Review on ASUS TUF Dash 15 (2021) Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 144Hz FHD, RTX 3050 Ti, i7-11370H, 8GB DDR4, 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 10, Eclipse Grey, TUF516PE-AB73 by Elvis Kimbro

Bought this laptop as a budget gaming PC. It arrived on time and in good condition, started as it should. Initially I had some issues with the game as the drivers weren't updated, but once that was complete they were able to load without crashing. That being said, this PC struggles to sit above a very low entry level as a gaming PC. He struggles to run Minecraft, Squad, Halo Reach and Skyrim. None of these games should be particularly difficult to run, but I've experienced intermittent low FPS (sometimes 20-30 on low settings) and very frequent crashes. This computer has a problem with any form of multitasking. That being said, I believe all of these issues can be related to low RAM. In a couple of weeks I will be upgrading the RAM to 16GB and if you are considering buying this laptop I encourage you to do the same. If you're trying to decide between buying a gaming laptop or a desktop PC, I recommend the desktop. The only reason I bought this was for work and portability. But even as a work laptop, the main memory definitely needs to be upgraded.
