Gaming laptops that already offer storage and RAM upgrades are always a treat to check out, especially when they are listed at a high discount. ASUS’ TUF F15 features an RTX 4070, which is normally found in high-end notebooks. Coupled with the increased RAM and storage count, it is still 12 percent cheaper on Amazon, bringing the total to just $1,299.99. For this price, you get 2TB of PCIe NVMe Gen 4 storage, along with 32GB of DDR4 RAM.
Down the road, just like any other desktop, gaming laptops need to be upgraded with additional memory and storage, but this model has already taken care of that. About the only thing last-gen about this machine is its processor, with the 14-core, 20-thread Intel Core i7-12700H CPU being used instead of the company’s latest 13th-generation lineup. Fortunately, given the lack of notable differences between the two CPU families, you will find nearly no difference while gaming.
The display itself is a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate. The combination of both metal and plastic gives the TUF F15 a decent build, though you should always exercise care when handling such products. The 8GB GDDR6 RTX 4070 supports exclusive NVIDIA technologies such as DLSS 3.0 and Frame Generation that will deliver astonishing framerates in AAA and e-sports titles, making this gaming laptop a must-have for those who want a discount and do not wish to go through the tedious process of swapping out the RAM and M.2 NVMe sticks.
You also get an impressive assortment of I/O, including a Thunderbolt 4 port, which is rare to see at this price point. Budget-oriented gamers who can increase their budget slightly will be more than pleased to drive this machine daily and with the included RAM and storage upgrades, this purchase becomes even better.
