Those who’re looking for a reasonably well-performing gaming laptop which is easy on your pockets should definitely check out the ASUS TUF F15 gaming laptop.
The ROG and TUF lines of gaming laptops from ASUS are widely regarded as the finest in portable gaming. While the former is more premium, the latter is produced for those seeking midrange or budget gaming laptops with promised excellence.
Here, the new Asus TUF Gaming F15 2022 is 4.5% smaller than its predecessor. With that, you can expect to jump right into action with its Intel Core i5-10300H as well as its 8GB DDR4 RAM; both of which are sufficient yet works surprisingly well together in 2022.
When it comes to graphics, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU should be able to provide smooth visuals in casual gaming sessions but might not be able to perform at best if you need to amp the settings up to “high”.
All in all, especially for casual gamers; if you’re able to compromise with the standard specs for a gaming laptop, ASUS TUF F15 is a good bargain in view of its competitive price point.
