Now, while this is far from being a spendy laptop for games, it’s still not incredibly cheap, as nearly $900 can still be a lot of money. That being said, this is a pretty good value, so here’s what you’re getting for that money. For starters, the ASUS TUF gaming lineup of hardware is designed to be a little more durable than your standard gaming laptop. That doesn’t mean toss it around like a ragdoll. However, it does mean it should be fine from the occasional ding where another laptop might actually take some damage.
It comes with an FHD+ 144Hz panel and its 16-inch display, which is a good size for gaming on a portable device. It’s powered by an Intel Core 210H CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU. So, the hardware is a bit older as it’s last generation, but at this price, it’s perfectly suitable for the more casual gamer, and should easily handle most games as long as you turn down graphics settings to manageable levels for this hardware. Additionally, it has 512GB of storage on the SSD, and it has 16GB of RAM.
