Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop review: Brains and beauty

0
Asus’s gaming machines have always been the ones to look out for. This year the company launched the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop 2021 edition, which simply put, is a pure stunner. We spent some time with the laptop and this is the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop review, you should not miss.

Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop review: Design and Display

We are sure the engineers and designers at Asus are locked in a room to bring out the best of both worlds. Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop is a very good-looking device, which every gamer would love to own. We got our hands on the white version of the laptop and even though it can catch those dark ugly smudges, we could not stop drooling over it. Upfront you get an ultra-thin 15.6-inch anti-glare display with a 240Hz refresh rate. It supports full-HD graphics, too. The lower part has a large keyboard without NUMPAD. Here the WASD keys are transparent which the FPS gamers would love. The keyboard is backlit and has a couple of extra multimedia keys along with the diamond-shaped power button on top. The trackpad is also decently large and does not come in the way when typing. Asus TUF Dash F15 The top of the lid has the large TUF branding in a matte white finish with grey lines. The right side of the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop has two USB 3.2 ports, while the left side has another USB port, one 3.5mm audio jack, one HDMI, Ethernet and one thunderbolt port. The power input is also placed here. An array of microphones can also be found on the laptop, however, there is no webcam on the device. So that sums up the design, now let’s move on. The display is by far one of the best we have seen on an Asus laptop. The brightness is great and games like DOTA 2 or CS: Go can be played with ease at 120+ frames per second. We watched a lot of movies on the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop, plus some Netflix shows in HD and the laptop did not disappoint us. The sound compliments the screen, but we wanted a little more thump from it.

Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop review: Performance

Let’s quickly talk about the tech specifications first. The Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop we reviewed had the Intel Core i7 version that supports 3.3 GHz. But this is just a quad core CPU, which is not super best for high-end gaming, but does get the job done on medium to high settings with the NVIDIA 3070RTX GPU for most games. Asus TUF Dash F15 The above is coupled with 16GB RAM, 8GB of which is soldered on the motherboard and 8GB is removable. Most super-thin gaming laptops (this one is 19.9mm thin) like these come with soldered RAM, which has its own pros and cons. Pro is the thinness of the notebook and the con is if it gets ruined, you need to replace the motherboard. Users also get 1TB NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD. Windows 10 Home is the native OS on the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop. We would have appreciated the Pro version. The laptop also has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. Overall, the laptop performed really well and we loved working on it. It does get hot rather quickly when gaming, but the system fans do a good job of keeping it cool. But for prolonged gaming, you would need to keep the AC in the room turned on. Moving to its battery life, the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop lasts for Over 12.5 hours when watching FHD movies or YouTube videos. But it drops down considerably when you are gaming. This is why it is recommended to keep the charger connected when you are slaying your enemies on screen. Also, that will kick in the discreet GPU unit. The laptop supports fast charging too. It can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes.

Verdict

There is less bloatware on the system and most of the apps can be easily removed. The armoury crate app is also there to manage the preferred system and game settings. Asus emphasizes that the laptop has military-grade toughness, though we did not test it, it did look quite rugged. The weight of the machine is around 2Kg, which is not bad for the latest chipsets driven Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop. The price of this laptop is 1,28,990 upwards. So if you can afford it and do not mind the extra AC bill, then go for it.

ViewSonic LS600WE projector review: For the love of viewing

1
ViewSonic is a company that is synonymous with producing some great and good-looking projectors for a very long time. They have introduced another good projector in the Indian market, which caters to both home as well as business users. We tinkered around with this one for some time to find out what it is all about. If you are in the market to buy a projector then you should read the ViewSonic LS600WE projector review below. ViewSonic LS600WE projector review: Design The ViewSonic LS600WE projector is nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to its design, but it looks modern and checks all the boxes of a good design. Dressed in white, it is a fairly large projector that can be roof-mounted or kept on the table. We kept it on the table and were up and running in 5 minutes time. Yes, that is how much time it takes to set it up. The functions are fairly simple and with the supplied IR remote and well-placed buttons on top of the projector you can access all the features with ease. There are a lot of ports placed behind the ViewSonic LS00WE projector. These include a couple of HDMI ports, 1 Ethernet port, USB, Video-in and audio in and out ports. We connected the laptop to the projector via HDMI and the results were good. More about it in the performance section. The manual zoom knob is also given on the top, which also works well and is not flimsy at all. Users can zoom 1.2X optically using it. A 10W speaker is also part of the ViewSonic LS600WE projector, which is given at the back of the projector. It is not super loud but is decent for small to medium rooms. In case you want higher sound, you can connect external speakers. ViewSonic LS600WE projector review: Performance Now on to the fun part. The ViewSonic LS600WE projector is an LED projector and not the usual Lamp driven projector. According to the company, it can last for up to 30,000 hours. Which is good enough for a very-very long time. It supports FHD resolution (up to 1080p) which will display great imagery on a wall or projector screen. 3,800 ANSI lumens of brightness is there, which is exceptional if you are watching it in brightly lit rooms. We tested it on a yellow/off white wall and we were very happy with the results. The images were great, there was no ghosting, and the blacks seemed deep. The colours were vibrant and there was no need to dim the lights. As said, the sound is fine for small rooms, but for large ones, you do require extra speakers. The supplied remote works well, too. Keystone correction is another good feature that allows the users to rectify the screen if the projector is kept at an angle. The projector consumes 270watts when working and just 0.5W when in standby mode. ViewSonic LS600WE projector supports screen sizes from 30-300 inches. That is an A+ in our books as you can enjoy sporting events and movies on an extremely large screen. Overall, we loved what this neat device had to project. Verdict At Rs 1,49,000 the ViewSonic LS600WE projector is a decent buy for home users and businesses, as it does not have any moving parts. It is also dust resistant and considering our homes and offices are very dusty, the projector will last longer. A worthy buy if you can afford it. Pros: Good look Excellent colour reproduction A good amount of ports Cons: Some might find it expensive No 4K support For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

