    With the rise of inflation, budget gaming notebooks are no longer very affordable. However, manufacturers have done their fair share of the price increase, by making these products with higher-quality materials.

    In addition to that, NVIDIA and Intel introduced an incredibly powerful lineup of GPUs and CPUs recently, but again – they are no longer the bargain they used to be. On the bright side, even the RTX 4050 (which now finally comes with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM) is capable of crushing every game at 1080p and max settings.

    The laptop we’re going to talk about today is the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX507, 2023). Visually, it is not very different from its predecessor – the FX507. This is why its name is basically the same.

    However, there are some features that are simply amazing. Even the base display option now has full sRGB coverage (1080p, 144Hz IPS unit), while the top tier screen has a 1440p resolution, works at 165Hz, supports G-Sync, and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut (allegedly).

    Not to mention stuff like the MUX Switch. Nevertheless, we’re going to cover these details later in the review, but until we reach that point, let’s acquaint ourselves with this notebook’s design.
