Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus TUF Gaming F15 TUF507VI-HQ112W
This versatile laptop computer, targeting gamers and creators, has a relatively sober gaming look with its dark angular Jaeger Gray design, certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H and cooled using 2 ArcFlow fans. (84 blades), 5 heat pipes and 4 air grilles.
The connectivity integrated into this multimedia gaming laptop PC is good, including 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, a useful HDMI video output for easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports or even 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.
The chiclet keyboard can be backlit whenever you need to better discern your keys.
The screen will delight gamers and creators alike. It benefits from a frequency of 165Hz providing much better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life compared to the classic 60Hz.
Furthermore, it offers DCI-P3 colorimetric accuracy much higher than the average associated with significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology.
The screen also adopts 2.5K High Definition, associated with a 16:9 format, which lends itself well to displaying videos, while its anti-reflective coating makes it more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, autonomy of the Asus TUF Gaming F15 TUF507VI-HQ112W
The Asus TUF Gaming F15 TUF507VI-HQ112W may appeal to those who want to have a powerful versatile laptop for gaming and creation.
Demanding users will be delighted with the great overall power provided by this creative gaming laptop.
Because it relies on a good amount of RAM of 32 GB (twice higher than the average) as well as an Intel Raptor Lake Core i7-13620H processor with 10 cores housing the Iris Xe graphics module.
Creative people will greatly appreciate obtaining much faster multimedia processing thanks to these components than with 16/24 GB DDR4/5 as well as a traditional Quad/Hexa Core processor. The difference is particularly strong in areas that are intensive in RAM and CPU resources using multi-core, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.
Creators will be even more delighted that the dedicated onboard GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card accelerates processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, VSDC or Vegas.
However, the GeForce RTX 4070 ray tracing is a high-end dedicated graphics card with NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture capable of running recent games to appeal to gamers.
However, concessions may be necessary under the most demanding titles in 3D resources to obtain good playability. Because a greater number of graphics calculations are necessary in 2.5K than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.
The GeForce RTX 4070 is in practice automatically activated/deactivated in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology depending on the tasks performed.
Optimus favors operation on the Intel Iris Xe as much as possible while its performance is much lower because this graphics solution consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.
This is around 5 hours of battery operation in light use.
In any case Optimus uses the GeForce RTX 4070 to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically for gaming.
The storage is up to par because Asus offers this versatile laptop an SSD with a very comfortable capacity of 1000 GB to accommodate many games, software and files including personal creations for example.
The SSD ensures that online game cards can be accessed quickly, but also game/software launches, processing and starts/shutdowns are also fast.
In general, the SSD improves fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis because it is fast, in addition to being silent, energy efficient and shock resistant.
Finally, when it is heavily used (e.g. games, treatments), expect this versatile multimedia gaming laptop to heat up and make itself heard.
To contain temperatures, you can also use a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
