Check ASUS TUF A15 Prices: geni.us/TUF-A15 Correction - The highlight at 9:36 should be over the ASUS M16 with 13900H, not the 7840HS.

0:07 Jarrod was so exited he couldn’t even complete the dialogue 😂

Your channel is a reflection of your hard work and talent, thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks for the review end up getting this for the 6h battery life doing light work. Was gonna get the neo helios 16 with 2k screen but 2h battery life and liquid metal is just a nono for me. Grateful for in depth reviewers like you who did comparison not just for gaming but general use as well.

0:06 Yeah, let's get straight into the review!

You really went straight into it with that intro edit!

Got this laptop 1 week ago. I was choosing between so many of them and ended up with this one as the best in terms of price/quality in my area (fa507xi). Not to mention that this is my very first gaming laptop with relevant hardware. I was playing games on youtube for 10+ years. This is a great machine. I'm playing my favorite games without even bothering myself to check video settings. Temperatures don't go up to extreme numbers. Everything is working perfectly smooth. There are only 2 slight minuses: 1. Display could be brighter 2. Latest nvidia driver was causing micro stuttering every 2 sec after several hours of gameplay (recommended driver from official website solved the problem) My grade is 9.5/10

Just purchased 4 days ago. Asus TUF A15 R7 RTX 4050 16GB/1TB for $974. It's an upgrade for my 11 years old Samsung laptop, haven't play any heavy games yet because I was too busy for editing videos most of the time, I can say I didn't regrets with the purchase.

wow did not expected that you will make this video, im interested in that model!

Jarrod, the abrupt cut in the intro made me laugh! HAHAHAHA I love your humor! Great video!

Another Tuf A15 vs Legion Slim 5 comparison may come in handy for consumers. Hoping you will do it again this year

I purchased the RTX 4070 Ryzen 9 7940hs FA507xi iteration of this laptop in August for £1,299 (on offer in Curry's UK). At the exact time of purchase I upgraded to 32GB DDR5-4800 RAM (£74) as well as an additional 4TB NVMe (WD Black 7200MB Gen4) that was on sale for £239. Initially I got it to edit but wow! What I brilliant gaming rig it is - I managed to play the entire campaign of Max Payne 3, at max settings 60fps at 8K on my QN700B (also tried 4k 120fps max settings AA x4 on my LG C2 42 inch without issue). Also, Rainbow Siege runs at 240fps avg at 4K but I'm fairly sure there's scaling going on because I clicked auto detect, everything is ultra and AA is x2 with no DLSS so I'm gonna assume it's at 50% scaling or less but it looks great. Wolfenstein Young blood runs 60fps ultra settings with Ray tracing at 8k using DLSS. I've not really played much else but I can tell you it's a very very competent editing rig. My daily is a 3970x, 3090 & 256GB ram and the laptop is actually smoother at scrubbing on occasion. BTW the channel I'm commenting from is not my work channel. I'm a professional editor who never needed to use/own a personal laptop until I ended up in hospital for a couple of months - couldn't bring the work into hospital without a lappy. Anyway I know you're giggling at my gaming choice. I'm a boomer-shooter but 2077, Alan Wake 2, HLL etc probably all run beyond what the display can muster which is actually very good considering the price. The accuracy and brightness certainly outgunned anything else for the same money. FYI the company laptop is the Asus ROG Zephyrus duo 16 gx650py = £4,500 Ryzen 9 16c/32t, RTX 4090, 64GB RAM, 1100nits 240hz dual screen awesome bit-o-kit but I'm telling you now that that rig isn't 4x as able, far from it. It's barely twice as able but it is practical, if money is no object or if making money via digital productivity is your game. In fact when scrubbing or playing back footage there's no noticeable difference. Although I'm sure there would be pending complexity, bit rate, keying, luts, length etc of scene. However I cut a rough scene that consisted of 6x layers deep from 6x action cameras at 4k each at half rez no proxies on the timeline that was nearly 10 minutes in length with no issues. The only thing I noticed under immense stress was that the CPU gets hotter than the GPU which never went above 73°c for me. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work! PS both my ram slots were occupied, unfortunately. This meant I had to buy a 32gb so-dimm kit and am stuck with 16Gb DDR5 which no one will need or want as thats effectively the base amount to start with. I was going to go off-spec and populate with 64GB 5200mhz, which should work but I didn't want to risk the hassle of returning the ram if it didn't work. Plus for the scenes I'd be editing on the lappy 64GB would have been unnecessary but I'm the kinda person that prefers to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Also, my panel is also 1080p 144hz and seems very good in comparison to your unit but panels can be like silicon. I'd not master colours for serious work using the panel but I would in a pinch (I'd use anything in a pinch if I absolutely had to produce something). Compared to others it is a seriously good buy and great value for money.

