere you get a decent enough display, all-day battery life (if you stick to the Windows desktop, that is), and a healthy number of ports. ‘Military standard’ toughness ratings aside, it should still be better equipped for life on the road than rival laptops, too. Unless your budget stretches much, much further, you won’t see a huge performance uplift by shopping elsewhere. Ultimately, it’s hard to argue with the sheer value on offer here.

Alongside that better value the A15 delivers great 1080p and eSports power, superb battery life, a screen that’s good enough for indoor, smooth gaming and a decent selection of ports inside a relatively manageable chassis. The lack of future-proofed connectivity, screen brightness and a genuinely great keyboard reign the A15’s ambition in, and the AMD processor is fine – but Intel remains better in many scenarios. At these prices, though, the A15 glosses over its faults. It’s a competent, reasonably fast gaming laptop with no huge flaws, so it’s ideal if you want solid gaming power without spending silly money.

It’s taken less time than I feared for a desirable and affordable RTX 40-series gaming laptop to materialise, but the Asus TUF A15 is very much both of those things. While its Ryzen 7 CPU looks a little gutless on paper, unless you plan on running very specific CPU-intensive software you really won’t notice it when push comes to shove. On the flip side, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU ensures gaming performance is very impressive and considerably better than the old RTX 3060, and that’s before you factor in the benefits of DLSS 3. Add to that the ever-appealing TUF design and build quality, decent display and solid sound system and for the price you can’t really ask for more.
