Featuring a 3.2 GHz Ryzen 7 5800H eight-core processor with 16GB of memory and a 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive, the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 laptop is designed to quickly load and multitask a variety of demanding applications so that you can spend less time waiting and more time gaming and creating content.

The 15.6″ display features a narrow bezel design, an In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel, and support for 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution at 144 Hz to deliver liquid-smooth graphics with minimal motion blur during high-action scenes.

The dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card is designed to deliver high-frame rates and advanced features such as real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and more to enhance your entertainment and content creation experiences.

With built-in Adaptive-Sync Technology, the laptop’s display dynamically adjusts its refresh rate to the frame rate being output by the graphics processor, greatly reducing screen tearing, stuttering, and other artifacts.

Connect to compatible networks with the built in 802.11ax Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet port to smoothly play online games, watch 4K streaming video, and host live stream broadcasts.

Connect an external monitor to the HDMI 2.0b port for a larger viewing space and enhanced multitasking. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port supports 10 Gb/s transfer speeds with supported devices while three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports are available for transferring up to 5 Gb/s from compatible devices such as flash drives, keyboards, and mice.

The TUF Gaming A15 includes two 2W stereo speakers that are enhanced with DTS software technology to fully immerse you in movies, games, and music. Additionally, the noise-cancelling microphone array helps you to be heard clearly during in-game chats and video calls. You can also connect wireless Bluetooth devices such as headphones and speakers.

Microsoft’s digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.

After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.

For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it’s not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
