    Laptop Review: ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IU-H7022T

    ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IU-H7022T

    ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IU-H7022T

    The Asus TUF Gaming A17 FA706IU-H7022T is powered by the 8 core AMD Ryzen 7 4800H processor and a GTX 1660Ti with 6GB of VRAM. The display here is the 120Hz FHD (1920x1080p) panel. Other specs include 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. This is an excellent laptop if you are a professional creator and engineer or a gamer the issue being its poor display.

    PROS:
    • Great Options For Upgradability (2x SO-DIMM Slots | 2x M.2 Slot)
    • Fast 120Hz Display
    • Powerful 8 Core CPU
    • Decent Port Selection
    • Large 90 Watt Hour Batter
    CONS:
    • Poor Colour Coverage
    • No SD Card Reader
    • Small Arrow Keys
    • No Finger-Print Scanner
    • Heavy

    Design and Ports

    The chassis of the Asus TUF Gaming A17 FA706IU-H7022T is entirely made out of plastic and has a back textured finish with an angular design and it looks quite good. It has a tuff design except for the lid which wobbles a little this may be due to the thin 7mm thin bezels around the display. The bottom panel can be removed once you remove the 11 Philips head screws. Here you can find the following.

    • 2x SO-DIMM Slots
    • 2x M.2 Slots
    • 2.5 Inch SATA bay
    • WLAN module
    • 90 Watt Hour battery

    Ports: 

    • USB 2.0 Type-A
    • Gigabit RJ-45
    • HDMI 2.0b
    • 2x USB 3.0 Type-A
    • USB Type-C 3.2 Gen. 2
    • SD Card Reader
    • 3.5 mm Combo Audio Jack

    Keyboard and Trackpad

    The Asus TUF Gaming A17 FA706IU-H7022T has a chicklet style backlit keyboard. The WASD keys are transparent and get a little extra RGB backlight. Considering its size Asus could have gone for bigger arrow keys. The trackpad here is also a rather small one (10.9 x 5.9 cm) but it has a smooth matte surface though it lacks a little precision.

    Overall Performance

    The ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706IU-H7022T is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H which is slightly more powerful than the i7 10750H and is comparable to i9 9980HK in terms of performance. The 4800H with its 7nm manufacturing process and Zen 2 architecture gives its Intel counterparts a really hard time. The GPU here is an upper midrange GTX 1660Ti with  GB of dedicated graphics memory though it is true that you may not be as powerful as its 20 series RTX counterparts however I don’t think so there is any game that would be unplayable. The 8GB of RAM may cause bottlenecks so recommend upgrading it. The storage on the other hand 512GB SSD storage should be enough for 90 percent of the users and you can also add storage very easily on this laptop.
