Customer Ratings & Reviews

The laptop is great overall. Pros: 1. Decent keyboard and awesome typing feelings. 2. 3070 is powerful for most games. 3. Total weight is acceptable and it supports usb-c charging. 4. USB-C all in one connector Cons: 1. Screen looks a little bit yellow. 2. Cooling fans are very noisy. 3. CPU is not very powerful.

This is a great laptop if your goal is to play your steam games on the road but it's a horrible setup for streaming unless you plan to just do a hot tub stream. Any sort of streaming involving OBS and streaming games or even just watching content like YouTube and commentating takes up a lot of resources on this laptop causing the fans to overwork and your browser to freeze. Despite a laptop cooling pad, my entire system came to a halt stopping my stream broadcast. Previous to this laptop I had a Dell G3 with a 10th gen i7, 512GB M.2 SSD, 16GB DDR and a GTX 1660TX and was able to play numerous games, stream them, and run a separate monitor with OBS and Firefox/Chrome running. I had literally zero issues with that setup. The major difference was the screen resolution frequency of 60hz (Dell G3) and the ASUS TUF DASH being 240Hz, giving the ASUS TUF DASH a huge boost when playing games. I normally do streaming and gaming on my tower setup anyway (i7 10700K, 64GB DDR, 4TB M.2 SSD, GTX 3090), but when I'm on the road this laptop is a poor substitute at best. It gets 3 stars for offering an amazing gaming experience just on it's own but this laptop doesn't offer much over older gen laptops costing hundreds less.

Overall awesome laptop. It wasn't powerful enough for my needs, so I got a desktop, but if you want something portable the 3070 version of the asus tuf laptop is awesome. I would not recommend the 3060 version. I bought both and the 3060 version overheats quite easily.

Portable and light. Good performance on gaming and good with battery

Solid laptop for most uses. Plays any game I can think of really well.

The laptop is great, off the rip it looks nice and has a very nice display and it’s aesthetically pleasing. My only issue with laptops is how fast they heat up, which greatly decreases frames and overall performance.

It’s a fantastic laptop that’s portable but with a few issues. Fans can get a bit loud when playing games, and the battery is not very good. It does allow for very good gaming at 1080p typically around 90-110 fps when fans are at performance. I would still recommend this purchase to anyone on a budget.

I bought this cause for being a 3070 I was excited to play games with some good graphics. But I have found I am running temps on avg in the 80’s touching 90’s which I read is not good for long game sessions. I wish they had better cooling to keep the temp down and performance up.

This laptop provides great performance at a great price. The 240hz screen provides a really smooth experience and the 3070 provides enough performance to reach 240fps at least in some games. Don't expect to get high performance in triple a games as it is a laptop processor and graphics card. Only downside of the laptop is that it heats up fast and the fans are loud to compensate, but that's a given for any performance laptops.

Actually a really good little machine. Can get a little warm at times and the fans kick in and take care of it. At first they bothered me a bit, and I wish You could control the GPU fans on it, but it doesn’t seem that you can do that on this (and almost every laptop according to my quick googling) but its pretty rare that the fans get annoying, and I’m usually wearing a headset while I’m gaming. But I decided to keep it as my main gaming laptop. I don’t play any super intensive games, but the ones I do play run incredibly smooth. Probably my favorite laptop I’ve ever had. GG Asus.

This laptop is a beast can handle anything in ultra and is worth the price i upgraded from my rtx 2060 laptop and lemme tell you it is a big game changer

Got this gaming laptop because it is hard to get a good graphic card due to worldwide shortage. I like the light and thin form factor of this laptop that got a pleasant and clean esthetic. Under performing mobile RTX 3070 and 11th Intel CPU, This combination and TDP combination give a decent gaming experience but quite a disappointment. This laptop heat up pretty fast and the cooling seem to be not great as the keyboard gets warn to touch then doing long gaming. Display is pretty good for the price point and seem similar to other brands. Overall I'm not happy with the performance if have better choice I might choose other model

Greta gaming laptop! Runs very well with the new RTX3070 gpu at a budget compared to the other laptops. With the cut in cost beware that this card is the 80W limit version GPU. That means very little room for overclocking. Runs Call of duty flawlessly, maxed out. I double this laptop as mining Crypto as well and it does the job well but keep in mind the wattage usage. Since it’s low it will only produce about 41mhs as opposed to the desktop and better mobile version 135w max I believe that produce about 60mhs. It does the trick and stays cool with the help of a cooling pad or tower fan. Great budget gaming Laptop!!

