Asus TUF Gaming A15 (FA566) Review

The Asus TUF Gaming A15 is targeted at gamers with entry-level budgets, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything ordinary about it. This model is the first laptop we’re reviewing with a 4000-series AMD Ryzen Mobile processor, which definitely helps to set it apart in the market. AMD has promised that this generation can easily hold its own despite Intel’s virtual monopoly in the laptop market. We’ll be paying attention to this, but there’s also a lot more to take into account. Asus has launched this laptop with a lot of variants, and there are plenty of features that should appeal to gamers.

As the follow-up to the well priced and popular TUF Gaming FX505, the new TUF Gaming A15 claims to be slimmer and lighter, while offering up-to-date hardware, immense customisability, and of course some design elements just for gamers. As its name suggests, physical toughness is also a focus of this series. However as we’ve seen quite often, powerful laptops can appeal to audiences beyond gamers, including creative professionals and students. We’re going to see what Asus has managed to achieve here, and whether the hardware and features are competitive enough to make this a strong recommendation.

Asus TUF Gaming A15 (FA566) options and prices

Asus has created the new A15 name to simplify its alphanumeric naming scheme, and there are actually two models – the FA566 (Fortress Grey) and FA506 (Bonfire Black) – that will be sold as the TUF Gaming A15. There will be slightly different configuration options for each, and some configurations will primarily be available offline while others might be targeted at online buyers. Bonfire Black is a more traditional “gamer” aesthetic in textured plastic with sharp lines and red accents, while Fortress Grey is more subtle with a metal finish and can blend in more easily.

The 15.6-inch TUF Gaming A15, and its larger 17-inch A17 sibling, have been launched in a variety of configurations in India. There will also be Intel-based equivalents sold as the TUF Gaming F15 and F17.

The range starts at Rs. 60,990 for the 15-inch TUF Gaming A15 (FA506) in Bonfire Black, and that’s also the same starting price for the 17-inch TUF Gaming A17 (FA706). These entry-level options feature the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU, a 256GB SSD, and a 60Hz full-HD screen.

At the top end, you can get up to a Ryzen 9 4900H CPU, GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, a 144Hz full-HD screen, and a 1TB SSD plus a hard drive. The availability of different configurations will vary, and such a tricked-out configuration did not seem to be in stock anywhere online at the time of our review. The price would of course be considerably higher.
