Chassis, connectors, screen of this Asus TUF Gaming F15 TUF506HC

With its black design with angular lines, this versatile laptop oriented creative and gamers adopts a gamer look and is robust with its compliance with the MIL-STD-810G military resistance standard. It is cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and air vents.

This creator-oriented gaming laptop is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its USB-C, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV and / or monitor for example, its Wi-Fi ax modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless remote connections and communications, its Ethernet and audio ports or its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in a USB 3.0 device.

The chiclet keyboard can be backlit which is convenient so that you can better distinguish its keys in case of limited ambient light.

With its frequency of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz, the screen enhances fluidity in games. In addition, thanks to its IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. Here the colorimetry is however average, below that of more high-end IPS panels. In any case with its Full HD definition and its 16/9th format, the screen also lends itself very well to the display of High Definition content such as videos. Treated anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab.

Performance, autonomy of this Asus TUF Gaming F15 TUF506HC

This Asus TUF Gaming F15 TUF506HC is a versatile high-performance laptop focused on creation and gaming.

Many users will be satisfied with the overall performance delivered by this creator-oriented gaming laptop because it relies on 8 GB of RAM and a Hexa Core i5-11400H Intel Tiger Lake-H processor.

This offers the advantage of ensuring faster processing than a Quad Core, the difference being particularly noticeable under CPU-intensive work exploiting multi-core, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.

Enough to interest creatives, especially since the GeForce RTX 3050 embedded dedicated graphics card accelerates processing under software exploiting GPU computing power, such as Sony Vegas or Adobe Photoshop / Premiere.

In addition, thanks to the GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere, you can run many games on this versatile black laptop as long as you allow settings under titles demanding in graphics resources to benefit from good gameplay.

Viewing photos and videos is also possible, which is also the case with the Iris Xe. The Iris Xe is directly integrated into the Core i5 and also allows you to indulge in modest games.

It is the NVIDIA Optimus technology that automatically switches in real time between the Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 3050, the former being preferred to the maximum to offer the best possible autonomy because it is energy efficient.
In this area, bet on about 7 hours of battery operation in light use.

Obviously when it comes to often performing work that is too heavy for the Iris Xe, Optimus activates the more powerful GeForce RTX 3050.

On the storage side, there is an SSD offering several advantages compared to a hard disk: greater robustness, silence of operation, lower energy consumption and greater velocity.

The SSD therefore guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis compared to a simple hard disk. As a result, thanks to the SSD, the starts/stops, processing and launches of software/games are much faster, and we reach for example faster on the cards of online games.

With its 512 GB of capacity, the SSD rivals in this area with what hard drives offer as standard. However, if you need more space, you can rely on an external storage unit such as a USB-C/USB 3.0 device to enjoy fast transfers.

Finally, in case of strong demands (e.g. treatments, games), this versatile gamer laptop oriented creator is heard and heated.
