Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus TUF Gaming A17 TUF707NV-HX043W
With its dark Jaeger Gray design with angular lines cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and ventilation grilles, this versatile laptop has a gamer appearance.
This creative gaming laptop PC has good connectivity consisting of 2 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 axis wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, a useful HDMI video output to connect it easily to a TV or monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports or even 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) providing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
If you want to better discern the keys, simply activate the chiclet keyboard's backlighting system.
Players will be delighted that the screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz because it clearly improves general fluidity, including in games.
Full HD, the 17-inch screen suitable for videos due to its 16:9 format benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology. It's a shame that it's not high-end because we would then have benefited from a more faithful colorimetry than average.
Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen in any case ensures better visibility in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel while being more restful for the eyes in prolonged use.
Performance, autonomy of the Asus TUF Gaming A17 TUF707NV-HX043W
The Asus TUF Gaming A17 TUF707NV-HX043W may appeal to those who want to have a versatile large format laptop that performs well in gaming and creation.
It delivers good overall power which will delight demanding users.
Because it relies on 16 GB of RAM as well as an AMD Octo Core Rembrandt Refresh Ryzen 7 7735HS processor in which the Radeon 680M graphics module takes place.
We benefit from treatments accelerated by this core which are carried out faster than if we were dealing with a Quad/Hexa Core.
The difference is particularly notable for work that is intensive in RAM and CPU resources using multi-core, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.
Creative people will appreciate this multimedia laptop even more as it offers graphics acceleration of processing under software taking advantage of GPU computing power. This is for example the case with the Adobe, Vegas or VSDC suite.
Because the dedicated high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing graphics card is on board.
However, this GPU primarily targets gamers since it runs recent games, which will delight gamers.
Thanks to the Radeon 680M or the GeForce RTX 4060, you can watch photos and videos. The first is used to the maximum by NVIDIA Optimus technology while its performance is much lower. For what ? Because it consumes little energy, which favors autonomy which is established here at around 4 hours on battery in light use.
The GeForce RTX 4060 is in practice activated by NVIDIA Optimus technology when the performance of the Radeon 680M proves insufficient to perform the desired tasks, typically for gaming.
The storage is up to this balanced configuration since it is entrusted to an SSD with a large capacity of 1000 GB to accommodate multiple games, software and files including, if desired, personal creations.
On a daily basis, the SSD provides great responsiveness/fluidity which is manifested in particular by rapid launches of games/software as well as processing, starts/stops or even arrival on online game cards for example.
Good point for those who are thinking of upgrading this computer, an M.2 slot is available to integrate a second SSD if necessary.
Finally, in case of heavy loads (e.g. games, treatments) this large format versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC is comfortable for mainly sedentary use and heats up and makes itself heard.
To contain its temperatures we can associate it with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
