For a balance of performance and portability with a focus on gaming and engineering tasks, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is a solid choice, offering a powerful Intel i7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU that excel in those areas. Its 144Hz refresh rate and 16:9 aspect ratio are ideal for gaming, though the battery life is relatively short. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16, with its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor, is designed for versatility and productivity, featuring a high-resolution OLED touchscreen with superior color accuracy and a 120Hz refresh rate, making it excellent for general use and content consumption. It's also lighter and thinner, enhancing its portability. However, its Adreno 750 GPU may not match the gaming and engineering performance of the ASUS. If you prioritize gaming and engineering capabilities and don't mind a bulkier design, go for the ASUS. If you value a versatile, portable device with a stunning display for general use, the Samsung is the way to go. 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."