I know it isn't really the way to benchmark, but I'd love to see performance and battery life results with the community made replacement for Armoury Crate- G-Helper. As we all know, Armoury Crate is a resource hog. In my case, when I switched to G-Helper my CPU temps dropped from 65C idle to ~49C. My battery life also was slightly better though Intel CPUs still lose to AMD in that regard.

This is why Jarrod is the GOAT. We are kind of closing in on the year, you have pretty much reviewed nearly every single laptop worth reviewing imo (Asus zephyrus g16 maybe not done) . Can't wait for some end of the year comparisons like last year.

let's go! this has been my request from you for a while. thanks Jarrod!

Nice that they left 1 ram slot empty, makes it much cheaper to upgrade. Especially important for budget laptops

Yoooo was waiting for this one since 4 months

I still have my tuf fx505du with a gtx 1660ti from 2020 and it still works great I use it as a desktop replacement and for 850 dollars it was the best buy I ever made

Finally!! Thanks Jarrod

Incredible video as always Jarrod! I recently purchased this laptop and for some reason my idle CPU temps on Performance mode are at around 70 degrees Celsius. The fans are off, but should the temperature go so high up? Please respond if you have the time!

Variances in 1% lows could be the result of driver optimizations since you've tested this laptop with one of the most recent versions while your other data is based on older sets.

Thank you very much for this video

I am getting this laptop soon hopefully it lives up to the expectations.

Been waiting for this review forever! I was hoping to get the 4050 version but it seems it isnt really worth its price.

10:30 It would be awesome if the loudness comparison charts where presented as well, like the other performace charts comparing different / similar laptops.

Screens add so much to the experience, sad that it's the first victim of price reduction. You have good music taste. :d Love and blessings!

0:37 you got me there, gotta admit.

I purchased Asus TUF A15 FA507XI last week. The main reason why i choose this over Zephyrus G14 was because the upgradability. I added WD Black SN850X 4TB and upgrade the ram with DDR5 64GB 5600 MHz. I use this laptop for work (70%) and gaming (30%).

Great review! I really do understand the importance of acknowledging the difference between 4070 and 4080 coz it's indeed massive. But unfortunately for me, the price difference between them is about a 800-1.000€, which is absolutely crazy and I would rather just chill with DLSS than pay a thousand more ._. (tuf a15 with same specs costs around 1.450€ and 4080 laptops begin at +-2.400€ price tag im Germany)

One of the main competitor to this is the Nitro 16 (2023) [7940hs 4070] Hope you can do a comparison.

Awesome video jarrod. How can you tell which of the ports directly connect to the discrete GPU and iGPU ! Thanks ✌🏼

@JarrodsTech, can you look for some details about an upcoming ASUS ROG Strix Scar 16 based on Intel Core i9-14900HX? What changes should we expected? What about MSI Raider / GT versions based on this CPU?

Finally early in one of your videos!

