The laptop now holds high-end specifications that are ideal for casual as well as serious gamers. This is also one of the best laptops in the TUF line-up that can be a good option for competitive gamers as well.

#1 Designed for Everyone

The new TUF Dash F15 is lighter and thinner than the standard TUF gaming laptop. It is 19.9 mm thin and weighs only 2 Kg. All of this doesn't stop it from having military-grade certification. The company claims to have tested the laptop rigorously to survive everything from extreme environments and ambient vibrations to accidental knocks and bumps. This makes the laptop suitable to travel with. The laptop comes in 2 professional-looking muted colour options, Moonlight White and Eclipse Gray. The colour scheme looks good with the added effect of the Blue backlit keyboard.

#2 Processor Capable of Doing Anything and Everything

This is a laptop that can do more than just game. The Intel Core i7 11th Gen processor clocks up to an astounding 4.8GHz, nearly matching the frequency of the fastest desktop processors – enabling amazing performance in a thin chassis. It also features four lanes of CPU-attached PCI Gen 4 for high bandwidth to connect the latest discrete graphics, accelerating everything from gaming and streaming to intensive tasks like compiling code. There is room for up to 32 GB of DDR4-3200MHz memory means there’s enough RAM for productive multitasking and content creation.

#3 Powerful and Efficient

On the graphical front, the laptop is powered by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060/3070 GPU clocked up to 1390MHz. allowing for good power and frame rates. A powerful GPU puts triple-digit FPS within reach in popular games, but a fast display is essential to get the full effect. A gaming panel with up to a 240 Hz refresh rate offers gamers the same edge as esports athletes, with a 3ms response time that reduces motion blur to make fast-paced target tracking more precise. This top IPS-level panel option covers 100% of the sRGB spectrum, the most widely used digital colour space, letting users game, create, and do more in true colour. The Dash F15 feature a 144 Hz display that still offers competitive gaming speed, more than doubling the refresh rate of conventional laptop displays.

#4 Portable Power

Up to 16.6 hours of continuous video playback time means gamers can stream or take care of other tasks without tethering themselves to an outlet. When a full recharge is needed, new fast-charging technology takes the battery from 0% to 50% in under 30 minutes. Battery life can be extended even further with Type-C charging support that can top off a charge from compatible adapters and power packs. Thunderbolt™4 lets users plug in a docking station to drive a desktop setup or hook up an external GPU to boost gaming performance and overall graphics power on demand. The Dash F15 is also equipped with a wide variety of additional ports keep users flexible for any situation.Three USB 3.2 Type-A ports make room for vital peripherals like a gamepad, mouse, and external storage. HDMI 2.0b can be connected to a wide range of displays at resolutions up to 4K. The Type-A port also doubles as a DisplayPort 1.4 output, making it simple to connect a secondary display. Getting online is easy with ultrafast Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). It’s hard to beat the convenience of wireless networking, but wired connections have lower latency for serious multiplayer gaming, so Gigabit Ethernet is also included.

#5 Comprehensive Cooling

Advanced cooling enables the Dash F15 to fit top tier processors in a super slim form factor. A substantial heat spreader and five copper heat pipes distribute thermal energy from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM into four heatsinks, each lined with thin fins that maximize surface area for heat dissipation and minimize resistance to airflow. Dual fans channel air through four outlets that expel heat faster and with less noise than typical ultra-slim designs. The n-Blade fans are specially sculpted to move more air. They’re made from a special liquid crystal polymer that makes enough space to fit 83 blades per fan and still ensure that each blade is strong enough to hold up at high RPMs. The self-cleaning cooling module maintains long-term stability and performance by preventing build-up on critical components like fan blades and heatsink fins.

#6 Sounds Like Premium

Voice chat on the Asus TUF Dash F15 is crystal clear thanks to the new Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation technology. This advanced technology removes a broad range of unwanted background noise from both input and output audio, meaning that both the user’s voice and incoming communications are fuzz-free. It supports any input device, and noise cancellation settings can be applied and adjusted for specific apps, so unwanted sounds can be filtered out of voice chat software without adversely affecting game audio or music apps.
