Why on earth did ASUS go and block the intake and exhaust vents on the TUF A15?

Ryzen 4000 CPUs are so much more competitive than Intel, but to ruin it like this along with the cheap ass screen?

Which manager approved this kind of design? Already save cost on heatsink, only 3 heatpipes, but go block the vents, really smart

You haven't seen Zephyrus G15

why RIP ? now the laptop cant use at all or what ? haha.

other brand no use cheap ass 120 hz panel meh ?

Can use still, but higher temperature and thermal throttle like crazy.

Who the f*ck so stupid go block their own intake and exhaust vent? It's like going to your car and stuffing plastic bag around your engine intake and exhaust.

You got watch the review or not? Other brand like Lenovo and MSI using more expensive screen even in budget laptop offering

What's wrong with Zephyrus G15? I thought ROG line should be better... You did a review?

Words from an Asus reseller...can ignore
They blocked the intake vents completely

MSI Malaysia here also offer 120 hz panel for GF series oh , where got GL series in Malaysia with 144 hz panel oh ? , Lenovo also 120 hz 45 % color gamut for their new Legion 5 model leh, got one tongfang rebrand also

btw , what is thermal throttle ?

at least the laptop I touch and disassemble more then you 1000 times , not same you , need dig info from internet without really touch the real items, some more begging laptop company loan u unit to review

Thermal throttle means the CPU/GPU are getting too hot they will reduce their own performance, because they reach their temperature limits. Why? Because Asus blocked their own intake/exhaust vents.

Why you asking me this when you sell laptops for a living? haha

In the Youtube review, he specifically mention the Lenovo y540, Acer Helios 300 as budget laptops and having better screens. I'm not sure u can find these models in Malaysia or not.

Man that's rude, don't talk like that here.

We are here simply to discuss laptops performance and design.

Regardless, I'd still say it performs like a champ. Waiting for JarrodsTech review on the 1660ti model. If it can beat the Helios 300 1660Ti from last year, even after those thermal issues mentioned then it should be a decent buy at 4500rm in my opinion.

But yeah the screen having 20ms response time is very unfortunate. Color gamut is pretty much "average" I'd say when it comes to value gaming laptops.


FYI: The Dell G5 SE gets even hotter with lower performance