It is a solid Laptop, Its really compact and packs a punch for the price in the current market. However, the GPU is limited to only 80-85w which makes its gaming performance similar to a 2070 max Q.... It also does not have a webcam but it does at least have a built in MIC. If the 3070 ran at 95w and it had a webcam then it would be a 5 star purchase. If you are going to stream, use as a work station, or run a lot of tasks at once then you might want to get a ryzen 8 core cpu laptop rather than this one with an i7 4 core and get a laptop that isn't as slim with more power for the GPU.

The Dash F15 is an ultraportable that makes a valiant effort to do it all. With a modern ultra-thin design and cutting edge hardware it is the kind of machine we could only dream about building just a few years ago. Unfortunately it still can't quite escape the basic truth that squeezing all the hardware of a gaming desktop into a package this small requires some compromises that keep it from being the one machine that can do everything. First up I would like to talk about the build quality. As expected from ASUS a lot of care has gone into the design, producing a satisfyingly rugged device that still manages to look classy. The case is a mix of metal and plastic with no significant flex to it. The feet at the bottom are quite a bit more proud than you usually get on a laptop in order to increase clearance around the cooling intakes, a very smart design that also makes it clear that you do not want to have this thing sitting on your lap while you game. It also claims to have a self-cleaning cooler, something that I have no idea how to test but would be an absolute godsend if it actually works. Dust buildup in the cooling system is one of the biggest causes of failure in machines like this, so anything that can combat it wins a thumbs up in my book. They've built a generous notch into the back of the monitor to keep it from impeding airflow, which as a side benefit gives the unit a very unique profile when closed. They even bulked out the side of the case enough to include a proper RJ-45 jack for ethernet as opposed to one of the hinged fold-out jacks that admittedly look better, but break easily. While I obviously am not insane enough to throw it down the stairs to confirm it, the feeling it conveys is that of a laptop that's easily rugged enough to be thrown into a backpack and used as a daily driver for years. Moving on to aesthetics, it's slightly more understated than you might expect from a gaming laptop which, depending on your tastes, could be seen as one of its best features. The only thing that really gives away the fact that it's meant for gaming is the fact that it's got a backlit keyboard which clearly accentuates the WASD keys. But there's no RGB, very limited effects options, and they've opted for a very soft and non-threatening aqua color for the lighting rather than the usual aggressive reds, yellows, and oranges I generally expect from ASUS's TUF line. The monitor features very thin bezels around the top and sides as well as a prominent chin, with no web cam to break up the lines. Overall I'd describe the look as more classy rather than aggressive. Which brings us to the elephant in the room: performance. I spent a lot of time mulling over how I could possibly talk about the performance of this laptop without making it look better or worse than it actually is. Ultimately I decided the best way to do it was to establish right off the bat that while the GPU inside it may be called an RTX 3070, it has very little in common with the desktop card that most people are probably judging it by. We've hit an unfortunate plateau in the performance of this new generation of chips where the sophistication of our silicon has outstripped the abilities of our cooling solutions. As such the RTX 3070 chip in this laptop is forced to run with about half the wattage it was originally designed for to avoid melting the thing, which can't help but severely slow down the card. In benchmarks and real world testing it basically tied with the RTX 2080 in just about everything but raytracing performance, where it enjoyed a small (but significant) advantage. Which makes the long term prospects of this thing a bit complex. It can run modern games like Cyberpunk 2077 at maximum settings with a decent framerate, sure. But it's obviously having to throw everything it has into it. As such I do have to wonder how well it's going to be able to play games that'll release in two or three years, which will presumably be leaning much heavier into the kind of advanced features available in the latest generation of consoles and therefore asking a lot more of the GPU. Now, to be clear, I would be astonished if it couldn't still play them at reasonably high performance levels. It is still a ludicrously powerful machine for this price point. But it is important to understand that it's nowhere near as close to matching gaming desktop levels of performance as previous generations of laptops have been, and that this is likely to be the norm going forward. With that massive disclaimer out of the way though, I would like to repeat that this is a ludicrously powerful machine for its size. The Rocket Lake i7 may not have tons of cores but the ones it has offer excellent performance, and even if it can't quite match the performance of a desktop card the mobile 3070 is a beast of a GPU that makes full use of the frankly amazing 240hz panel that ASUS chose to include. This laptop's screen is probably the best monitor I have ever owned, and I really don't know how I should feel about that. And everything is supported by a slightly cumbersome but extremely well thought out set of software and utilities which will let a skilled user configure the laptop exactly the way they like it. As an example, one of the first things it asked me to do upon getting it set up was configure the maximum level of charge the battery could take based on my expected use. I ended up setting it to only charge to 60% to maximize lifespan, as most gaming laptops spend their lives tethered to a wall outlet anyway. With a battery this big that's still enough to last around 8 hours when needed (provided you're not gaming on it, at least) and it'll probably add years to the battery's life, which makes me always glad to see such an option. There are a few features that I'll admit I would have liked to see added. While I really wouldn't have thought much about the decision to nix the webcam a couple years ago it feels weirdly out of touch these days, where so many people are transitioning to remote work and video conferences are more popular than ever. I also have found myself missing having a full numeric keypad, as weird as that might sound. And it needs to be said that this might be one of the noisiest laptops I've ever gamed on, as the fans tend to really squeal when they ramp up to full power. But with a decent pair of headphones (which you should be using anyway - the laptop is way too thin to have decent speakers) I can definitely live with it. So, where does that leave us then? Well, despite its best efforts this really isn't a laptop that can do everything. A 4 core CPU (even a hyperthreaded one) doesn't have enough threads for serious content creators and the mobile 3070 doesn't have enough power to stay out ahead of game developers for very long. But ultimately, that's okay. For a user like me who already has a desktop to take on the really heavy workloads I don't need a portable machine that can do absolutely everything. I just need one that can do enough. Something that I can take notes on during meetings or do work on a plane during the day, then bring back to my hotel and fire up games on at night. And the Dash F15 is ideal for that purpose. It's not as heavy or fragile as the cutting edge gaming laptops, but it's also not as computationally anemic as your average ultraportable. It straddles the divide, being everything I need in a supplement to my other machines. I'd definitely recommend it to people like me as well as students, hobbyists, or the gamer who doesn't consider "medium settings" to be a dirty word.

