ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX506) review – a decent performer that is easy on your budget

From: Alex Iliev | 0

ASUS’ TUF series has come a long way since their first TUF FX504 laptop. Not only did they broaden their pallet by offering AMD and Intel choices, but they have made effort to separate the brand from the shadow of ROG.

As Lao Tzu has once said, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”. Similarly, the TUF brand was thought the lessons of being a good laptop, which will prove more lucrative for the brand, than if they just leaned on getting people to buy the laptop just because of marketing, and the promises of the parent company – ASUS.

Of course, we are still yet to prove if what we just said applies to the TUF F15 (FX506). Ultimately, it is an Intel-based cousin to the TUF A15 (FA506), and the highest-tier configuration offers the octa-core Core i7-10870H in a combination with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Additionally, there are more budget-friendly options like the Core i5-10200H/GTX 1650 combo.

By the way, the budget-conscious gamer will be happy to see a 144Hz 1080p IPS display, and Wi-Fi 6 onboard.
