If you’re after a budget-minded 1080p rig, this is where you should be looking.

Beloved by bargain buyers everywhere, theAsusTUF A15 comes from excellent stock.

I did, however, notice some flex to the main typing deck.

Inside we have a few TUF icons stamped across the main chassis, but nothing too egregious.

That’s most apparent in the display.

Underneath that display you’ve got a full-sized keyboard which also throws in a number pad for good measure.

Switches themselves carry 1.7mm of travel distance, with a softer bottom out than I’d typically prefer.

I would, however, ward against relying too heavily on the trackpad.

You’ll need to be strategic and efficient with your stored games here.

Ports are plentiful but things can get pretty cozy.

The majority of your connections sit in the bottom corner of the left flank.

It’s doable with some workarounds, but something to be mindful of.
