Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very good performance at a nice price. I like the big display. While not a super speed demon it handles all the games and apps I play just fine. Its lighter weight than my previous MSI gaming laptop which was a nice bonus.

I was adding a second m2 SSD and I noticed there was a decent amount of clearance above and around the drive, and that gave me an idea.... I fished out my gigabyte aorus ssd heatsink and sure enough, it fits, no problem!!! Very cool. I found that the software was a little buggered out of the box and got much worse after I took the w11 update.... to Fix: 1. I reset windows 11, deleting all apps, 2. went into Chrome/Edge and DISABLED hardware acceleration (was causing screen glitches), 3. Uninstalled armory crate (was causing headaches with changing powerstates. The auto gpu mode is also buggy. At least for now, let windows 11 manage this stuff) ^i saw a 50% boost in Time Spy cpu score after those steps.

It has been a couple of months and my laptop is running great! The only complaint I have about it is that it is too big to carry around all the time. But besides that it runs my games very well

I was pleasantly surprised by this laptop. Was ordered for one of my kids, and upon further use I have found it to be pretty performant for its price point. Both the CPU and GPU handle light gaming extremely well. My children primarily play Roblox/Minecraft and Ark and this thing is playing those extremely well. Its not going to play the latest games at max settings at 60fps, but it does alright for its weight class. The only glaring issue that I have with this thing, and why I wouldn't use it for myself is the display quality. Being a cheaper laptop it is expected, but the colors are very washed out and its not very bright. But its budget tier so it is expected.

Very nice. Powerful. Overkill for most of its current use, but hey, go big or go home. As far as reliability, too early to tell, however my last ASUS lasted 9 years, so hoping this goes as well!

Really good gaming laptop. I’ve played Rainbow Six, GTA V, FIFA 22 and lots of other games who use a lot of graphics and processing. The pc did the job as expected. I’m happy with it.

Excellent gaming Laptop. Good power and can run all the games I play with no problems. After buying this I don’t even see a need for my console.

When shopping for a gaming laptop, i didn't need an expensive laptop, for my needs weren't that high. This laptop does all i need it to do for what i use it for and I'm happy with it

I love this laptop. The screen size is perfect. The only thing I would recommend is buying a laptop case// backpack there. I had a little trouble finding one to fit such a big screen!

My son loves this laptop except for its weight (which is expected due to all that is in it and it being 17"). It is great for a gamer and has all the features he was looking for.

I’m so happy with it, nice screen color and size, but expected more for the 3050ti, cannot play any game in high, only med settings cause it only has 4gb of vram

It’s a good laptop and a great graphic card. But not even geek squad can explain why this laptop for to be fair any gaming laptop right out of the box is using 56% of its memory . Yep very sad to see this is happening on three different brands that I tried and return but I keep this one. I just bought extra memory and great yes, That appears to have solve my problem. I would give this laptop or any of the other gaming laptop a 1 star because of that memory problem that no one that work in tech support has giving me a solution. The answer I keep getting is return it. Nope I kept this one.

The laptop fully complete my expectations I love the ability to update the ram and memory by only unscrewing 11 screws The laptop is worth it and I really recommend it

Great laptop swapped the single channel ram for a dual channel for 50 bucks and made this laptop run waaaay better.

I’m knocking two stars off this review because my first ASUS TUF F17 laptop was defective. There was something wrong with the graphics card hardware that caused the laptop to freeze and/or get the “blue screen of death” anytime I had it on battery for more than ten minutes. ASUS should really be doing a better job with quality control on their products. Having said that, I’ll give them a star back for excellent customer service and support. I received a replacement laptop, and I used it to complete this review. This laptop offers excellent performance, but certain design choices hold this laptop back from feeling particularly “premium.” This laptop compromises across the board by combining premium components with various, cheaper, cost-saving measures. The laptop is mostly plastic. I think that the lid might be clad in a thin sheet of metal, but that’s it. I’m not certain how they can market this as “Military Grade” as it certainly doesn’t seem all that rugged. The keyboard deck is very plasticky, and it (unfortunately) has a fair amount of flex to it. Build quality in general is “adequate.” I’ve certainly worked on flimsier laptops, but I’ve worked on better ones too. The keyboard is backlit with a fully customizable, multi-color backlight. This is a nice premium touch, and the keyboard is generally quite pleasant to type on. The keyboard includes a number pad along the right-hand side, and the keys have a nice amount of travel to them. The touchpad is nice and large. I have mixed feelings about the buttons on the touchpad. On the one hand, I like the fact that they included dedicated buttons instead of ambiguous right and left click “zones.” On the other hand, the buttons are extremely plasticky and contribute to the whole “less than premium” vibe. The screen is big, bright, and wide. It’s just about perfect for gaming. This is my favorite thing about this laptop. Overall, I’d say that the laptop aesthetic is “gamery” enough to be fun; but it’s not so over-the-top that it would stand out too much in a lecture hall or coffee shop. Battery life is abysmal at a little more than 2 hours with only light internet browsing and no games or multimedia playing. This is to be expected on most gaming laptops though as quality screens and dedicated GPUs tend to use more power. I certainly can’t fault ASUS for this. The i5 CPU and RTX 350TI graphics card offer excellent performance. This laptop does skimp on RAM some, but most of my games still ran just fine on 8GB. Storage is somewhat paltry at less than 500GB. Most modern titles take up 30-50GB of space. At less than 500GB, you should only expect to install a handful of modern games. To their credit, the SSD that they included does seem to boot up quickly, and loading times weren’t bad at all. The system comes with ASUS’ “Armoury Crate” software for controlling settings, monitoring system resources, and controlling the keyboard backlight. I have to say that I’m not terribly impressed by it. Armoury Crate was unable to see any of my games (including modern triple-A titles), The software also directs me to install ASUS’ “Aura Creator” software for more advanced lighting effects. Upon going to ASUS’ site though, it tells you that Aura Creator has been discontinued and its features have been moved to Armoury Crate (which begs the question, “Why did it tell me to download this instead?”). This laptop compromises across the board to produce a machine that is affordable, works relatively well, and gets the job done. If all you’re looking for is an entry-level device for casual gaming, then this would be an excellent choice for you.

Honestly a solid choice if you're on a budget for under a thousand dollars, all I would say is to get an external hard drive and definitely get a ram upgrade

Excellent computer would buy it again fast loading times love the keyboard good battery life a very fast gpu games play better than expected great frame rates

Got it for school and gaming. It does the job for a cheap price. It does not get too hot, the battery is decent.

I bought this for my wife as she wanted a laptop to do some gaming on and also writing. She has absolutely loved it, especially the giant screen.