Man i asked you few months ago to review this specific product, and now here it is. For the price, it is a gem. I can't find similar spec or same performance for the same price here in the Philippines without compromising the warranty $1,611.86 after tax. ASUS TUF A15 AMD AMD Ryzen 9 7940hs + RTX 4070. Though I added additional 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM. Thank you JarrodsTech. I really love your review on this one.

Just bought this exact laptop with the 165hz QHD display from best buy for the black Friday sale (1899.99 can). Paired with the three year warranty and a 4tb ssd this thing is honestly perfect for me.

Love the accent!

I am the proud owner of an FA507XI (Ryzen 9 7940hs/rtx4070) and I really love it. I use it for work, study and gaming. I use DCS World in a 23 inch monitor (soon to be upgraded) and handles it very well at 1080p. Will come back as soon as my new monitor arrives to post my results.

I have the R7 Rtx 4050 and it really is an amazing laptop! Work and gaming no problem. Very happy with the price and performance - one of the best value for money machines.

The best reviewer, Jarrod's tech

first time watching my own laptop being reviewed but it is indeed a solid option but it also depends on the price too . here in france the prices are too high i got this laptop for 1500 euros on SALE it was 1900 euros but for the average consumer in europe this is a good deal

I bought this tuf (4070 and ryzen 7940hs) a month ago and ended back at the store to change it for an Omen 16 with a better ssd and a step down screen to fhd 165hz. The guys in the store helped me test 3 of this laptops in total, but all of them had the ssd overheating and randomly freezeing doing nothing but playing overwatch (quite light gaming imo)

Hey Jarrod can you make a video on the msi bravo 17 ckvf 2023?

Bro I just bought one for my birthday last year and I love playing my third party and indie titles on this thing

Finally thanks!

After much research I bought this exact laptop with the Zen 3+ Ryzen 7 7735HS and RTX 4060 (That was the only model available with decent specs in my region) Been using it for the past 2 months and gotta say it's been really good so far. Yes the new Zen 4 chips are up to 15% faster but It wasn't available for me. Doesn't heat up too much and runs games at 1080p like a champ. Battery life is also phenomenal with AMD Really happy with the purchase. Currently watching this video on this laptop : )

Hello can you please do a review on about the msi pulse 17 b13vgk with the i9-13900h and rtx4070?

Great review. Wish you had the RTX 4050 since this is a budget laptop. Looks like the Acer Nitro 16 is the way to go this year for the best bang for buck. Just wish it was thinner and lighter.

Please do a review on the msi pulse 15

Hi Jarrod. if you see this could you make a review of this gaming laptops Hansung bossmonster series? and how it compares to the like of asus..ect. This is a Korean brand by the way and seem to be getting in spotlights due to their affordable prices. Thank you

0:05 "you didt have to cut me off"

i bought the 4060 tuf f15, and oh boy i just play zomboid these past few days and its overkill xD

Hey Jarrod love your laptop/tech reviews would you be able to review the Acer Predator Triton 17x (2023) laptop please it is a 17 inch laptop and has a intel i9-13900hx RTX 4090 GPU and a 250hz Mini LED screen option and there are no in depth reviews of it as of yet would love to see it on the channel!

Watching this on my TUF A15 2023 4050 variant.

Got this model a year and a half ago or so. Before I get flamed, I didn't grow up with a lot of games, so it had a lot of influence on me. Roblox is the main game I play, but I don't know why, it never happened with my previous laptop (old, far worse, not a gaming laptop), but roblox would randomly freeze, and it does it semi-often. It isn't my internet connection, because it hasn't changed at all. That's about the only complaint I can recall having, other than that, it's great for my first ever gaming laptop. Although, when I tried getting it, the place I was buying from kept delaying it and delaying it, eventually the black friday sale expiring from $1300 returning to $1500, which sucked.

Dat early edit was so good I am not sure if it is a joke, a troll or a mistake. Also, did you change your hair?

