ASUS’ collaboration with AMD also spills over to the TUF Gaming laptop series which features the latest AMD Ryzen 4000 series CPUs. The two models available are the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 and TUF Gaming A17 SKUs.
New look
Both laptops are given a refresh on its aesthetics with a new TUF Gaming logo and frosted gray finish on the cover. It’s also got honeycomb vents at the bottom which not only look cool but improves airflow as well. There’s a pop-up screw that you can remove which makes the back panel pop up, making it easier to remove – meaning no need for prying it open with a credit card.
