Product Information

Play over 100 high-quality games with friends on your PC, console, phone or tablet for one low monthly price.* With games added all the time, theres always something new to play. Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performancebut most route those frames through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we're bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 TUF laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 5-10%.

A generous power capacity afforded by the 90Wh battery, paired with the exceptionally power-efficient AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor provides plentiful power to keep you up and running surfing the web and streaming your favourite content for hours on end. Further enhanced by fast charging technology, this machine can replenish a staggering 50% of its battery capacity in as little as 30 minutes. ASUS has one of the largest rosters of gaming devices on the market right now. And although it is dominated by the ROG series, we can’t overlook the importance of the TUF Gaming notebooks. Last year, the TUF Gaming A17 (FA706) was really promising thanks to its great performance, wide hardware configuration options, and low base price tag. General Information for Asus Laptops ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RW-HX027W, AMD Ryzen 7, 3.2 GHz, 43.9 cm (17.3"), 1920 x 1080 pixels, 16 GB, 1 TB FA707RW-HX027WBRAND NEW DESIGN TUF Models support TRRS mic/headphone headsets and TRS headphones. If you have a standalone microphone that uses a TRS connector (with only two lines on the plug), you will need a TRS to TRRS adapter. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light.

In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. ASUS TUF Gaming A17 A707 is equipped with a Full HD 144Hz IPS panel, model number AUO B173HAN04.9. Its diagonal is 17.3″ (43.94 cm), and the resolution is 1920 х 1080 pixels. The screen ratio is 16:9, and we are looking at a pixel density of – 127 ppi, and a pitch of 0.2 х 0.2 mm. The screen turns into Retina when viewed at distance equal to or greater than 69cm (27″) (from this distance one’s eye stops differentiating the separate pixels, and it is normal for looking at a laptop). On the other hand, the TUF is the more affordable of the two, and has a big Ace up its sleeve – it has a Web camera. This feature is definitely not new for the TUF Gaming series, but it is a big factor in the decision-making process.

Here, we have to pay attention to two things – the TUF Gaming A17 FA707 performs significantly better than its predecessor and manages to fulfill its full TGP budget of 140W. This provides a huge strain to the cooling, which handles its job perfectly, even when compared to the Helios 300 (PH317-55), with its fans maxed out. Gaming comfort As we mentioned, the TUF Gaming A17 FA707 offers some visual differences from its predecessor. Its metal lid now sports a logo, which looks sculpted, instead of the previous print. Generally, though, the dimensions are kept the same. It still weighs 2.60 kilos, while its profile sits between 22.9mm and 25.4mm. The new chassis design is 4.5% smaller than the previous generation, without sacrificing the full-sized keyboard. Another super important aspect is the performance. We are glad to say that this device posts fantastic scores in both synthetic benchmarks and real-world gaming, and we are really grateful that this series has also received a TGP injection. Without a doubt, the cooling redesign has the biggest role in this, as it bears the weight of the increased heat, generated by the more powerful graphics cards. Moving to the keyboard, we see that the device has a different layout of the keyboard. It still comes with transparent WASD keys and a NumberPad section, but the Arrow buttons look different, and slightly bigger. Also, there is a set of volume control, mic mute, and Armoury Crate shortcuts, separated from the main part of the board. And instead of one large grill, only half of which was being used, the laptop now sports a cutout, that is exactly the same size as the opening. In addition, the keyboard is rather comfortable for typing, and not bad for gaming, either.NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience. Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. No matter your setup, the TUF Gaming A17 will keep you connected. A dedicated HDMI 2.0b port is supplemented by a USB Type-C with DisplayPort support. Fast and reliable WiFi 6 (802.11ax) ensures that youll be able to get online and be productive wherever compatible connections are available, or you can wire up directly with gigabit Ethernet on-board. When we turn the laptop upside down, we can spot probably the biggest design change. First, there are a lot of tiny feet that support the base. Additionally, the ventilation grill is significantly bigger than last year and has some pretty strategic openings. Probably even more impressive is that the laptop now has a total of four exhaust grills.
