Detailed review of ASUS TUF Gaming A15: Too good for the price

With a price of only 17 million, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has a pretty impressive configuration, with Ryzen 5 7535HS, RTX 2050 4GB graphics card and 2 versions of 8/16GB RAM.

Although the market is not lacking in famous gaming laptops, ASUS still affirms its leading position with many diverse product segments for users. This is once again affirmed, because since the time ASUS TUF Gaming A15 was introduced, this 'warrior' has been searched a lot on media sites.

The 'bargain' price of 17 million VND can make users skeptical, especially gamers. Because they worry about whether this laptop is powerful enough to handle popular games or not. However, ASUS always knows how to 'pamper' users with reasonable adjustments, so that the TUF Gaming A15 is beautiful in both price and performance!

Play any game with ASUS TUF Gaming A15

Although it must be affirmed that the Ryzen 5 7535HS combo, RTX 2050 4GB graphics card, 8/16GB RAM is not enough to max out heavy games like Cyberpunk 2077, Helldiver II,. but it is more than enough for you to handle all the top eSports games today. League of Legends, Valorant, PUBG, Overwatch,. are all 'defeated' easily.

You can comfortably max out Ultra settings with FPS always above 140 when playing League of Legends, Valorant. That's enough for every top-notch combat phase with smoothness down to the millisecond.

After running Cinebench R23 and Cinebench 2024, the multi-core performance of this 7535HS consumes nearly 70W of power. This means that the machine can handle all tasks that require a lot of CPU cores, a bargain in the price range of 16 - 17 million. With it, you can edit videos with Adobe Premiere Pro, edit photos with Photoshop, LightRoom or even design graphics with Adobe Illustrator.

Super nice display

Gamers love monitors that can display good images, because it will help them control the situation better. ASUS TUF Gaming A15 is equipped with many modern technologies, with display quality up to FHD 144Hz, 45% NTSC and 65% sRGB, along with Adaptive-Sync anti-glare screen. It will help keep image quality in the best range for the eyes, ensuring your experience is optimized. 

With a 15.6-inch screen, the device is not too outstanding but is enough for use. After all, this is still a device that only costs 16 - 17 million.

Eye-catching gaming design

ASUS has always had gaming laptop designs that never go out of style. Maybe that's why the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 impressed me right from the unboxing. 

The device has angular lines, embossed up and down into blocks that look very aggressive and modern. You will also see areas that are stylized with surface scratches, like solid pieces of metal.

If you look at the technical specifications, the durability of this device is highly rated, with military standard MIL-STD 810H, although its finish is still just plastic. 

With connection ports, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has quite a lot, including port C, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with support for display output via DisplayPort standard, has Power Delivery for charging,.

Easy-to-use detachable keyboard, loud enough speakers

With other experiences on this machine, you will find it easy to use with a full-size layout keyboard, but the number area on the right will have a slightly smaller key size. As for the rest, the key size is still quite accurate, has good feedback and bounces very comfortably.

The trackpad of the machine gives a good experience for the price range, smooth, no stickiness when moving your hand, multi-touch tracking with Windows. If you don't have a mouse, working on it will be quite good. However, we gamers are still more familiar with using gaming mice.

On ASUS TUF Gaming A15, the speakers are loud, the sound range is well balanced, there is no distortion when opening the volume to max, and there is even Dolby Atmos and DTS Audio. 

Through the above factors, it can be seen that ASUS has optimized the TUF Gaming A15 very well to ensure good performance and quality audio-visual experience in its price range. It is very difficult to find a 17 million VND machine that possesses outstanding advantages like this product.
