Asus TUF Gaming F17

The big 17.3-inch screen on the Asus TUF Gaming F17 FX706HE is appealing, with its 144 Hz refresh rate and IPS panel. But, powered by an RTX 3050 Ti, the laptop struggled to provide acceptable performance in some games, making it more suitable for casual titles with lighter demands.
