Overview
Not a thin ultrabook, the ASUS TUF Gaming laptop is a sixteen inch machine built around a high-wattage Intel HX processor and a GeForce RTX graphics card. A fast refresh G-SYNC screen, a MUX switch and spare memory and storage slots aim it at gamers who plan to upgrade.
Buy it for strong frame rates in current games at the native resolution, helped by the MUX switch and fast refresh panel. The listing notes the factory seal is opened by the seller for upgrades, which matters to anyone who wants a sealed retail unit.
Who it's for
Suited to gamers and streamers who also edit video and want ports for a desk setup. Commuters who carry a laptop all day will find the weight and large charger a burden.
Pros and cons
- Sixteen-core Intel HX processor
- Current GeForce RTX graphics
- Fast refresh G-SYNC screen
- Full sRGB color coverage
- Modest 300 nit brightness
- Heavy, with a 280W charger
- Factory seal opened by seller
- Single-zone RGB keyboard lighting
Performance notes
Frame rates depend on the graphics card's power limit and the MUX switch, which routes the display straight to the GeForce card and cuts latency. The HX processor holds its boost clocks only while cooling can keep up, so sustained speed depends on airflow. The fast refresh panel shows its gains only when games reach high frame rates.
