This review concerns the Asus TUF Gaming F15 (i5 + GTX 1650 + 8GB RAM).
I bought this laptop for casual gaming with cinematic games and some more fanatical gaming with esports titles. Right out of the box, it's a sleek looking laptop. It's plastic and obviously doesn't feel high-end, but it's fine for the price. This is actually a sentence that also applies to the rest of the laptop.
The most important part is of course the gaming performance. This laptop can run almost all games out there. However, he will have more trouble with heavy new games such as Assassins Creed: Valhalla and Horizon Zero Dawn. With those heavy games you still get a frame rate of around 40-50 fps on medium settings (with some drops to 30 in cutscenes). This is sufficient to be able to play these kinds of cinematic games, they often also look very good on low and medium settings. Pretty impressive for a gaming laptop at this price!
Somewhat heavier games from before 2020 such as GTA V and DOOM are run quite effortlessly. With these games you get 60-90 fps on high settings, so that the game looks great and plays smoothly.
For e-sports titles, this laptop is really more than enough. CS:GO, League of Legends and Valorant easily reach 100-150 fps on high settings, this is of course a good combination with the 144 Hz screen, making these games feel very fluid. If you're a bit more fanatical with these kinds of games, you'll be fine with this!
The screen gives a bit of a mixed feeling. On the one hand, it is sharp with a high refresh rate of 144 Hz, which is certainly not standard in this price range. However, the color range and brightness are significantly less. You see this especially in very dark scenes or when you play in a light room. It's not a deal breaker in this price range, but something to be aware of.
Another plus of this laptop is the "Silent" mode. This laptop can be very loud while gaming. Normally I always get sad about the "bloatware" that comes pre-installed on laptops, only the Asus "Armory Crate software" can be quite useful. You can set the laptop to "Silent", "Performance" or "Turbo". In "Silent" mode, the CPU and GPU will run less enthusiastically, but the laptop will become significantly quieter and you will only lose a few fps in-game. This is perfect if you are in the same room with others. You don't notice much difference from "Performance" to "Turbo".
For ease of use, I can say that this laptop is "good enough" for its price range and purpose of use. The keyboard and trackpad are pretty good, apart from the separate mouse buttons on the trackpad. The charging cable is very short, so make sure you have an extension cord if you are not sitting directly next to a socket. The laptop is not very big or heavy, but also not compact. Partly due to the somewhat low battery capacity, low brightness and loud cooling, I would not buy this laptop so quickly if you are on the road a lot.
All in all I would say, do you like gaming, but you don't have to play the latest titles at high settings and frame rates, you mainly play at home or with friends and you don't need the best of the best. Then this is a very good option for the budget gamer.

This laptop is very fast and has the latest hardware in it, so you can easily run games or another heavy program (e.g. Photoshop and edit videos).

Bought for the less heavy games like the Sims 4. Can also run the latest games at mid (or lower)