Great review Jarrod! But can you compare it to MSI katana 15 bvgk 1417id? It has same SPECS with Asus a15 with a slight better SPECS & better price, Will ya?

i bought it three years ago, It's an amazing laptop that served me well for three years until something in the motherboard burned suddenly 😕 week ago

Hi Jarrod, I have the same version as yours but I have the panel OD option in armory crate, you might be missing some drivers.

nice shirt brother \m/

Within a 1 minute, you've already gotten two laughs out of me. Don't even need to keep me watching, you've got the like 🤣🤣

Anything with AMD Pheonix Range is gold!

This looks like an all-rounder

What is your opinion of the short arrow keys, do you find it annoying or is is something you get used to very quick.

I have bought this laptop for $700 with ryzen 7 and rtx 3060. It is a beast for perfomance and my all heavy tasks. Battery was the problem until I got driver updates. But still carry the charger bcz it's 48wh battery lasts 4 hours

I’m thinking about buying the TUF Jaeger with i7 12700h and rtx 4060. What is your opinion on this choice?

i got the 4060 version and honestly, it's excellent

Im currently watching this with my A15 2023 with a 4060 and the R7 7735HS(basically the 6800HS) and it was a pain in the butt at first because it was really unstable, BSODs everywhere and web browsers have an issue with RAM access which bad for my online exams that is time critical. It seems the BIOS is the culprit because the latest update fixed most of my problems, the previous 2 were garbage asf. I'm glad they changed the color of the WASD keys to black as the white from last year's model is an eyesore and screams gamer-y even if the design isn't flashy and boring(for some) but the keyboard is inconsistently tactile for my taste but good enough for me since I use a mechanical keyboard so I won't be typing that much on it. What I'm afraid is the plastic side piece the covers the bolt or rod of the hinge is creating some creaking noises. I haven't dropped it yet so it isn't the cause. And turbo boost is just makes go it is thermal throttle for 3 seconds LMAO. It is so useless if you want good temps but I think this also happens to other gaming laptops(this is my first laptop so...).

i actually have this laptop and found it very easy to change the color of the rgb keyboard, and personally have it set to white. also i got it with a r7 7735hs and rtx 4050

Will you review Zephyrus g16 review?

Looking forward to best laptops of 2023 video.

Bro litrally got into the review without wasting time 😂

Would you recommend the A15 with 4050 and 7735HS or the HP omen with R7 6800H and RX6650M? Getting both for around $1075

Hope you review Acer Nitro 16

I was so close to pulling the trigger for the RX7600S version of this laptop. Instead I got myself the last gen Omen with the more powerful RX6650M for my brother. Second half of 2023 wasn’t exactly great for AMD Advantage products. The lack thereof, is rather worrying. Save for the new Framework 16 though, that one has the RX7600S dGPU module.

I bought it 4 days ago. Its a great laptop

I'm divided between the TUF A15 with a Ryzen 7 7735HS + rtx 4060 16gb ram and 1tb ssd, 1080p 144Hz display (IPS NTSC 72% SRGB 100%, 250nits), and the Lenovo LOQ 15 with a Ryzen 7 7840HS + rxt 4060, 16gb ramn but with a 512gb ssd and 1080p 144Hz display (IPS 350nits, 45% NTSC, G-SYNC and FreeSync), the TUF is 100€ more, which one would you guys recommend in terms of overall performance?

im having issues with the thunderbolt port not recognizing drives connected to it after it woke up from hibernation do you have recommended fix for this? thanks

Its possible to use UGreen usb c 145w power bank and game on the go ?

i had the Ryzen 9 7940HS x 4060 variant. So basically what was the best setup for it during gaming and normal use ? and how do i know if i have activated the advanced optimus ? because i saw a asus post yesterday forgot which page, it shows to activate, i have to be in standard gpu mode in armoury crate, while in nvidia choose auto select. is that true ?

in voltage and ability view between the asus tuf rtx 2050 version VS hp victus rtx 2050 which is better by concedring the same ram and other specs just depending on power draw which is better ?

