The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is often significantly less expensive than the Razer Blade 15 and has a robust gaming laptop appearance. It comes with a high-capacity battery and hardware designed for intensive gaming. Despite its midrange price, it provides solid performance for general use, 3D and machine learning tasks, and engineering projects. However, it's heavier, which affects portability, and the display has lower resolution and color space coverage compared to the Razer. The Razer Blade 15 costs more but offers a higher resolution screen with better color coverage, scoring higher for general use, engineering, and screen performance. It's lighter and thinner, enhancing portability, but has a slightly smaller battery and older graphics card, which may affect gaming and task-heavy applications' performance. Both have similar storage and memory, but if screen quality, build, and portability are priorities, the Razer is more suitable, whereas the ASUS excels in gaming and price. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 15 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, a laptop screen with high resolution and brightness provides clear and vivid visuals, making the Razer Blade 15 ideal with its superior panel. In the realm of engineering and design, accurate color reproduction is crucial, here the Razer Blade 15 excels with its wide color gamuts ensuring precise visuals. However, for gaming and 3D applications where quick motion is common, a higher refresh rate is essential for smooth gameplay, which both the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 and Razer Blade 15 lack, leading to subpar experiences in this context.

"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."

"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
