After the availability of the TUF Gaming VG279QM gaming monitor, Asus is now showing the new gaming laptops called ASUS TUF Gaming A17 and TUF Gaming A15, which combine AMD Ryzen 4000 processors with Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards to offer top gaming performance at a fair price.

The heart of the two new Asus gaming notebooks is the fourth-generation AMD Ryzen processor, which not only works significantly faster with eight Zen 2 cores but also much more efficient than its predecessor. In addition, there is an Nvidia graphics card up to the GeForce RTX 2060 with up to 6GB GDDR6 VRAM and 3200 MHz fast DDR4 RAM.

Asus uses a 144Hz (A17) or 120Hz (A15) fast 1080p IPS panel, which can be controlled with a variable frame rate thanks to AMD FreeSynch. The volume of the case could be reduced by around 7 percent due to narrow display edges, among other things, while the battery has grown to 90Wh so that up to 8.7 hours of web surfing or up to 12.3 hours of video playback are possible on the go should be.
