That’s not all, with display options up to 144Hz refresh rate and portability features!

The AMD A15 and A17 will have up to the latest AMD Ryzen 4000 Series Mobile Processors with 8 cores and 16 threads. The F15 and F17 will be later this year bearing 10th Generation Intel Core processors. Enjoy graphics firepower from the discrete NVIDIA GeForce GPUs based on the latest NVIDIA Turing architecture, up to a GeForce RTX 2060. It uses a combination of CUDA, RT and Tensor codes for hybrid rendering with real-time ray tracing and AI acceleration. Turing also has an updated video encoder capable of capturing high-quality footage with minimal CPU usage, so users can easily game and stream smoothly from the same machine.

Enjoy display refresh rates up to 144Hz on 15-inch models, and 120 Hz on 17-inch models. AMD Radeon graphics integrated into AMD Ryzen 400 Series Mobile allows adaptive sync variable refresh-rate technology. Ultraslim NanoEdge bezels surround the screens on three sides, for increased immersion and more portable chassis.

The overall volume of the 15-inch models have shrunk 7%, and 17-inch versions by 8%. Each laptop has a webcam at the top edge of the display. The subtle bump in the bezel houses the camera comfortably as well as be a convenient lip to lift the lid. Smaller proportions doesn’t stop the TUF Gaming laptops from having a bigger 90Wh battery option, though!
