I recently purchased the ASUS TUF Dash 15 (2022) gaming laptop and I have been extremely satisfied with its performance so far. The laptop has a sleek, slim design and is lightweight, making it easy to take on the go. One of the standout features of the TUF Dash 15 is its 144hz, 15.6-inch Full HD display, which provides clear and vivid visuals. The laptop is powered by an 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics, which deliver smooth and fast performance for gaming and other demanding tasks. The laptop also has a good keyboard and touchpad, which are comfortable to use and responsive. The audio quality is also excellent, with the laptop's speakers providing clear and rich sound. In terms of storage and connectivity, my TUF Dash 15 has a 1TB SSD and a wide range of ports, including USB-C, HDMI, and USB 3.2 Gen 1. The laptop also has good battery life, lasting for several hours on a single charge. Overall, the ASUS TUF Dash 15 is a great gaming laptop that offers excellent performance, a high-quality display, and a slim and lightweight design. It is a great choice for those looking for a powerful and portable gaming laptop.

Shipment was great and the laptop performs decently (didn't expect too much of a cut down version of an i7 with 3060), it's quite thing for its hardware, lightweight (a bit less than 2kg, my previous one was 2.5kg) and offers somewhere between 3-6 hours of moderate use. It can be charged via type C, only using the none-thunderbolt port (shame, could be great to use on a dock for users who don't use it to its max) up to 100w. works great for none-Asus chargers. charged it with 45w,65w,100w and for light usage it works great. when gaming even 100w aren't enough to keep it charged, but you can expect 2-3 hours of repeated gameplay instead of like 30-60 minutes. Due to it's light weight I find it best to carry it around with a power bank on the go as the combined weight is still a bit less than the average gaming machine. type c charging really is a life changer. The display isn't the brightest but I never found it to be an issue even when working in a coffee shop without any shade so good enough, and the IPS level quality is good. Some downsides: - build quality has some issues. some plastic parts that cover the screen hinges sometimes fall off a bit and needs to be pressed back in. the screen has 4 rubbers at each side to prevent the screen from being too close to the keyboard when closed, but even though I used a sleeve bag to house the laptop, the rubber left a permanent mark on the sides of the keyboard which look a bit off, and the screen still got scratched a bit by the display. mostly not noticeable but it's worth mentioning. software wise this machine isn't the most reliable, all Asus software on machine is buggy as hell so I'd avoid anything but the minimal use of armory crate. the machine registers temperatures, usage percentages and much more incorrectly. sometimes the temps are low, nothing is open, but armory crate says GPU utilization is at like 80% and the fans go hard (they aren't very loud, it's just surprisingly random). then you need to enter armory crate and after 3 seconds it resets. Overall, if you put a microfiber cloth between the display and the keyboard (you can find large ones for like one dollar on amazon and Aliexpress), you can take a very small charger/power bank on the go and enjoy great performance and portability at a great price. usually similar machines cost way more. I'd still recommend to see if the issues are relevant for you and your use case but I am satisfied.

Very nice laptop

I've wanted something that I could use as an everyday computer for work and use for gaming in my off time, something that could combine productivity and gaming in a compact design. I did a lot of research and found several (Razor Blade, Sager) but they were just too far out of my price range. I was worried I was being unrealistic for my budget. Then I came across the 2022 ASUS TUF Dash 15 (FX517ZM-AS73). From a physical standpoint I find the form factor is great in the hands and taking it mobile is a breeze thanks to it's compact, lightweight and super sleek design. I can easily pop it into my messenger bag when I need it on the go and when at home I can hook it up to a secondary display and enjoy gaming on it like I would a desktop. Under the hood it's clear ASUS wanted to make an impression. The hardware is impressive, yes, but how it synergies together is the most impressive part. Across the board performance is near instantaneous and (if power options and Armory Crate are utilized well) the battery life is also quite impressive when used for productivity tasks, too. The hardware is an ensemble cast with an Intel Core i7-12650H, 16GB of lightning fast DDR5 memory, a 512GB M.2 SSD and a 6GB GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile to round it out. It should be mentioned that while the computer itself supports Gen4 M.2 drives the stock 512GB SSD is Gen3 - likely to cut costs - however don't let that deter you as for an O/S drive it works great. Also, in a nice change of pace this laptop can be completely upgraded and you won't find any hardware soldered to the board. I have since added a 1TB Samsung 990 Pro in the second M.2 slot (for game installs, storage) and could not be happier with the near-instant performance. Speaking of performance I have yet to find a game title that I am unable to max out the settings on, even when hooked up running UHD resolutions on my secondary display (I have an LG UltraGear 27GL83A-B) which takes advantage of the G-Sync support for silky smooth response times. I've not yet even needed to use the "Turbo" mode as everything gets handled quite comfortably using the "Performance" setting. ASUS did their homework when they designed the 2022 iteration and you can tell they were paying attention, the 2022 Dash 15 corrects many of the complaints from the previous years model and then some. The new cooling system design is incredibly effective and helps cut back on a lot of fan noise, even when under load (using the "Performance" setting) the fans when kicked up are barely audible while keeping everything nice and cool. I'm very impressed with this machine and can easily recommend it to anybody interested in this model. No matter if you're looking for a dedicated gaming laptop or something to use for daily productivity tasks and some gaming on the side the 2022 ASUS TUF Dash 15 (FX517ZM-AS73) is hard to beat for performance and value.

