The connectivity integrated into this multimedia gaming laptop PC, rechargeable by 50% in 30 minutes, is good, made up of 2 USB-C including 1 very fast USB 4 Type-C and 2 practical USB 3.2 for connecting peripherals, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a monitor or TV in particular, but also Ethernet and audio ports.

Biometric authentication is possible here since the webcam is equipped with Infrared technology allowing facial recognition, in particular via Windows Hello.

In the dark, if you need to better discern the keys, you can activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard (which supports 20 million keystrokes).

High Definition fans will surely regret that the screen here is satisfied with a Full HD definition, whose 16/10th format in any case displays more elements in height than the classic 16/9th.
Players will be delighted that the screen adopts a frequency of 144Hz because it ensures much better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life than a standard 60Hz panel.
Thanks to its IPS and sRGB specifications, the screen offers significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles while reproducing colors more faithfully than average.

Performance, autonomy of the Asus TUF Gaming A18 TUF808UP-S8067W

The Asus TUF Gaming A18 TUF808UP-S8067W is aimed at those looking for a powerful 18-inch laptop for gaming and creating equipped with the latest components.

Gamers can play recent games on this gaming laptop.
Because it features the latest generation NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 ray tracing dedicated high-end graphics card. Blackwellwhich is also unrestricted and therefore suitable for the most recent titles that require 3D resources.
We are even more comfortable playing here as Full HD definition provides a higher number of fps than High Definition (2.5K for example) since it requires fewer graphics calculations.

If gamers will appreciate the GeForce RTX 5070, so will creators, especially if they use software that exploits GPU computing power, such as VSDC, Vegas or the Adobe suite.
Because in this case, the GeForce RTX 5070 ray tracing provides graphics acceleration of multimedia processing.

In fact, the GeForce RTX 507 is activated/deactivated automatically and in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology depending on the tasks performed.
Optimus prefers as much as possible the Radeon 780M solution housed in the processor while its performance is much lower because it consumes little energy and thus promotes the autonomy which here is close to the.

The autonomy precisely represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration since it is around 7 hours on battery in light use, enough to interest some wishing to equip themselves with a student laptop very large format who would not be put off by its heaviness. Or simply those who are considering replacing a desktop computer with a model that is much easier to transport from one room to another and can be used for several hours without necessarily having a power outlet nearby.

Still, the GeForce RTX 5070 is activated by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Radeon 780M, typically for gaming.

The Radeon 780M takes place in the AMD Ryzen 7 260, a processor with 8 cores which adopts the old architecture Hawk Point Refresh but which nevertheless holds up very well, associated with 16 GB of RAM.
It’s a shame, however, that no RAM slot is available to increase it if necessary.

In any case, these components support the GeForce RTX 5070 well in its tasks and deliver solid general performance that a maximum of users will appreciate.
Creative people will be delighted that their processor-intensive multimedia processing taking advantage of multi-cores is carried out faster here than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core. We particularly feel the difference in areas like 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.

The storage is scalable since an M.2 slot is available to insert a second SSD if necessary.
Basic Asus still has the good idea of ​​offering a very comfortable capacity of 1000 GB to calmly install and store quantities of various games, applications and files such as personal creations.

Obviously, thanks to its high speed, the silent, energy-efficient SSD contributes to very fluid and responsive operation, including when reaching online game cards. This task is carried out quickly, just like starting/stopping, carrying out processing or even launching games/software.

Finally, this versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC heats up and makes itself heard under heavy load (e.g. games, processing).
To contain its temperatures, we can add a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