The company claims that this will help its viewers discover and buy products from Indian retailers through videos. This news comes by way of a blog post that stated,  “As more and more shopping happens online, video has an important role in helping viewers discover new products and find expert advice they trust. Every day, people come to YouTube to compare products, watch reviews and find recommendations from their favourite creators.

So YouTube has acquired this Indian company in order to help small businesses and retailers in India to reach new customers. As of now, there will be no immediate changes to simsim, the app will continue operating independently while we work on ways to showcase simsim offers to YouTube viewers.   As per the video, giant small businesses have used YouTube to expand their presence online — and many of them use YouTube to reach customers outside of their local community, from Interior Designers to Silk Sarees sellers In a joint statement, simsim cofounders, Amit Bagaria, Kunal Suri and Saurabh Vashishtha said, “We started simsim with the mission of helping users across India shop online with ease, enabled through small sellers and brands showcasing and selling their products using the power of content by trusted influencers. Being a part of the YouTube and Google ecosystem furthers simsim in its mission. We cannot think of a better ecosystem in which to build simsim, in terms of technology, reach, creator networks and culture. We can’t wait to be part of YouTube and are excited to build simsim within the most admired tech company in the world.” As per YouTube the ongoing investments in India is a part of the India Digitization Fund. The company is working with their partners to expand access to the Internet. The company added, “ we know the online video will continue to grow as the primary way to find information, entertainment and connections in India.

WhatsApp rolling out FaceTime like Joinable Calls feature to Android and iOS devices

Last Week Whatsapp was spotted testing a new FaceTime like calling feature in which the user can join group calls after they have already begun. Earlier this was not possible to join group calls while they are in progress but the active participant has to add the user later on. But that’s not the case anymore as WhatsApp has started rolling out the joinable group calls allowing users to join a group video or voice call after it has started and was missed. WhatsApp Joinable Calls is a new user interface that is very similar to the interface you see on Facetime. The feature gives the ability to people to join calls even when they are already started. WhatsApp will give you the option or alert if you want to quickly join the call, without asking other participants to add you again if the group call is still ongoing. This feature is such a relief to many users like us who don’t want to join a group video or voice call initially or ignore them temporarily for whatever reasons and quickly join the call later on without asking other participants to add you again. WhatsApp via a blog post said, “At a time when so many of us are apart, there’s nothing better than getting together on a group call with friends and family, and there’s nothing worse than realizing that you missed a special moment. As the popularity of group calls continues to grow, we’ve been working to improve the experience for our users – while of course still providing the security and privacy of end-to-end encryption. Today we’re introducing the ability to join a group call, even after it’s started. Joinable calls reduce the burden of answering a group call as it starts, and brings the spontaneity and ease of in-person conversations to a group calling on WhatsApp.” When someone in your group misses a call when the phone rings, they can still join whenever they like. You can also drop-off and re-join so long as the call is still ongoing as the new WhatsApp Joinable calls feature to make it possible. WhatsApp has also created a call info screen that will show who is already on the call, and who has been invited but not yet joined. And, if you hit ‘ignore’ you can join later from the calls tab in WhatsApp. WhatsApp has begun rolling out the feature with a new update and it is expected to arrive at your devices on the latest version of WhatsApp for Android and iOS soon.

iQoo 7 Review: A killer gaming smartphone

It’s been some time since we have been using the iQoo 7, which is ready to take on its competitors under the Rs 35,000 price segment. Vivo has introduced its flagship series, which includes a Legend edition. Today we will be reviewing iQoo 7, which brings a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC that directly puts in front of the Mi 11X that has the same processor. In addition to this, there is a 120Hz display and more cool features. So let’s find out how well the smartphone performed in our iQoo 7 review.

