ASUS TUF Dash 15 (2022) Gaming Laptop, 15.6 144Hz FHD Display, Intel Core i7-12650H, GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD, Thunderbolt 4, Windows 11 Home, Off Black, FX517ZM-AS73

working well, everything as described

I bought this on sale for $999 USD and I’m thoroughly satisfied with it! It is excellent for gaming and college level work

All specs check out. The temperature on this thing averages over 80 degrees, which means this thing isnt built to last. It is very powerful and plays everything at 60 fps on Ultra, but it gets really hot (gets close to 100 degrees when gaming). I have a laptop fan running on high underneath this laptop and it still gets really hot. I even use it next to a portable ac blowing into it. Nothing helps keep it cool. In essence, yes, its powerful, but trying to keep this thing under 80 degrees is a huge problem that will result in parts failure within a year; heck, even within 6 months. The battery life is terrible (2 hours on average). When you plug it in, thats when you have full power of the GPU or graphics card. When unplugged (using battery), the gpu runs half powered and is cooler, but with a 2 hour battery life, you have to constantly plug it in to use it. Most laptops Ive owned have lasted over 2 years, but this particular one doesnt seem likely to even make it to a year with its heating issues. Considering the cost, its better to game on desktop as you have more control/options for cooling than a pre-built powerhouse laptop.

Out of the box it was wasn’t working well. After a day I was able to set it up and got it running but it ran slow and the screen froze multiple times. The next day when I was turning it on it said that auto repair had failed and the drive had to be wiped clean. I got it when it was on sale and I like the model but now I’m going to have to pay more money for the same product. I love having a 1000 dollar paper weight.

I have had this laptop for about a week now. It works great when running games such as fortnite and league of legends at 120 fps. Screen quality is really good and it truly is a very good gaming laptop for its price. My only big issue about longevity I worry about is the laptop still gets very hot while gaming, and it is brand new. The laptop charger brick also gets VERY hot while gaming so just be aware. I still don’t think that should stop you from buying. However, it does make me wonder if this issue will continue to get worse and worse over time and if the laptop will die on me in a 2-3 years.

Charged this full before starting it up. From setting up windows and getting office installed it took 33 minutes and the battery went to 52%.

This is definitely the best purchase I have ever made as far as computers. I spent a lot of time reading up on laptops because I wanted to make sure my son had just what he wanted and with this, he definitely does. He can do all of his schoolwork but most importantly to him, it is excellent for gaming. It is fast and the graphics are really good. He loves it.

I bought a brand new laptop and it did a software update and crashed overnight. Couldn’t boot back up and display remained black even though lights came on. This is a very common problem with Asus gaming laptops.. they have issues with bios and device drivers.

I really like this laptop for gaming and it handles most of my games pretty well. On my bigger games, the laptop heats up pretty quickly, however.

My son uses it for all his gaming the value is Awesome and fair
