The hardest thing is to find such a laptop that can serve the purpose of heavy work and is yet cheap and powerful. The three-legged horse, the Asus TUF A15, should ride with the 7-series AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS processor and the power pack NVIDIA RTX 3050 (4GB VRAM, 60W TGP).

Processor Performance: AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS

The performance of the computer is backed widely by the eight-core sixteen-thread AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS processor. Unlike its predecessors, the latest Zen 3 architecture can render speed and smoothness to whatever task you throw at this processor. Very much worthy of processor expectation arises from video editing, coding, or using heavy software.

Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 3050 (4GB, 60W)

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 at 60W TGP with 4GB GDDR6 VRAM makes this gaming card qualify to run most AAA games at medium to high settings. The graphics are balanced for realism and performance for Ray Tracing as well as DLSS technology. Smooth gameplay at high frames per second? Now that's a life changer.

Design and Build Quality of Asus A15 TUF Laptop

There is no proper military-grade specification for TUF-level durability for this laptop. However, the solid chassis, RGB backlit keyboard, and good cooling fan do add more to the gaming experience. They added a nice touch to styling, but a bit heavy for gaming

Display and Battery Life

The Asus TUF Gaming A15 flaunts a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with a refresh rate of 144Hz. Thus, the first impression during gaming or watching a video will be one of stunning visual pleasure. Average battery backup is okay for a user, around 4 to 5 hours.

It is available on Amazon, and after a discount, you can get it at Rs. 63,990.
