Asus TUF A17 FA706IU Ryzen 7 Review

Asus TUF A17 FA706IU Ryzen 7 Review Asus has completely revamped its TUF series from top to bottom and the changes are significant. If you were considering the older FX705/FX505 series, skip it and consider the newer FA706/FA506 series instead. Unveiled at CES 2020, the 15.6-inch Asus TUF A15 FA506 and 17.3-inch TUF A17 FA706 series replace the older TUF FX505 and TUF FX705 series, respectively. These latest models are completely new in design and hardware when compared to the previous generation. The manufacturer is promising MIL-STD-810H chassis certification, FreeSync display options, more ports, and of course, the all-important AMD Ryzen Renoir processor.

Users can choose between the Ryzen 5 4600H or Ryzen 7 4800H with GTX 1650 ot GTX 1660 Ti graphics whereas Zephyrus laptops may have Ryzen 9 and GeForce RTX options.

The TUF A17 FA706IU SKU today retails for approximately $1100 USD to compete against other budget to mid-range gaming laptops like the HP Pavilion Gaming 17, Lenovo Legion Y540-17, MSI GP75, Acer Nitro series, or the Dell G7 series.
