Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF-ES51 Review
Source: Digit week English
The Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF-ES51 is a capable, affordable 1080p gaming laptop with solid productivity performance. However, don’t expect your games to look as beautiful as they should on the Asus ROG Strix G16 (2023) with an RTX 4070 graphics card. However, if you’re just getting into PC gaming or shopping on a tight budget, you’ll be able to game without a hiccup. While the webcam, touchpad, and speakers may be secondary concerns for some PC gamers, those who will be using this for productivity may want to consider other options than the Gaming F15. The Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58-525P excels at both productivity and gaming, thanks to a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12500H processor and GeForce RTX 3050 GPU.
