Need an inexpensive, large-format designer gamer laptop? L'Asus TUF Gaming A17 TUF706IC-HX018W may be of interest to you, with its NVIDIA Ampere GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing graphics card capable of running a wide range of games and accelerating multimedia processing, just like the high-performance Ryzen 5 Hexa Core Renoir processor. Featuring a 17-inch IPS Full HD anti-glare display with a 144Hz frequency for enhanced gaming fluidity, this versatile Windows 11 notebook designed for gaming and creativity boasts enhanced responsiveness thanks to its fast 512GB SSD storage, backlit keyboard and USB-C connectivity.
The Asus TUF Gaming A17 TUF706IC-HX018W is currently available in promotion at Asus France and offers a configuration/price ratio attractive for its category where it is one of the few to offer such a powerful graphics card with Windows included.
Ruggedly built to US MIL-STD-810G military standards, this versatile gaming- and design-oriented notebook boasts an original gamer look, with a black design featuring angular lines and a brushed metal finish.
This designer gamer laptop is equipped with excellent connectivity, including 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, Ethernet and audio ports, a practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor, for example, and 3 USBs that are compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, with USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are plugged in.
The keys on the chiclet keyboard can also be backlit, which is practical for better key recognition in dimly lit environments.
Gamers will be delighted that the screen adopts a 144Hz frequency higher than the 60Hz standard, as this clearly enhances fluidity in games. With its anti-reflective coating, the screen is also more legible than a glossy slab in bright environments (e.g. outdoors), while being less tiring on the eyes with prolonged use. What's more, the screen lends itself well to the display of videos and, more generally, High Definition content, as it boasts a 16:9 format coupled with Full HD definition. Thanks to its IPS technology, both horizontal and vertical viewing angles are generous.
The Asus TUF Gaming A17 TUF706IC-HX018W is a high-performance, versatile large-format notebook with a creative and gaming focus.
With this creative gamer laptop, you can play a wide range of games, thanks to the NVIDIA Ampere GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing dedicated graphics card.
What's more, the GeForce RTX 3050 accelerates processing in software programs that exploit GPU computing power, such as Adobe Photoshop/Premiere or Sony Vegas.
The GeForce RTX 3050, which will be of interest to gamers and creators alike, is automatically activated/deactivated in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology, depending on the task in hand.
Optimus gives maximum priority to the processor-integrated Radeon Vega 6 solution, even though its performance is very modest in comparison, since it is energy-efficient and therefore favors autonomy. Optimus therefore activates the GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing to perform graphics processing that is too heavy for the Radeon Vega 6.
With either one, you can of course view photos and videos.
The Radeon Vega 6 is housed directly in theAMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 4600H processor. RenoirThe Hexa Core processor is an older-generation processor, but it's still a Hexa Core, which is appreciated when using processor-intensive software that takes advantage of multi-core processing, such as photo retouching or video editing.
Here, the Ryzen 5 is combined with 8 GB of RAM to deliver good overall performance to support the GeForce RTX 3050 in games and satisfy a wide range of users.
Storage is up to the task, entrusted to a silent SSD that consumes less energy than a hard disk, is more robust and much faster.
As a result, SSDs are much smoother and more responsive than HDDs.
Thanks to the SSD, processing is much faster, as are software start/stop and launch times, and you can get to online game maps much more quickly.
A 512 GB SSD is inserted here, a capacity similar to that offered by standard hard disks.
However, if you need more space, you can add a second SSD via the free 2.5" slot. And rely on an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0/USB-C device for fast transfers.
As for autonomy, expect around 5 hours of battery operation in light use for this computer, which can be expected to heat up and make itself heard when pushed hard (e.g. games, processing). Its large size makes it difficult to carry around, but comfortable for mostly sedentary use (e.g. at home).
To keep temperatures down, the computer can be fitted with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions!).
