    ASUS TUF Gaming F17 in-depth review

    The ASUS TUF lineup offers devices for people who don't want to spend a whole fortune on a new laptop but at the same time, they still want to get a well-performing machine. The TUF Gaming F17 (FX707, 2023) boasts a big 17.3" display and there are a lot of options here. For starters, we can spot two 1080p units with a 144Hz refresh rate that are labeled as "Value IPS-level".

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Opening the DeviceUndo the 12 Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel. Note that the captive screw in the lower right corner will slightly raise the plate up, making it the best starting point. Pop the front, the left, and the back with a thin plastic tool. The right side should be last as it is full of ports and harder to pry.More info: On the inside, the bottom plate features many plastic elements for greater internal structural support.Battery RemovalUnplug the battery connector from the mainboard.

    In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
