ROG launches all-new TUF Gaming laptops

Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG), an Asus sub-brand dedicated to creating the world’s best gaming hardware and software, has launched the all-new TUF Gaming laptops – TUF Gaming F15/F17, TUF Gaming A15/A17 and TUF Dash F15.

Built on the core principle of providing gamers with fantastic performance, the five laptops come preloaded with Windows 11 and powered by Intel and AMD processors. The 2022 family line-up continues the tradition of powerful performances by offering high-end hardware, paired with a more refined chassis design than previous generations. The entire TUF Gaming family has been refreshed for 2022 with all-new designs while the line-up also includes a brand-new MUX Switch, unlocking even more GPU performance for gamers.

The 2022 Asus TUF Gaming F15 and F17 lead this year’s line-up with the 12th Generation Intel Core i7-12700H processor while the A15 and A17 come equipped with an AMD Ryzen 6800H processor. All four laptops offer up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU with a 140W max TGP. This pairing of high-powered CPUs and high-performance mobile GPUs from NVIDIA combine to deliver incredible gaming performances in all the latest titles. The TUF Dash, originally launched in 2021, was created to present a thin and light form factor infused with TUF Gaming DNA. The 2022 model has been updated and upgraded with the latest hardware, while keeping the thickness of the chassis under 20 mm.

The new addition to all TUF Gaming laptops is the hardware MUX Switch. Many modern gaming laptops route their GPU’s frames through the CPU’s integrated graphics before reaching the display, which offers better battery life but prevents the GPU from giving its absolute best performance. The latest TUF Gaming laptops allow gamers to open the Armoury Crate software and switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by 5-10 percent on average. As high-performance hardware demands superior cooling, as part of the cooling system, the Arc Flow Fans feature an 84 blade design, with the individual blades all having a varying thickness. Despite being quieter than last year’s design, these fans have up to 13 percent more airflow than their predecessor to keep the TUF Gaming laptops cool.

Fast-paced gaming also requires high refresh rate displays, which allow in-game movement to appear much more fluid, so gamers can track enemies with precision. All 2022 TUF laptops are equipped with high refresh rate display options, including FHD 300Hz for the fastest competitive shooters or QHD 165Hz for more immersive experiences and buttery smooth visuals.

The entire TUF Gaming line-up also received an updated design for 2022, inspired by mecha anime. These rugged machines also meet MIL-STD-810H specification and are tested to withstand intense heat, cold, humidity and vibration, more than capable of resisting the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life.
