ASUS TUF GAMING A15 appearance
Compared with the previous generation of ASUS gaming laptops, the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 series adopts dark gray and dark colors, a radial X design, and a hairline outer cover. ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has a big difference in the back cover design. This time, ASUS TUF The upper cover of the Gaming A15 has a bright silver-gray tone, sandblasted matte texture, and TUF logo.
This time, the design of ASUS TUF Gaming A15 seems to be a loud announcement of the existence of the TUF Gaming series. It is not a secondary product of the ROG series, it is TUF Gaming. After the design drawings came out this time, much media commented that the appearance of ASUS TUF Gaming A15 is very trendy. The simple design shows a stylish and neat style, which no longer makes people feel that the ASUS laptop is black paint. And a very bulky notebook computer.
ASUS TUF Gaming A15 also has a big change in the bottom design. It uses multiple honeycomb-shaped hexagons. At first, I thought it was just for a good look. After doing some research, it turned out that there were hexagons on both sides. The closed bevel edge anti-skid texture and several hexagonal bevel edges have gaps. They are designed to be used as air inlets. They take into account the symmetrical shape but have different functions. For the ASUS design team, I want to give 100 points!
ASUS TUF Gaming A15 control panel has evolved
- Hexagonal power button design accords with ergonomics :
On the power button, the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has been adjusted from the original slender square shape to a hexagonal design. The hexagonal shape seems to be a large number of shapes imported in the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 series. In actual use tests, this adjustment is more in line with the shape of the finger. , The pressing is more comfortable and ergonomic.
- Desktop keyboard design:
The keyboard layout of ASUS TUF Gaming A15 adopts a desktop keyboard design to achieve the best gaming experience for players and avoid the feeling of discomfort after replacing the laptop.
- ASUS exclusive patented blank key enlargement design :
In terms of keyboard layout, ASUS gaming laptops have an exclusive patented design with enlarged blank keys. For players who often need to use blank keys in various games today, it can be pressed in a more comfortable position, which is a very practical design.
- Import independent click function:
In the design of the touchpad, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has introduced the ROG series of independent click buttons on the touchpad. I will give big praise here. Because in the past, ASUS laptops only have ROG grades that have this function. ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has more independent click buttons, which is equivalent to more left and right mouse buttons on the touchpad. The evaluation of this design is very good, and the feedback on the buttons is very good. Playing shooting games in an environment without using a mouse can also have a click feeling no less than a mouse.
- Independent arrow keys :
On the arrow keys, compared to the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 series placed below the number keys, ASUS has listened to feedback from many players. This time, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 will separate the arrow keys to prevent players from accidentally touching the number keys in the game which affect the result of the game.
ASUS exclusive Overstroke technology
ASUS exclusive Overstroke technology can provide a 1.8mm keystroke for each key, which improves the earlier trigger point for input accuracy and also improves responsiveness. Compared with the general traditional keyboard design, the calibrated keys can be easily triggered with only 62 grams of force, which is relatively labor-saving in percussion.
For players, Overstroke technology allows the laptop to receive keyboard signals faster and more sensitively, which is especially important for FPS games that require real-time response speed.
The internal expansion slot is further improved, and the laptop has better expansion
According to the sharing by the designers of the ASUS design team, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 is designed as an easy-opening body. The bottom screws can be easily removed with a standard screwdriver, and a special pop-up screw design can lift a corner of the bottom panel, It is very easy to separate the bottom plate, you can see all the memory and hard disk expansion slots.
There is also an M.2 NVME SSD expansion slot, a 2.5-inch hard drive expansion slot, and a memory expansion slot inside. For the previous ASUS laptops, the scalability can be said to be a breakthrough.
144Hz high detection rate IPS panel
ASUS TUF Gaming A15 uses up to 144Hz high detection rate IPS panel. For shooting games and fast-paced games, it can keep the screen without tearing and also have the game screen with perfect color; when you need to work, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 You can also connect 2 external screens for multi-tasking. ASUS TUF Gaming A15 is equipped with HDMI 2.0b, so it can support UHD or 4K movies on the external screen and TV.
Self-cleaning heat dissipation design
Two dust-proof channels located on the edge of the fan can capture the dust particles that run in and discharge them out of the chassis. This method improves the overall system performance by preventing the performance of internal heat dissipation components that are sacrificed by dust accumulation Stability; self-cleaning heat dissipation design can ensure long-term system reliability. Besides, the self-cleaning heat dissipation design not only ensures that the heat dissipation system of each device still maintains strong performance under long-term operation, but also balances performance and noise in different operating modes for specific tasks at the moment.
As ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has particularly improved the heat dissipation capacity, there are two large heat dissipation holes on both sides and back of the ASUS notebook. There are multiple heat pipes and 3 heat dissipation devices inside, which can be used even during intense gaming. The heat generated by the core components is exported and quickly dissipated.
