Review about this product:
Looking Tough: A Big Screen Means a Big Laptop
As both a jumbo gaming laptop and a member of Asus' TUF product line, the Gaming F17 looks the part—a big, dark, seriously styled laptop that aims to convey a beefy, muscular energy. Some more expensive configurations may live up to that image, though our starter model masks some pretty modest parts (more on them in a minute).
The design also looks less impressive the closer you get. Even given the limited expectations of an economy laptop, the Asus' plastic chassis feels pretty cheap. The lid and deck offer two different spins on textured plastic, both aiming to imitate brushed metal, but neither good enough to fool the eye or to feel especially solid. If I paid for a more expensive configuration of this laptop, I'd be pretty underwhelmed by the build, though at our test model's price it's acceptable.
As you'd expect, the TUF Gaming F17 isn't remotely what we'd call a portable system. It measures 0.92 by 15.7 by 10.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.73 pounds. Some 17-inch laptops are heavier still, but it's still a drag to carry. Of course, Asus doesn't pretend this machine is a daily travel companion, but a mostly stationary desktop replacement that can be moved from room to room. To its credit, the AC adapter is reasonably sized, better than the gigantic thick bricks we see with some machines.
The upside of a bulky chassis is a roomy 17.3-inch IPS display. The big screen delivers a more desktop-like experience, and with full HD (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, it's well suited to gaming at mainstream frame rates.
Productivity Tests
The main benchmark of UL's PCMark 10 simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content-creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and videoconferencing. We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's storage.
Three further benchmarks focus on the CPU, using all available cores and threads, to rate a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. Maxon's Cinebench R23 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene, while Primate Labs' Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning. Finally, we use the open-source video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 to convert a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better).
