The Dash F15 is a very good device with a premium 144Hz IPS display and great build quality for the price, but there is one bad and one good+bad point to note. built-in display, Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort and PD is connected to the integrated graphics of the CPU, not the discrete GPU. Only HDMI is connected to the GPU. This could be a problem. While Thunderbolt 4 can handle Ultra-Wide WQHD 3440 x 1440 @ 165Hz/144Hz on a Windows desktop, it causes many problems in games like flickering and black screen. I've tried several USB-C to 8k Displayport cables, converters, and hubs from different manufacturers like Cable Matters and others. Except for all the hassle of setting up and tweaking the bios on different versions of the bios, everything is for naught. Everything works great when connected to HDMI connected to the GPU, but HDMI 2.0b is of course limited to 100Hz at 3440x1440. I can understand the FHD integrated display connection to the processor for Optimus, but why is the Thunderbolt 4 port connected to the processor? It makes no sense! Half the point of a Thunderbolt 4 port is to connect monitors with high refresh rates and high resolutions that HDMI 2.0b can't handle. ASUS effectively cripples the Dash F15's Thunderbolt 4 port for connecting monitors by plugging it into the CPU. Keep that in mind if you're using the Dash F15 as a desktop replacement that occasionally uses high-end, high-resolution gaming monitors. If that's important to you, spend a little more to get the ROG Strix instead. Good + Bad As you would expect from an ultra-slim gaming laptop, this machine can get quite hot (which is probably why you don't see too many gaming laptops with ultra-slim form factors). The Dash F15 handles the heat a little better than others I've seen. It doesn't get insanely hot like the MSI Stealth series, for example. When you exit the game to the desktop, it only takes a few seconds until the computer has completely cooled down. The keyboard can still get warm under heavy loads, and this issue can be resolved by setting the fans to full power. Explosion. However, the fans of the "Anti-Dust Self-Cleaning System" of this ASUS device are very loud when running at full speed. There doesn't seem to be any intermediate noise adjustment. It's either quiet or very loud. What'
