There is one big question that needs an answer. Is the TUF Gaming A17 FA707 a better purchase than the ROG Strix G17 G713R (2022)? Well, it depends. Undoubtedly, the Strix is the more premium product. Arguably the biggest advantage it has over its TUF fellow is in regards to the display. ASUS TUF Gaming A17 A707’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a very good contrast ratio. However, it covers only half of the sRGB color space. On the bright side, the panel doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment and comes with a 144Hz refresh rate. This, of course, is a huge disadvantage to the 360Hz 1080p option in the ROG Strix. On the other hand, the TUF is the more affordable of the two, and has a big Ace up its sleeve – it has a Web camera. This feature is definitely not new for the TUF Gaming series, but it is a big factor in the decision-making process. Another super important aspect is the performance. We are glad to say that this device posts fantastic scores in both synthetic benchmarks and real-world gaming, and we are really grateful that this series has also received a TGP injection.
