Laptop
The Asus TUF Gaming A15 is a 15.6-inch laptop that combines AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 95W in a chassis that is less than 25mm thin.
Asus’ TUF Gaming laptop lineup takes the first step in the lineup of PCs dedicated to video games before moving on to the Strix lineup and then to the manufacturer’s premium brand: ROG.
Therefore, Asus TUF Gaming A15 (TUF566QR) is primarily aimed at the performance/price ratio. To do this, it has an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, a 95W Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