Great laptop gret display fast great for pc games and work perfect size great battery life weights nothing graphics are sick

Yes this is an amazing laptop with 3070 (MAX-Q 80+5w) GPU. I ran Valley benchmarks & it showed an astounding 200 FPS. Laptop does get hot when gaming. Keep it on a raised platform for cool!

I have had this Laptop for two days now, and it hasn’t disappointed me yet. I am a casual gamer who typically plays racing simulators, Bethesda games, and sandbox open world type titles. I have ran every game on ultra settings and have had very good results. (Beamng, farming sim 19, fallout 4, forza horizon 4, Diablo 3) Buy it, the only negative part is the fan doing it’s job enthusiastically, but the temps haven’t scared me yet!

I went into the purchase knowing that this laptop had a 4-core CPU and a lower TDP 3070, but it still fit my day to day and gaming needs. It's an excellent laptop that has a nice and sturdy body so I don't have to worry about taking it with me every day. When gaming, it does get a little warm to the touch, but nothing too unexpected. My only complaint is that it wasn't shipped out with recent windows and bios updates so I had some driver issues initially, but they resolved themselves after! All in all, I'd recommend this!

Great laptop with good speed. The fan is loud when you turn on the boost mode. Pictures were vivid and refresh quickly. Good for the money. No front-facing camera.
