ASUS A17 R7-6800H 16GB 1TB W11, FA707RW-HX027W, Mecha Grey

Product Information

ASUS TUF Gaming A17 A707’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a very good contrast ratio. However, it covers only half of the sRGB color space. On the bright side, the panel doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment and comes with a 144Hz refresh rate. This, of course, is a huge disadvantage to the 360Hz 1080p option in the ROG Strix.

Reviews

Jump right into the action with the TUF Gaming A17. Running Windows 11 out of the box with an AMD Ryzen™ 7 6800H CPU and up to 16GB of blisteringly fast 4800MHz DDR5 RAM, your streaming and multitasking are handled with ease. Leverage the full gaming performance of the GeForce RTX™ 3060 Laptop GPU. NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.

Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day.General Information for Asus Laptops ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RW-HX027W, AMD Ryzen 7, 3.2 GHz, 43.9 cm (17.3"), 1920 x 1080 pixels, 16 GB, 1 TB FA707RW-HX027WBRAND NEW DESIGN Speaking in numbers, we are talking about a jump from 95W to 140W, which will put a very big strain on the cooling, so we hope it has been updated as well. This won’t be the only change, though, because the body of the laptop is slightly different from last year’s unit. And the cream of the crop of changes is the inclusion of a MUX switch, which now lets the dedicated graphics pump those frames directly to the display, instead of having to rely on the integrated graphics to do so. Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performancebut most route those frames through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we're bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 TUF laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 5-10%. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light.

In the illustration below you can see how the display performs from a uniformity perspective. In other words, the leakage of light from the light source. TUF Models support TRRS mic/headphone headsets and TRS headphones. If you have a standalone microphone that uses a TRS connector (with only two lines on the plug), you will need a TRS to TRRS adapter. HIGH-POWER: AMD Ryzen™ 7 processor, GeForce RTX™ 30 Series Laptop GPU with up to 140W max TGP, and MUX SwitchAs we mentioned, the TUF Gaming A17 FA707 offers some visual differences from its predecessor. Its metal lid now sports a logo, which looks sculpted, instead of the previous print. Generally, though, the dimensions are kept the same. It still weighs 2.60 kilos, while its profile sits between 22.9mm and 25.4mm.

Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. Another super important aspect is the performance. We are glad to say that this device posts fantastic scores in both synthetic benchmarks and real-world gaming, and we are really grateful that this series has also received a TGP injection. Without a doubt, the cooling redesign has the biggest role in this, as it bears the weight of the increased heat, generated by the more powerful graphics cards.
