When we mention the TUF brand of ASUS in the gaming laptop arena, we immediately think of a product line that offers solid performance and reasonable pricing, but typically falls short in aesthetics due to design compromises compared to the ROG line. However, with the recently launched ASUS TUF Dash F15 2022, everything has completely changed!
The ASUS TUF Dash F15 2022 makes a strong impression right from the first glance, especially the white version, which is simply stunning. It still features a simple design style, but now this budget-friendly gaming laptop has its own unique and impressive character.
While the simple black version has a matte black finish that gives a strong character to the user, the white version is truly elegant, soft, and much more eye-catching. The effective combination of the milk-white top and black accents creates a highlight for the product, elevating this gaming laptop significantly.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the build quality of the ASUS TUF Dash F15 2022 is also excellent, featuring a metal back and a matte plastic body that gives the machine a solid feel, creating a sense of durability while remaining lightweight.
Moreover, the internal components including the hinges and chassis are reinforced securely. The smooth opening and closing, and especially the non-flexing surface of the keyboard, make typing enjoyable without any annoying flex. This is complemented by a full-size keyboard with good key travel, responsive feedback, and bright backlighting. The large, smooth touchpad, which is rarely seen on gaming laptops, also enhances multitasking, making work or study on this product much easier and more enjoyable compared to the previous generation.
The layout of the connectivity ports on the ASUS TUF Dash F15 2022 is very convenient and does not obstruct the mouse grip (which is extremely important for gamers) since most of them are positioned on the left side. We can find all the necessary ports including 2 USB-A 3.2 ports, an HDMI port, a 3.5mm audio jack, 2 USB Type-C ports (one supporting Thunderbolt 4), and an RJ45 LAN port.
The user experience of the ASUS TUF Dash F15 2022 is simply perfect in the mid-range segment. First, due to its powerful configuration with the latest 12th generation Intel CPU and NVIDIA’s new RTX series GPU, the overall gaming and graphics performance is fantastic. Users can easily enhance the machine’s power a bit more by upgrading the RAM in the empty slot.
Specifically, the machine’s configuration is as follows:
● CPU: Intel Core i5-12450H (Alder Lake) 3.30 GHz.

Of course, we cannot overlook the impressive screen of the laptop, featuring a 15.6-inch anti-glare edge-to-edge display with Full HD resolution using an IPS panel that delivers realistic colors. Additionally, the high refresh rate of 144Hz makes for extremely smooth visuals. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, this display has a color coverage of 62.5% with sRGB and 47.24% with Adobe RGB, so it may feel a bit lacking for design or photo editing tasks, but for gaming or handling high-performance tasks, it is fantastic.
