The ASUS TUF A15 gaming laptop with the Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU and RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is a great choice for budget-conscious laptop enthusiasts, provided a high-resolution, color accurate display is not a priority. Thanks to an ongoing sale on Amazon, the laptop is back to its lowest price of the year so far.

Budget-conscious laptop enthusiasts who are on the hunt for a decently-specced laptop that will meet their needs without breaking the bank are sure to have the ASUS TUF lineup on their radar. The ASUS TUF A15 is one such laptop that appears to check most of the boxes in terms of features. Thanks to an ongoing sale on Amazon, the laptop is back to its lowest price of the year so far and can be purchased for just $1,298 on the platform.

The TUF A15 is powered by the Ryzen 9 7940HS with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of 5.2 GHz paired with 16 GB DDR5-4800 memory (user-upgradeable, up to 64 GB). An RTX 4070 Laptop (115W + 25W dynamic boost) takes care of the graphics and can play demanding AAA titles at 1080p with respectable frame rates without much hassle. A MUX switch is provided, which can switch between the RTX 4070 dGPU and the Radeon 780M iGPU without necessitating a reboot, allowing for significant power savings in usage scenarios where graphics performance is not paramount.

The laptop's 1080p 144 Hz IPS display will definitely leave casual gamers with little to complain about. However, content creators might find it prudent to temper their expectations considering the mediocre resolution and limited color space, covering just 64% of the P3 color gamut as per our in-depth review of the laptop. For most other casual users and gamers, the display is perfectly inoffensive, and should easily suffice for gaming and content consumption.

Connectivity-wise, the TUF A15 offers a decent selection of ports, featuring a bunch of USB 3.2 ports, a USB 4 Type-C with support for DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1, as well as an RJ45 LAN port. Wireless options include Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E. A 1 TB PCIe Gen4 SSD takes care of storage requirements, and the 90 Wh battery offers decently long runtimes, thanks to the laptop's graphics switching ability and the efficient Zen 4 CPU.