Hello its a good review like always but I am still hesiting with it and a Legion 5 Slim with same spec ryzen 7 and rtx 4060 should I go for it or Asus better because I like Gaming and the tuf design but I am afraid because he got hot too much. Anyways thanks for your review.

Was able to find a refurbished one for $580. Used what i had extra to upgrade the ram and add a new ssd. All toghether it was mabe 700$ wich is still cheaper than buying it new so i cant complain. As "low end" as it is it still blows my old integrated graphics vivo book filp 14 out of the water.

Comparison video for Asus A15 and Asus F15 would be appreciated

I have 4070 with ryzen 7 7940hs, how much benefits it will give me if I would upgrade ram from 16gb to 64gb for gaming performance? I only play cs go at 1080p. Thank you for your advice. In general I am very happy of the laptop.

I recently bought the 4070 one @ $1250 on amazon. I find it to be a good laptop

Manual mode seems useless. If you lower the TDP to minimum, it boosts the CPU to over 3GHz and starts spinning the fans, even if you customize the fan curve.

Please make Lenovo legion slim 5 (16", 2023) vs this Asus TUF A15 (2023) as they're currently on sales with similar price in my country. (1899 vs 1999 AUD)

Which zephyrus duo 16 I should buy right now?

Can you recommend a laptop to play games smoothly on 2k . Sorry, don't know much about specs so really confused.

I have a ASUS TUF Gaming FX504GD that I bought in 2020. The hardware is great, I love it, I even upgraded it ! However, the outer case is EXTREMELY weak. It's plastic, so you have to replace it once a year because it starts cracking (cracking pretty badly actually). My computer repair person said everyone with my laptop has been having this problem. Can anyone tell me if they changed the case for the new ASUS Tuf Gaming ? I really like ASUS computers man, but the plastic case is killing me. Does the new TUF gaming laptops have the same plastic case ? Or is it more sturdy ? Can anyone tell me this ?

I have heard about wifi card problems on asus tuf previous model. Has this issue been fixed in the 2023 model?

I’m trying to get a gaming laptop for Christmas and just saw that that after Black Friday is over the price will be like a thousand dollars so is there any cheaper alternative?

I bought it 3 months ago and it is excellent for the price Good manufacturing materials I don't have any negative comment, but it catches dust, so we clean it with wipes once a month The screen and performance are excellent The cooling is good, but you need to make it draw air from the bottom The battery is great to last for 5 hours If you lower the light to the least and turn off the keyboard lights and the sound of the fans is good, but do not raise it above the average

rencana mau pake monitor tambahan benq xl2456k 240hz fhd atau asus tuf yg fhd280 hz kira kira ngangkat ga port laptop ini?

Would you recomend this that is on sale for 1600$ in my country over a lenovo legion slim 5 R7 that has amd ryzen 7 , 512gb harddrive 16 ram and 4060 graphics card? That costs roughly 1400$ in my country? Because I put an order in for the later one because I was short on money but I reeeeeeally want a i9 or amd9 and the bigger 1tb and better graphics card was also good. This TUF one looked better on paper with higher specs am I right? I never owned a laptop only stationary so I can't tell. But you said the wifi speed was so slow idk if the legion i choose have better wifi or not? But you said I could uprade the wifi does one have to do that oneself or can shops usually fix it? Is it hard to fix self?

Please review - MSI stealth 16 studio, Model - A13VF-023IN

now that windows 11 23H2 is available will the laptops be tested with 23H2 or 22H2 because it can cause some performance variations won't it?

I have the Asus Tuf A15 from last year model i bought it this year and it has 3060 and im happy whit it if i didnt saw youre videos i would probably buy the legnovo legion 5 or the helios which was 800$ more and the lenovo was 200$

Imao, was that quick cut at the start intentional? 😂

You can change the keyboard to some colors from software i just figured out that later to it hard to understand