iQoo 7 review: Design and Display

Let’s first start with the built quality and the design of the iQoo 7. This phone carries a simplistic design. The Solid Ice Blue colour, which we have, comes with a gradient finish and changes its hues when light hits it at different angles. The back of the phone is layered with AG matte glass to give it a matte yet smooth feel. Also, it does not attract any fingerprints and smudges at all. The big-sized camera module does not wobble when placed on a table or flat surface.  iQoo 7 review: Design and DisplayiQoo 7 review: Design and Display The side frames are made of plastic and all the buttons are given on the right side that includes power and volume rocker keys. The power button does not double up as a fingerprint reader since the company has integrated an in-display sensor. The phone does not ship a 3.5mm headphone jack or a microSD card slot. At the bottom, you will find a SIM card slot, Type-C USB port and a speaker grille, which is primary while the earpiece is a secondary one. So, yes you do get stereo sound support. iQoo 7 review: Design and Display   Due to its tall build, the device cannot be used single-handedly. There is a 6.62-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate and a 300Hz touch sampling rate. Notably, most of the apps run on a 120Hz refresh rate, but YouTube on 60Hz only. Though it supports a higher refresh rate, the display does not feel buttery smooth while scrolling feeds on social media accounts. That could be the case of sensitivity. This we could feel as we have recently switched from Mi 11X Pro to iQoo 7, which was swift and smooth. iQoo 7 review The display comes with a peak brightness of 1,300nits, so the readability outdoors is perfect and can achieve low brightness while using the phone in bed or in dim light conditions. The colours are also fine, but you can change them in the display setting to your preference. The display comes with Widewine L1 support, but you can only stream content in HDR format. Moreover, there is an anti-flicker mode that reduces screen flicker and minimises visual fatigue when the screen brightness is low. But this may increase screen noise slightly. We have also realised that the company should have cut down the front camera diameter just like its competition has.

iQoo 7 review: Performance and Cameras

iQoo 7 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, along with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. We have the 8GB RAM with a 128GB storage variant for review. The Snapdragon 870 unlocks great gaming performance and offers top-notch performance. Under real-life usage, the device is fast while opening default apps and effortless in multitasking. There even the most demanding titles like Call of Duty don’t stutter when played at the highest of graphics settings. You can convert the standard definition game to HDR. The phone does get warm at the back, but we cannot call it a heating issue. Most importantly this does not throttle the performance and the phone’s temp cools down very quickly.  The company claims that the phone has a graphite layer cooling system, but playing graphic-intensive games like COD, PUBG and Asphalt will surely take a toll on the thermals after 15 minutes of gameplay. You will also get to feel the vibration during gaming since there is 4D Game Vibration which uses the dual linear vibration motor. This feature lets you feel the bumps and impacts that boost the overall gaming performance on iQoo 7. iQoo 7 review: Performance and Cameras So far we have covered the display, design and performance side of things now comes the camera’s performance. There is a triple rear camera setup that includes a Sony IMX 598 48-megapixel primary sensor with OIS, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens that also doubles up as a macro sensor and a 2-megapixel mono lens. The phone features a 16-megapixel front-facing camera for taking selfies and video calling. The cameras manage to produce brighter, pleasing images, with good dynamic range and shadow details as well. When clicking images of flowers the cameras bring out more saturation, but we preferred it that way. The same goes with the ultra-wide images, the photos are sharp, bright and do not look dark. The OIS kicks in while shooting nighttime images, therefore, offering brighter and sharper images. You can also turn on the night mode, but sometimes the shots delivered are unnecessarily brighter at certain instances but does an excellent job in maintaining exposure and details in extremely low light conditions by bringing in more light. When it comes to portraits, the photos look unnaturally yellowish or orangish around the subject’s face. But sharpness and dynamic range are natural and the subject’s face looks smoothened. Besides this, the camera app offers some cool image effects to play with but at times the edge detection is just not perfect when it comes to selfies.

Now coming to the videography, iQoo 7 can capture 4K videos at 60fps from its primary rear camera. However, this resolution lacks booths EIS and OIS. The ultra-wide videos remain limited to 1080p @ 30fps and it also lacks stabilisation.

The selfie videos have good details and the skin tone looks natural while the audio pickup is decent as well. As for the battery life, iQoo 7 is fueled by a 4,400mAh battery. You end up getting more than 1 day of battery life even if you are a heavy user. The company ships a 65W charger that juices up the battery from zero to 50 percent in just 10 minutes and fully charges it in just half an hour. That’s commendable.

Verdict

So there you have it guys, the review of iQoo 7. The company has managed to deliver an overall balanced phone with this one that easily surpasses many devices at this price point. If you are on the lookout for a good gaming smartphone, this could very well be the option.
