ASUS TUF Gaming A15 Gaming Laptop Ryzen 7 7445HS RTX 3050 16GB 512GB

ASUS TUF Gaming A15 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop

The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506NCG-HN199W combines an AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics, 16GB DDR5 memory and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Its 15.6-inch Full HD 144Hz display is built for gaming, while the two RAM slots and two M.2 slots leave room for future upgrades.

Ryzen 7 7445HS Processor

The AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a 3.2GHz base clock and boost speeds up to 4.7GHz. It gives the TUF A15 enough CPU performance for gaming, everyday work, school and applications that make good use of multiple cores.

RTX 3050 4GB Graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU has 4GB of GDDR6 dedicated graphics memory. ASUS lists the GPU at up to 1675MHz and 60W, with Dynamic Boost taking it up to 75W.

The RTX 3050 provides dedicated graphics performance for PC gaming and GPU-accelerated applications, with support for NVIDIA features such as ray tracing and DLSS in compatible games.

16GB DDR5 Memory

The laptop comes with 16GB of DDR5 SO-DIMM memory. ASUS provides two DDR5 memory slots, with support for up to 64GB total system memory.

ASUS notes that although the memory specification is DDR5-5600, the Ryzen 7 7445HS platform limits the operating memory speed to DDR5-4800.

512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD provides fast storage for Windows, games, applications and personal files. There are two M.2 PCIe slots for storage expansion.

On Ryzen 7 7445HS models, ASUS notes that the second SSD slot has restricted bandwidth. ASUS also specifies that only single-sided SSDs are supported because of components around the M.2 slot.

15.6-inch FHD 144Hz Display

The 15.6-inch display has a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and 144Hz refresh rate. It uses an IPS-level panel with an anti-glare surface and supports Adaptive-Sync and NVIDIA Optimus.

ASUS lists 62.5% sRGB, 45% NTSC and 47.34% Adobe RGB coverage for this display.

Backlit RGB Keyboard

The TUF Gaming A15 has a backlit chiclet keyboard with one-zone RGB lighting. The touchpad is built into the palm rest for everyday navigation and gaming.

The TUF A15 has three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort support, HDMI 2.1 TMDS, an RJ45 LAN port and a 3.5mm headphone and microphone combo jack.

Camera and Audio

A 720p HD camera is built into the display. The laptop has a two-speaker system, built-in array microphones, DTS audio processing and AI noise-canceling technology.

Who Is the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 For?

This laptop is suited to gamers looking for an affordable TUF Gaming system with an RTX 3050 and 144Hz Full HD screen. The Ryzen 7 7445HS and 16GB DDR5 memory also make it suitable for everyday work, university, programming and other applications that need more performance than a basic laptop.

Upgrade Options

The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and supports up to 64GB of system memory. The supplied 16GB can therefore be upgraded later.

There are also two M.2 PCIe storage slots. The second slot can be used for additional storage, although ASUS notes that its bandwidth is restricted on Ryzen 7 7445HS models.
