Reviews for the Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506HCB-HN256T
Source: V3.co.uk
The Asus TUF F15 FX506HC is an affordable, powerful 1080p gaming laptop with solid productivity performance. However, don’t expect it to compete with some newer models like the MSI Katana 15 (with RTX 4070 GPU) in gaming performance, or look as beautiful as they are. You’ll be able to run games 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 MSI Cyborg 15 excels at both productivity and gaming, thanks to a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12650H processor and GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. If your budget can flex a little, the MSI Pulse 15 is an even better alternative, packing a 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD storage, and still in the under $2,000 price range.

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.
