The updated TUF Dash 15 brings major improvements compared to its predecessor, including a better build and display. However, since you are on the hunt for an affordable gaming laptop that does not compromise on the hardware, you will be interested to know what is running underneath the hood. On Amazon, the 2022 model retails for $1,070, bringing an attractive 18 percent price drop.
For that amount, you are getting one of the best hardware from a portable package that includes a 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz screen, an Intel i7-12650H CPU with six performance and four energy-efficiency cores, totaling 10 cores, but also an RTX 3060. Since different laptop GPUs have varying power limits, the unit running in the TUF Dash 15 can go up to 105W courtesy of NVIDIA’s Dynamic Boost technology while also supporting technologies like Ray tracing and DLSS to increase graphics quality and performance, respectively.
If you want to rake more performance from ASUS’ latest offering, there is a MUX switch that was not included in the previous version. With the MUX switch enabled, which will be done using ASUS’ proprietary software and performing a reboot of the laptop, you can get more performance out of the TUF Dash 15. Aside from this, you get 512GB of PCIe NVMe storage, with an extra slot that can be populated later.
Complementing the storage is 16GB of DDR5 4800MHz RAM, which can be upgraded down the road if you require it. Let us not forget the Thunderbolt 4 port, which can be used to connect an eGPU solution for even more performance in the future. For additional flexibility, there is a complete assortment of ports, such as one USB 3.2 Type-C (Gen2) port, two USB 3.2 Type-A (Gen1) ports, one HDMI 2.0b, one 3.5mm audio combo, and one RJ45 LAN port.
If you are looking for a gaming laptop that does not break the bank while offering top-notch hardware, look no further than this. There is no telling when the deal will end, but for slightly over $1,000, this offer is more than a steal.
