ASUSTUF Gaming F17 (2024) Gaming Laptop, 17.3” FHD 144Hz IPS-Level Display, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050, Intel® Core™ i5-12500H, 8GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe Gen3 SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11, FX707ZC-ES52

ASUS TUF is a high-quality, but affordable gaming PC that delivers!Performance:I have the i5-12500H variant, and this processor has not shown any slowdowns at all! During the initial setup, and for the first 2 days, it was moving a little sluggish, but the Task Manager showed that it was Windows processes that was using most of the CPU and RAM at the time (happens to all computers from time to time). Outside of that, the performance is flawless. I have used it to play Halo: Master Chief Collection, and it runs like a beauty!Wi-Fi speeds are immaculate! The Wi-Fi chip performs flawlessly! Not to mention that it is also equipped with an ethernet port as well. No complaints here.Screen:Upon first bootup of the desktop (after the setup screen), I IMMEDIATELY saw the quality of the screen. Viewing angles are just about perfect as well! This is my first foray into 144Hz territory, and I love it! Transitions are smooth, and I often move the mouse pointer from one corner to another just to enjoy the frame rate. The screen gets plenty bright for indoor use, and suitable for outdoor use as well. Direct sunlight, however, is a bit of a letdown. At the same time, I don't like or suggest using PCs in direct sunlight if possible, as the heat is not good for the device.The color accuracy leaves a little to be desired, as it does not provide 100% of the sRGB color gamut (around 46-55%, I think), so be careful with photo processing. The screen has a matte surface, so there are NO reflections to speak of.Hardware:That being said, this device is great with high/low temps as well! It doesn't slow down with the cold, and it doesn't throttle when hot. The fans do a great job keeping the laptop cool and preventing throttling, even while gaming. Maybe I should try gaming outside in the sunlight....? Perhaps a future edit is in order.Back on track, the fans are audible while performing CPU-heavy tasks (gaming and video processing), but completely quiet while using simple processes, like web browsing and document editing. In fact, I thought the fans turned off, but I can feel a very slight breeze from the back of the device at all times. For simple tasks, this is actually just fine to use in your lap. The rear vents prevent overheating when used on your lap as well. I do not suggest using it in your lap while gaming.The hinge for the screen is sturdy, and the laptop material feels durable and looks good. The keyboard and wrist-rests get smudges, though. Not too fond with that. It is easy to clean with a microfiber cloth, though, so all is not lost.Now, the not so good (don't worry, the list is short):Battery:The battery is easily the greatest letdown for this computer. For everyday tasks, you can get 3-5hrs of battery life, depending on different factors (fan speed, screen brightness, backlit keyboard settings, speaker volume, etc.). However, when gaming, the battery life TANKS! You might get 1:30hrs if you are lucky. For older titles, these metrics change by a lot. But for Halo, for example, I was at 50% in about 40mins. I imagine that video processing would deliver slightly better results, but not aby too much. Keep your plug handy.Speakers:The speakers are decent. Bass is non-existent, but I did not expect that. The vocals, however, are rather clear. The speakers do provide a stereo experience, with the left and right channels working as intended (great for shooting games to know the origin of bullets and footsteps). I typically use Bluetooth or external speakers, so I don't have too many complaints about this.Conclusion:This laptop is a very solid performer for whatever tasks that you want to do, but be mindful of the battery limitations. Keeping this in mind, you won't regret this purchase!

If you're wanting to buy a laptop for gaming, this is the one. I can play Apex on this beast without any lag or droped frames. Here's the shocker, I'm playing on the 2nd highest graphics settings with amazing performance. This laptop does get pretty hot while being used, but the fan noise doesn't get very loud at all. The overall appearance is appealing, and the RGB backlit keyboard was a must because I can't see the keys while in a dark room. I don't have any issues with comfort while using the laptop. Also if you encounter a problem with the backlit RGB key board you need to disable it in the Armoury crate app then enable it again.

-Buy extra ram-Very user friendly and customizable-Good for running high quality games (160+ fps on CS2)-144HZ refresh is very nice for the price-Fans are fine idk why people complain so much, just use it on a desk where it wont suck up so much dust.- I have had for about a year and the screen is still fine.-very fast and reliable-Never crashes-Beatiful laptop-Has plenty of usb ports and has hdmi and ethernet, sadly no dp- people leave a lot of bad reviews that arent true, before leaving a bad review you should troubleshoot your problem and fix it instead of rushing to open amazon and giving it 1 star for no reason, this happens to laptops all the time just watch a few videos and guides and understand it better.- someone left a review complaining that it had a 4.5gh processor instead of 5.00gh, it clearly states it has 4.5gh, READ DEVICE SPECS BEFORE BUYINGCONCLUSIONBuy if in the market for a gaming pc, it is reliable, efficient and customizable.

When I first got this laptop, everything was great. It ran Stardew Valley and The Sims 4 fine, which are my two main games that I play. Then, NINE DAYS after arrival, it just died. I was in the middle of playing the sims, so I thought maybe it just overheated. Nope. Never got it to come back on. No idea what happened to it. Nothing Amazon or the Asus people told me to do helped revive it.So Amazon agreed to send me a new one out. This one didn't die, but for whatever reason, it absolutely hated the websites I needed for my masters program. It would constantly reload the Microsoft 365 website so I could never actually access anything, would only let me spend about 12 seconds on the school library, and would randomly decide to kick me from other websites. I cleared my cache, cookies, and history I can't tell you how many times. I didn't experience these problems on any other device I logged into. It was so strange.These issues interfered so heavily with me being able to do my school work (the reason I justified buying myself a new laptop!!) That I ended up returning the replacement too.The graphics were great to me, it loaded everything in a timely manner, and I liked the matte screen. But the inherent inability for this thing to *function* had me sending it back and just getting a refund.If you buy this, hopefully you get better luck than I had.
