A solid machine and an ultra-fluid screen
With its geometric details, its relief logo and its backlit keyboard with well highlighted control keys, the Asus Tuf Gaming A17 did not steal its “Laptop Gamer” label. He has all the physical codes, and like any machine delivering beautiful power, it is not a featherweight. With 2.6 kg on the scale, we will prefer to leave it on a desk. Special mention all the same for its robustness: this laptop is certified MIL-STD-810H, an American military standard which guarantees that the device is resistant to extreme conditions (vibrations, shocks, high temperatures, etc.).
On the screen side, we are entitled to a large Full HD slab (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) of 17.3 inches, a diagonal more than comfortable to miss any detail in the game (and avoid playing the nose glued on the screen). We also benefit from the display of a very wide color palette, the screen covering the entire DCI-P3 colorimetric space.
The icing on the cake, the screen benefits from a refresh frequency of 144 Hz, which promises a very fluid display during combos and which makes it possible to eliminate saccades, hugs of movement and other latency effects. And not to spoil anything, G-Sync technology is also part of the game: thanks to the synchronization of the refresh frequency of the screen with the number of images delivered by the GPU, the screen tears, jerks and lags are really minimized.
Excellent daily performance
In the bowels of the beast, hides a Ryzen 7,435hs processor with eight cores and clocked at 3.1 GHz (boost up to 4.5 GHz). It is supported by 16 GB of RAM for more speed; A configuration that allows you to make multitasking without slowing down and to launch more complex software, in addition to playing demanding titles. On the graphics card side, it is an RTX 4060 that has taken their place and which allows the laptop to launch the last AAA titles in 1080p, or even in 1440p, with several features of activated nvidia such as ray-tracing and the DLSS 3. Must to have ultra-realistic images. An SSD of 512 GB completes the whole and considerably reduces the loading times of games, in addition to offering a good storage space.
As we know, such a configuration requires an excellent ventilation system. Asus understood this well and therefore bet on a pair of fans at 84 blades, 4 exhaust events and 5 dedicated caps. And cooling is done almost without noise. Finally, on the connection side, there is an HDMI 2.1 port, a Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a LAN port and a Jack port.
