The ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC boasts a stunning design with impressive striped patterns

Regarding the overall design, one can observe the refined aluminum back of the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC, exuding a sophisticated yet sturdy appearance with meticulously crafted edges. What particularly impresses me about this machine compared to its predecessor is the striped patterns along with the TUF brand logo laser-engraved with precision, imparting a distinctly different gaming vibe to the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC.

In the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC, the front cooling vent is redesigned to be in a slotted form rather than the honeycomb design used in the previous version. Personally, I favor this type of cooling design as it facilitates better airflow circulation, aiding in efficient heat dissipation from the machine. Furthermore, the entire body of the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC is crafted from plastic material, resulting in a weight of 2.6 kg and a thickness of 25.4 mm. While it may be relatively heavy, compared to the general standard, I find the size quite manageable as I can still fit the laptop into my backpack and carry it around for work or gaming sessions with friends.

Regarding the interior, ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC offers users a fairly large touchpad and a full-size keyboard with keys that have a satisfying depth, providing a smooth typing experience, enjoyable for both gaming and document editing. What further impresses me about this keyboard system is the cluster of four 'sacred' WASD keys made of translucent plastic, combined with RGB backlighting to easily see the keys during combat and to create visually appealing effects when using the laptop in dimly lit conditions.

ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC is also meticulously equipped by the manufacturer with all the necessary connection ports for gamers, specifically including the following ports: Two USB-A 3.2 ports, HDMI port, 2-in-1 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port supporting Thunderbolt 4 protocol, a USB Type-C port supporting G-Sync and Display Port, and finally, an RJ45 LAN port. These ports allow for easy connection and data transmission with the Internet and peripheral devices, ensuring the best gaming and work experience.

Speaking of display capabilities, ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC is equipped with a glare-resistant 17.3-inch screen featuring Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), operating on an IPS panel and supporting a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Additionally, the TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC also features AMD's exclusive FreeSync technology to minimize stuttering, lag, or screen tearing, coupled with MUX Switch technology to switch the output stream of the graphics card, thereby enhancing gaming performance and providing you with a smoother experience.

ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC packs a powerful configuration with Ryzen 7 6800H and RTX 3050 graphics card

Before delving into the performance review of ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC, let's take a look at some of the machine's configuration specifications:

• Display: 17.3-inch size, Full HD resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate.
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, base clock 3.2 GHz.
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4GB.
• RAM: 8 GB DDR5 2 slots (1 slot 8 GB + 1 separate slot), bus speed 4,800 MHz, support maximum upgrade of 32 GB.
• Storage Capacity: 512 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe (2 slots, maximum upgrade to 1 TB).
• Operating System: Windows 11 SL.
• Battery: 4-cell, 56 Wh.
• Weight: 2.6 kg.

As we can see from the above specifications, ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC boasts a powerhouse configuration with the Ryzen 7 6800H processor. This is one of the top-performing chips currently offered by AMD, with 8 processing cores manufactured on the 6nm process, delivering strong processing power to handle users' demanding creative media tasks or heavy gaming.

In addition to the powerful processor, ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC is also equipped with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card. While not considered a top-tier graphics card, after experiencing the RTX 3050 on other gaming laptop models like Dell Gaming G15 or MSI Gaming GF63, I believe this graphics card still offers sufficient power to provide a smooth gaming experience at medium graphics settings or handle some moderate graphics tasks.

ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC is also equipped with 8 GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at up to 4,800 MHz, allowing the machine to handle multitasking well. You can open multiple Chrome tabs, design graphics, play games, and livestream smoothly, without being hindered by stuttering or lag. Additionally, the machine is equipped with a 512 GB hard drive, significantly enhancing your gaming experience by providing ample storage space, faster data extraction and transmission, and shorter application opening times, allowing you to quickly jump into intense gaming sessions without any delays!

Battery life is also impressive with the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC. Specifically, the machine is equipped with a 4-cell battery with a capacity of 56 Wh, which is relatively good for a gaming laptop. However, I recommend you plug in the charger when using it to unleash its full performance and have a more complete experience. Additionally, accompanying the machine is a fast charger with a power of 200 W, allowing the device to be quickly charged for a seamless, smooth experience.

So, how much does the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC cost? Is it worth buying?

Overall, with a gaming laptop boasting an attractive design, smooth gaming performance, and sharp display like the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC, I believe the machine will be an interesting choice for gamers or content creators. Currently, the ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC is available for purchase at the Mytour system for 29.99 million Vietnamese dong (prices may vary depending on promotional programs).
