First Experience: Asus TUF Dash F15the Laptop, A Must Buy For Gaming Enthusiasts
At a price point of Rs 90,990, the Asus TUF Dash F15the laptop comes with the latest-gen 12th-Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050. It also gets a variant with the 12th-Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, and the top variant costs up to Rs 115,990.
The 2022 edition has some new features. The display still offers Full-HD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate and the processing unit has 8-cores instead of the 4-cores.
Keyboard and trackpad
The Asus TF Dash F15 2022 comes with a full-sized keyboard with a Numpad. There are also four hotkeys to control volume, the microphone, and run Armoury Crate to tweak the gaming performance.
The keyboard offers a great experience with 1.7mm travel. The trackpad is also relatively bigger than the one on last year's model, but it does not matter too much as most gamers prefer using an external mouse while gaming.
Display
Asus TUF Dash F15 has a sleek display. The standard refresh rate is set to 60Hz to preserve the battery, and you'll need to adjust settings manually. You can also create gaming profiles with the Armoury Crate and there's a dedicated hotkey.
Under the right lighting conditions, you can enjoy a good movie viewing experience as the dual-speakers with Dolby Atmos also offer decent performance.
When it comes to gaming, the viewing experience is smooth, and most titles that I played, like Apex Legends and Forza, offered good refresh rates - touching up to the 100-mark.

In terms of performance and thermals, it also meets military-grade MIL-STD standards, which is a great addition. The port selection is decent, and the keyboard gets the job done.
