Hey, so I was looking for a gaming laptop with a core i5 10th gen processor and a 1650ti graphics card and according to me, the Asus TUF F15 fits the bill. However i wanted a bit of experience from anyone who knows about this laptop/ has used it/ knows any better competitors. Some advice would be very much appreciated.

You could look into the Lenovo Legion 5/5i, one of them is the Intel variant. Without knowing your budget, it's a good laptop, and has different GPU selections. I don't exactly remember if it had 1650 ti, but definitely has a good range of GPU's to choose from. You could check it out.

Thanks for the suggestion but I have looked into it and have found out that it is more expensive, has 120Hz instead of 144Hz and has lesser storage capacity I think

Including taxes cuz its over the roof here in India. you can play around with 2000 INR here and there if you like though

Ok, just some questions:

1. Do you want a 15.6" laptop or a 17.3"?

2. Are you going to bring it everywhere.

3. I have a MSI laptop 17.3 inch has the 10300H, GTX 1650, 8GB Ram, 512 GB SSD. Problem is that it has a 3 hour battery life.

Oh well, too bad it's over budget. BTW, it has a 144 Hz screen option, has better display than TUF, and storage probably can be chosen too, and also probably better build quality. It all depends if that option is available for your region. Anyway, none of it matters if it's over budget. 😞

it does have 144Hz? couldn't find it on amazon but drop it. Also I would really love to know where is the TUF compromising in terms of build quality

Yeah m8 you're not gonna find a laptop with more than 1 TB of storage unless ur paying over 1k. Unless you just buy a 1 TB ssd for like 100 bucks including ur laptop, then your chilling.

It does. It's not available in Kolkata for example, one of my friends couldn't get it. You could get to see it on their site, or not if you're unlucky. Idk where the TUF is compromising on build quality, I just know that the Legion has very good build quality, so that's a possibility. Please check multiple reviews, they're the experts.

update: the TUF was out of stock and I ended up buying an acer nitro 5 since that was the only thing left with similar spec. It's pretty good build quality wise. Chassis, built out of plastic, has low deck flex and overall it's an 8/10. Battery life is an issue but it's bearable i.e not too less.
