The ASUS TUF Dash 15 is a good fit if you prioritize a balance between cost, performance, and battery life, as it's less expensive and has longer battery life than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15. However, the TUF Gaming F15 offers better performance for tasks like 3D modeling, machine learning, and engineering due to a more powerful graphics card and processor, though it comes with a higher price and a compromise on battery life. Both have similar portability, screen size, and resolution, but the F15's keyboard offers customizable RGB lighting while the Dash 15 has only white backlighting. If gaming aesthetics are important to you, consider the F15's more gamer-oriented appearance. Give Feedback

"The Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR is a laptop with mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life. The Asus TUF Dash F15 was made for high-performance applications like video editing, rendering, and gaming. The laptop can manage the latter in QHD resolution and at high to maximum settings. However, the focus isn't on maximum performance, but instead, it's about a compromise between performance and portability."

"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
