ASUS TUF A15 15.6" 2020 Overview
144 Hz Refresh Rate
A fast 144 Hz refresh rate helps to reduce blurring and improve responsiveness so users have a more fluid gaming experience.
Keyboard
The backlit keyboard supports ASUS AURA RGB lighting for a variety of color options and lighting effects. The keys are also rated for up to 20 million presses and feature Overstroke technology, which helps to improve keystroke responsiveness.
Audio
Speakers and DTS:X Ultra technology deliver a loud, immersive listening experience fit for music, movies, and games.
Cooling
Multiple heat pipes, heat sinks, and fans all work together to dissipate heat from the system. The fans also have a self-cleaning mode to prevent dust buildup.
MIL-STD-910H Rated
This AUS TUF Gaming Laptop is MIL-STD-910H rated to ensure it can survive the wear and tear of everyday use, some short falls, and varying environments.
Windows 10 Home
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
