The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is suitable if you lean towards gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, offering a larger screen, higher performance GPU, and extended battery life. However, it's heavier and not as portable. Conversely, the Framework Laptop is lighter, provides high portability, and exceptional screen quality, but has less storage and power, which might limit its use in intensive tasks. Choose the ASUS for performance-heavy activities and the Framework if you prioritize mobility and screen sharpness over raw computing power. Both are similarly priced, so your decision should align with your specific needs. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"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."

"If you’re thinking of investing in your first Framework, now is the time. The kinks and rough edges have all been smoothed out and this is a very nice machine with a bright, upgradable future. The only reason I can think of to wait is the AMD model, which I’ll be sure to test as soon as I can get my hands on one."
