Customer Ratings & Reviews

First off, the AsusFX706H – TUF Gaming 17.3” laptop arrived in a great box. After cutting the security tape, I open the lid to see the computer. Inside is the unit, power brick, 110v cord, and a couple of brochures. Oh, and a nice page of stickers attached to the inside lid. So, I fire up the laptop, go through the Windows first-time set up and get the unit online. I know there are going to be updates, but first I want to get antivirus software installed. Luckily, I use a couple of different ones and I had room for two more devices on my Bullguard suite. I send myself a link and install the software. After updating that, I go to Windows settings and click Windows Update. There are going to be a few rounds. During or after that, I see that Asus wants to update the firmware. Oh, how I’m glad firmware works through the OS nowadays. I just click my way through, and the firmware is updated. After a restart, I’m good to go. So, this is a gaming rig and the game I choose to try first is GTA V via the Epic Games app. As soon as it starts, I have to install all the Rockstar stuff. Forgot about that. Once that’s done and I’m ready to play, I click the game and it starts loading. I immediately hear the fans turn on. They’re not very loud and that’s great, but they sound like they are working. I play through the scene where he’s following his buddy through town and then I quit the game. It plays extremely well and has no lag or hesitation. I couldn’t get my controller to work, but a quick Google search shows a lot of people have issues with controllers and Epic. I decide the next game is Dirt 4 through Steam. I change controllers to a wired X Box controller and Steam has no problem using it. I play an entire race and it doesn’t even turn on the fan. In fact, when I quit playing GTA V, the fans stopped pretty much immediately. I’m used to my Ryzen 7 desktop that seems to run the fans for several minutes after shutting down a game. So, I was pretty stoked about the performance of the Asus laptop. As for the unit itself. It works great. It has a Thunderbolt 4 port and my Thunderbolt 3 Belkin hub worked just great through it. The left side has that USBc Thunderbolt 4 port, 2 USB 3.2 ports, a regular HDMI port, a headphone jack, and a LAN port. The right side has an additional USB 3.2 port. According to the box, it has 4GB of VRAM, Intel I5 - 11260H/BGA CPU, 512GN PCIE G3 SSD, and 8G RAM. Inside is a second SSD slot and if what I’ve search is true, room for a 2.5 drive. The military-grade seems rugged and able to take a beating, no I’m not testing that. The top does however look great with the TUF logo outlined on the right edge. What else. The screen looks great and with all that real estate, gaming, and using Office suite apps are wonderful to use. I really don’t have any negatives about the unit. It doesn’t come with a ton of bloatware, it looks and performs great, the backlit keyboard is great to look at without any adjustments. If there was any downside, it was updating all the programs to get going, but that’s the same with any machine. Asus includes their own software, Armoury Crate. It too needed an update. Just saying it takes a bit to get the laptop ready to run without constant pop-ups or notifications. That said, it’s just a great laptop, it has room to grow with an empty memory slot, 2nd SSD slot, maybe a 2.5 disk slot, and an easy to access mobo. I’d gladly recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a sturdy and well-running gaming rig. If they wanted, they could certainly pay more for a faster CPU, but I enjoyed playing on this I5 with no issues.

Excellent for the price Excellent computer for the price

Does everything we wanted for a gaming laptop and more.

Works good with the games i play...................

bought this laptop for my travel to florida it ran everything i needed it too but wasnt super impressed with the poor performing 3050ti. i upgraded the ram to 16gb and warzone ran just not as expected from a newer gen gpu

a good gaming machine, it runs games playable rates

It is good and cheap laptop to mining cryptocurrency.

Great gaming laptop, price affordable, good specs.

Good gaming laptop. Runs very cool. Giant screen too.

Good Speedy Machine Had Me A Little Worried To Start With It Kept Failing Windows11 Checks But It Finally Passed Them It Is Running Windows11 Seems A Little Faster Than With Windows10 But Take That With A Grain Of Salt As Windows11 Isn't Complete Yet

This thing is HUGE and cheaply made. But it’s a Laptop under 1k so it’s not bad. If you want to playa game low to high(custom) graphics yes you can this will run triple A games.

It's a really good computer I can stream at 1080p with no issues I got it because I bounce around due to family its reliable and all-around a great PC I have never had an issue with Asus all around its my go-to PC brand

Good enough for me. I'm not computer savvy nor do I walk the walk in todays techno climate, I just know this worked for my FX3 pinball and works well.

Bad to the bone laptop. Love this thing and it has TEN HOURS of battery life. I am in the IT world and 10 hours of battery life PLUS the gaming display is top notch for this price. Can't beat it.

As it came it was terrible. A single 8gb stick of ram was the worst thing they could do for this laptop. I haven’t even owned it for 24 hours and I already want to return it and get my old hp pavilion gaming laptop back. Out of the box it was STRUGGLING to multitask and load pages. Thank god for the 15 day return policy. I already knew the ram was an issue and took the 16gb kit out of my old laptop before I sold it to put into this laptop. Once I did that it really woke it up and made it useable. I got windows and all the drivers/bios updated installed steam and discord. Got a game downloaded with no wifi issues but on the second game the wifi would randomly disconnect. I’d try and restart the computer but it would sit in the restart blue screen loading screen. After 5 minutes I just hard reset it by holding power button. After the reset the wifi would come back up but once I opened steam and the download started the wifi would cut out. When I’d click the little internet logo it would sit there and load forever. I’d try and click the network and internet settings and it wouldn’t even load. I ended up having to go into device manager and rolling back the wifi drivers and that seemed to correct the issue for now. I haven’t even gotten to play a game and I really don’t know if I wanna go through the hassle of setting this laptop all the way up because I’m probably not going to keep it after all this drama. I like the size and it was on sale for $800 but there’s obviously a reason why. I should have jumped on the msi gf65 with the RTX 3060 when it was on sale for $900 now I’m just full of regret and debt for a laptop that works half as. It really looks amazing the style is where all the effort went in my opinion because this laptop SUCKS keep looking.

The ASUS - TUF Gaming 17.3" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX3050 Ti - 512GB is a very usable computer. The screen size and image quality is great - enjoyable to use and play on. The overall build and layout is also very good and attractive. It is actually lighter to pick up than you expect with it's size. Fans are quiet and the keyboard feels just right. I play games like Battlefront, Tomb Raider, Fallen Order, Battlefield, Fallout, etc. I had not trouble with them at all. Smooth, crisp and enjoyable to view on the screen. This is really a very good system. I only gave 4 stars because it should have at least 1 TB of storage and better battery life for gaming.

Wow, the color is so sharp and the speed is terrific too. I also like the speakers when Zooming . Overall this is the best 17.3 laptop I every had.

You get what you pay for. Screen is nice and big and you can play AAA games but uou eill run into some laggi g issues. Overall average laptop.

One of the best price to power gaming laptops that you could buy in 2021 and 2022. There is also room for some easily accessible upgrades!

I am not a gamer but I wanted something that was faster than the other computers I have had in the past. I am still getting used to it but so far it's doing what I was expecting.
