ASUS TUF A15 is WAY Better in 2022! But...

ASUS have made some great changes to the TUF A15 this year (2022), and although this is the best TUF I’ve ever tested, nothing is perfect. I’ve got some problems with it too.

This one's wifi driver better not be broken soon. I have the tuf from 2020 and its so frustrating that I often have to use a wifi usb stick and its slower than the normal wifi

[Ali-qqri]

I really appreciated that you didn't reviewed the version with the maximum specs but the reasonable configuration one. Also thank you for showing the linux support of the laptop as well.

Hey Jarrod, I just want to thank you so much for all your laptop reviews. Your channel has been my main resource for choosing my new laptop, and I can happily say I'm typing this on my new Lenovo 2021 Legion 5 Pro, with 5800H and 3070! Your knowledge really shines through over other channels, and the effort you put into each review really shows - with your extensive testing and attention to detail with each machine. Thank you!

[fps_fordays]

Hey Jarrod I love your reviews and the comparison data you have. You should create a live excel data sheet and have a read only version for us to go and view. You have reviewed so many games in so many settings. The there FPS stats for all laptops in one spot would be a game changer!!

[BAdventures]

TUF is the affordable product line, at least they're improving. Appreciate all the practical info, like screen quality and the single RAM issue. Good detailed review. 👍

[nizzan]

Thank you for clarifying if the type c port can be used for charging or not. This is the kind of attention to detail you really need in a laptop review. I would love to just grab a small 65W type c charger for both my phone and laptop when I'm just traveling light and not planning on pushing the laptop hard, so this is very useful information for me.

I love my 2020 Asus Tuf A15 despite its negative reviews it has been an awesome machine for me and being a 4800H with an rtx 2060 its a great performing laptop as well, will likely replace it in 2024/25 depends on if I can hold out for an RTX 5060 or settle for a 4060 laptop but I should not need one for a while since I have a great desktop and don't do a whole lot on the go.

[Beefy-Tech]

Based on this review I bought the 6800h+3060 A15 with 1440p screen and it's nuts for the money, only 20 fps less then my 3080 laptop at competitive settings (140watt 3060 vs 150 watt 3080).

While I agree Intel do dominate AMD in cpu raw performance this current gen, you cant complain about how good the overall processing power of current gen cpus has gotten over the previous gen Intel and AMD has had a good run with Ryzen 4000, 5000 and even 6000 series cpus <B Processing power for the masses so any Intel or AMD cpu of late will give you all the power you need for the next few years at least. Great job once again Jarrod <B Cheers

[manumoroncini]

You can't imagine how useful are the captions. Thank you so much. If you could translate into more languages, could be sooo helpful. I can understand almost everything you say but sometimes I have to translate to Spanish. Thank you again for putting your effort in doing these videos

Props to you for thinking of people without the higher budget

Great review, It is annoying how most review units are always top spec, (I don't blame you) I mean it's a smart move to showcase "the best" to make your brand look good, at the same time, how many people are really spending $3, 000+ USD on a gaming laptop. I would guess the "average" person is looking for something from $1, 000 low end to $2, 000(USD) high end, I just want the best frames for the best value, I really do not do anything but game and surf the web. Many times IMO with gaming laptops, it feels like "thin and light", mobility, high CPU power, are the main focus of gaming laptops, that IMO is what makes a creators laptop, we all know for the best gaming performance in any demanding game, you need to be plugged in anyways, a gaming laptop, should be chunky if it improves thermals, it should have dual channel standard, it should have decent sound, and a good graphics card, that is the stuff gamers want to pay for, but that is just my guess as a long time gamer.

I’m glad you reviewed the 1080p 144hz model, given the majority of people will buy this model.

[Teeats]

Even though I got myself a gaming laptop thats a i5 6core chip and a rtx 3050 I still enjoy checking out these laptop reviews how tech is evolving

[christianb]

Nice review Jarrod, keep going!
I think it is preferable to have more 3060 machines in the review because their price makes gives them a good price to value ratio. On the other hand a laptop for 2500 USD in comparison to a PC at same price or less (500 USD for monitor and keyboard) can't simply keep up in a gaming point of view.
Therefore gamers could really benefit from a midrange laptop to have reasonable gaming performance and portability.

21:50 Ohhh yeah! Please do F15 vs A15 (2022)...

[skyunn]

I should have waited but I really needed one when it was 2021. I got the 2021 version, the only downside was the MUX switch, sad.

[hyjuta]

To be precise. TUF series is a clone and cheaper version of ROG Scar II/ Hero II.
The ROG Scar II / Hero II RTX 2060 are beautiful, durable and powerful laptops even today.

[myonlylovesakura]

thank you Jarrod, for buying this laptop with your own money to test it. very informative video for me to consider buying this budget laptop.

In some laptop when you add a new second stick you have to put that in the place of first and first stick in that of the other slot and reboot.or in other case new stick to be kept in fist sticks slot and reboot it without adding the other stick.
