[Specs and Info] ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX507, 2023) – Supercharged for 2023
Last year, if you’d asked us to pick a gaming laptop for you out of all the budget and mid-range devices that are out on the market, we’d either tell you to get a Nitro 5 or a TUF laptop, in both AMD and Intel flavors. Today we’ve got the 2023 model, which offers both last year’s Alder Lake processors, as well as the new Raptor Lake versions, giving you a ton of wiggle room when it comes to pricing and how you’d want to configure your machine. More importantly, you have the RTX 40-series, so you’re getting the latest GPU performance, as so far the new graphics have performed well in our tests.
Today we’re giving you a quick overview of the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX507, 2023).
ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX507, 2023): Full Specs
Design
Since the TUF laptops were already well-built, there’s no reason to change the design and construction for the 2023 model year. The laptop is durable, with a metal lid and a plastic chassis that don’t give easily into our attempts at flexing them. Another positive is the relatively low weight, as even with a tougher shell and powerful hardware on the inside, the laptop isn’t that heavy at all, weighing only 2.20 kg and having a profile of 24.9 mm. Compared to the more RGB-infused ROG laptops, the TUF series is more settled down, having a more militaristic and industrial look.
The port selection includes two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, one USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, a single Thunderbolt 4 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, a LAN port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Display
There is a change in the display selection, as now even the base model Full HD 144Hz IPS panel comes with 100% sRGB coverage, as well as G-Sync, a MUX switch, and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus. There’s also a QHD panel, with higher 100% DCI-P3 color coverage and a 165Hz refresh rate.
Specifications and features
Starting off with the CPUs first, you get the Core i7-12700H from last year, as well as the new Core i7-13700H and the Core i9-13900H. All three come with 14 cores and 20 threads, so the performance is similar. With that said, the architectural changes of Raptor Lake do contribute to a boost in performance. So even if you decide to stick with Alder Lake, you’ll be good to go for a while. In terms of graphics, you’ve got the 140W versions of the RTX 4050, RTX 4060, and RTX 4070. So far, we haven’t seen the GPUs hit their power targets, but nonetheless, they’ve been running at pretty high clock speeds. We will need some time to see how the 40-series performs and how it behaves in certain scenarios, as we test more and more laptops with it.
