This exact generation of laptops has rather suddenly reappeared in my country and is currently on sale. ASUS seems to be banking of the fact that the average person doesn’t have a very good memory, but thankfully this video is an excellent reminder of why not the best choice. A shame the competent speakers and excellent battery life (at least on the 90Whr model) are wasted on a device with an abysmal display panel and questionable cooling. Thank you, JT
I bought this model 2 months ago . First day I already found out battery problem. Battery level drop below 50% only after 1 hour of zoom classes. Problem keeps going until today. Second problem came after 1 month use, the keyboard could work at all . This problem happened few times. But recently quite OK. However didn’t use it for typing doc. Third problem came after second month. Now camera cannot work for my son zoom and meet classes. I paid 4200 ringgit for this stupid crap. I really feel want to throw this piece of junk onto the wall. Before this, I have bought 3units lenoVo and they have No problem. I this time just first time tried Asus and I really disappointed. I called up customer support, no use. I have to send it to service center because still under warrantee.unfortunately, I don’t dare to go out at this covid horrible time. Only have to wait until covid gone. My son will have online math contest. I don’t think can join because of the camera problem. I feel super regret, furious and depress for buying this laptop. I swear I and my family members will ban Asus products forever.

It reminds me of a rugged laptop 🤣

Thank god usb c supports display 1.4, wasn’t sure because the official website doesn’t say so. Thank god now I can disable optimus
Hello friend Jarrod. Would you recommend this laptop on the version FA506IV R7 4800H+RTX2060 regardless of its thermal issues criticism? I’m looking to buy an used one for about $1000. Will appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
PLEASE TUF DASH F15 2021 RTX 3060!
12:13 what’s the name of the game?
Does this laptop run minecraft Java edition?
re 2.5" hdd cable: Asus does give you one in the original box…however, the one I got isn’t long enough to reach the plug when my hdd is put into the crade.
got one of these recently, within 12 hours of purchase the display burned up into a white screen of death and couldn’t displayed anything after reboot besides vertical lines.
got it replaced with another type of laptop the day after. Honestly dont know how it happened but I suspect either the weird stock displays they used compared to the decent other parts they have (1 TB SSD drive, 1650ti GPU, i5 CPU…) died or cooling issues since the fan got pretty loud even without Turbo mode.
So buyer beware
Been using mine for about a year casually. It has quirks and the build quality is rougher than my old XPS but it was an excellent and safe upgrade for someone looking to jump into laptop gaming.
Bro WTF! This is a review! Like WTF! You do it so much better than other YouTube big shots. Keep up 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Hey jarrod,can u do a review of acer nitro 5(2021)…..ryzen 5 5600H,nvidia 1650 gtx,144Hz and 16GB ram?

Don’t listen to this Jarod tech ….I don’t know about editing butthis is the beast laptop for gaming under its range… believe me guyzz TUF is beast I am using asus tuf a17 ….I am love with this laptop ❤️❤️
This laptop is suck!!!!!!. I newly bought this laptop 5 months ago. Once I bring home, I found battery only last 3 hours for fully charge, after 1month used, the camera stop working most of the time for zoom or meet classes, sometimes, the keyboard not working. Today is the worst. Its screen stop working completely after I try to restart for many times. When the time I buy, the seller told me Asus will provide on site service,. Once I bought home, I called up for problems, the technical department cannot help to solve peoblems, they change saying they don’t provide on-site repair.just asked me to send to their service center. But I really not dare to out to public place at this critical period. ASUS IS THE BIGGEST LIAR. I feel now so much regret for buying this stupid laptop. Hope everybody don’t fall trap to buy this rubbish.
you are scientific …!
So if i can get an asus tuf ryzen 9 4900h with a rtx 2060 for $1200 canadian is that a rip off????
With my budget I could buy an awesome laptop in US but in Mexico (which is where I live) with the same budget I only can afford an ASUS TUF ryzen 5 and 1660ti, my budget is 1300 dlls but in Mexico the prices are so high, I cannot belive that all the laptops here double the normal price of the product
But I have the 2060 with 90W Battery variant!😐
Most (( ASUS boards for WIN 8 were less than )) WIN 7 boards and less attractive than 386 EISA
CYTRIX boards and PACKARD bell made worst boards with lowest QC standards EXCEPT PCI standard for 4 x4 inch (pakistan)
AGP boards …Jarred.
They Run Paradox Interactive Games along with Total War games, like a dream and that is all I cared about for a $1,000 gaming laptop. I’ll build a Desktop gaming PC next for games like Elite & Battlefield.
What a holly review, damn
i REALLY love the chrome orange honeycomb vents on the back love that touch!!! i hope they keep that on the next gen!
and fix the bottom ventilation
Im new to pc gaming so Im not very keen on what tot look for yet. This video helped a lot. I may be getting the A17 version due to the price. I’ll just be using it for gaming so I think it will be fine.
