Asus is going for the jugular in the 15.6-inch mid-range gaming market. Its upcoming TUF A15 represents impressive performance-per-dollar against the hyped Dell G5 15 SE by offering both a faster GeForce GPU and even a lower price.

What are you talking about? The 5600M is basically on-par with the 1660 Ti.

The display of the  asus has 60% sRgb and that of dell gas 100% sRgb so it's a big win for Dell.
5600m gpu si on par with 1660ti or 2060mq but with further software updates should become much better

[Padmakara]

Also ryzen 4600h should do just fine, 4800h is too powerfull for mid gpus like 1660ti, 2060 or 5600m. And than you have a gaming laptop for 880$ with crisp display.

Please don't buy this asus tuf laptop. This is a "heater". Go and check out heating issues with this laptop.

Have some class Asus. Was caught and exposed with crippled by design TUF series in order to sell expensive ROG, SCAR lineups? Do better next time, amend your fault with a new consumer-friendly model. Not with another consumer deception.

Funny. Even though this laptop is a "heater", it still runs cooler and the exact same CPU has a better performance than the one Dell G5 SE.

I read from those chinese review, the heat issue seem happening to RTX 2060 (90w), and not this GTX 1660ti (80w), the original thermal paste need to repaste the kryonaut grease to maintain Full load CPU 85c and GPU 77c. Original CPU full load temp is 95c. Which i think is still manageable compare to the 9750H CPU. The heat from keyboard is consider low, won't feel any heat issue for long hours use. The main issue which exists from other laptop are the noise. Full load around 53db. Idle at 35db. And the speaker is not loud enough to cover the fan noise, while gaming. If attached the Type-c cable to DP 144hz monitor, it will perform better, which direct output from discrete GPU GTX 1660ti. screen & WIFI 6 card is future up gradable. So Thermal issue for Asus A15, i think the best buy and value performance can be 4600H+GTX1660ti or 4800H + GTX1660ti. RTx2060 model is running a bit hot, and some mod can open the 115w TDP. which made it even hotter.