If you are like me and game mostly on consoles and are just looking for a device to pick up some PC exclusives and play them on your TV, then this is great. If you are like me and recently started working from home, and are looking for a laptop that can process many tabs at once, and receive strong Wi-Fi signals, once again this is great. Lastly if you are like me and go to college mostly online, and need any sort of capable computer, then this will work for that also. The GPU, CPU, & ram in the model that I got are relatively high end and seem to work well based on the fidelity of the games I'm able to play. No chronic issues. The monitor is nothing to write home about, hence why I mentioned hooking it up to the TV. & The battery life while unplugged is pretty bad. If you have the battery life extending option on, which keeps the battery from charging above 80%. It is basically unusable while unplugged, we're talking sub 2 hours of use at times. I got mine used for $700. Compared to any other laptop in that price range I'm incredibly happy, and once again this is actually a pretty powerful gaming machine. So if you can get yours at a similar price, go for it.

• I just tried playing Civilization V (an old game released in 2010) at lower than default settings and CPU temperatures were consistently hitting 100°C (= 212°F)! Good for boiling water and starting a fire. In case you were wondering, 100°C is no bueno. As one page states, "anything between 40–65°C (or 104–149°F) is considered a safe heat range for a normal workload. While running more intensive apps or games, the normal CPU temp range can increase to between 70–80°C (158–176°F). ... At the highest loads, your average CPU temps can go up to 80–85°C, but consider this the absolute limit. Sustained CPU temps above 80°C can do long-term damage to the CPU and its silicon. If your CPU goes higher than 90°C for several hours, it will likely reduce the lifespan of your processor." • After 5 weeks' use, flickering screen (see video) --- • You have to use ASUS's famously buggy "Armoury Crate" software to manage some features. • The keyboard lights on my particular laptop are buggy and will often glow on and off when my PC is put to sleep and also when I'm turning it on. (I have no use for these lights and just simply want them to be permanently and completely disabled.) Yes I have already tried pretty much all possible permutations of settings in the "Armoury Crate" lighting but to no effect. (I also haven't been able to find anything in the BIOS settings that can help me turn off the lighting.) • Surprisingly slow Firefox frequently hangs (which rarely happened with my much older laptop). From a UserBenchmark test I just ran: PC Status: Overall this PC is performing as expected (54th percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 46 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components. Processor: With an outstanding single core score, this CPU is the cat's whiskers: It demolishes everyday tasks such as web browsing, office apps and audio/video playback. Additionally this processor can handle moderate workstation, and even light server workloads. Finally, with a gaming score of 93.8%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is excellent. Graphics: 15.6% is a below average 3D score (RTX 2060S = 100%). This GPU can handle older games but it will struggle to render recent games at resolutions greater than 1080p. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) I'm not sure if I'm just unlucky and got a somewhat defective laptop. • There's no specific manual for this specific model. Instead, on ASUS's website, all you'll find is a single manual covering all of their 20+ (30+?) "TUF" models. • Before buying this in early Dec 2022, I'd been under the mistaken impression (based on the Q&A here) that there were two RAM slots with one filled in by a single 16GB stick and the other empty. But unfortunately, both slots are filled in (2x8GB sticks). • I asked (1) here; (2) by email to ASUS; and (3) by email to Crucial whether I could add an old SSD . I got no responses from anywhere. • It was VERY difficult for me to open the back (contrary to the experiences of some here and also my experience with other laptops, including another ASUS model). • The screw for the second SSD slot was screwed in extremely hard and could not be unscrewed. I first tried the "rubber band/balloon trick" for stuck screws, but that didn't work. Eventually I had to use a pliers which worked in getting it out (be SUPER careful if you have to use pliers!).
