2 port that can double as a DisplayPort 1.4 adapter, a full-sized HDMI port, Ethernet port, 3.5mm jack as well as the power plug. There are a total of three USB Type 3.0 connectors (two on the left and another one on the right), a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen. Plenty of space on the chassis for ports and the keyboard is nice and roomy tooīecause of the TUF A17’s overall size, there’s plenty of space on chassis for USB ports, be it Type-C or otherwise. This means the TUF A17 is as tough as its namesake suggests. Overall construction is good, though take note that there are still parts of the chassis that are still made of plastic, so there’s still some amount of flex in the body, specifically in the middle of the keyboard area.ĪSUS says that the TUF A17 (and their entire TUF gaming series line) meet or exceed MIL-STD-810H standards, which means the design is subjected to a myriad of punishing tests before it’s approved for final production.
The new notebook is also slimmer and thinner than the previous iteration, though it’s still pretty hefty at 2.7 kilos.
The lid on the A17 is metal like we said, with metal hex screws placed on the corners of the lid to accentuate the new material. The previous-generation model used quite a lot of plastic in its construction, which meant that it flexed harder and more often than a bodybuilder competing for the Mr. The biggest change for the ASUS TUF A17 from the previous generation is the liberal use of metal on the chassis, especially for the lid.
The newly refreshed 17-inch TUF A17 model gets a spiffy new exterior, AMD’s new Ryzen mobile processors, as well as a MIL-STD-810H certified chassis.
ASUS’ TUF series of notebooks have traditionally been aimed at users who still want a solid gaming notebook with the ASUS name but don’t want to shell out big bucks for the company’s more expensive ROG lineup.
