ASUS TUF Gaming A17 (FA707, 2023) review – nearly 5.00 GHz on all cores during full load


The TUF Gaming series is quite interesting. It offers both Intel and AMD options, which are easily distinguished by their name. In our case, it is the TUF Gaming A17 (FA707, 2023).

Finally, we are going to get a real taste of the proper Ryzen 7000 experience in the variant of a Ryzen 9 7940HS. It is based on the Zen 4 architecture, which is built on a 4nm node.

It will be interesting how will the efficiency stack against the Intel counterpart. Ultimately, the gaming performance is something much more needed in the case of the TUF Gaming A17 (A707, 2023).

In addition to that, the top-tier model features the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 with a TGP of 140W. This is paired with a MUX Switch (for all GPU models), and a choice of four fast display options. You will soon see which screen we got with our unit, and what are its quirks and features.
