another malaysian here, our tuf a15 2023 ver only 4070 edition have 1440p. the 2024 version does not have 1440p version available for both 4060 and 4070, basically forcing us to buy rog. Can check out taobao for their 天选5 series even 4060 have 1440p available.
The nits of brightness is what I really want on this laptop @ 500, I think 300 nits is just 10 years ago. I have my eyes on this, strix g16, and lenovo legion 5i pro. I wonder which is the best choice for me. Looking to spend 1000-1300 max.

the Tuf is usually a budget lineup I think, so there's a decent chance this could be reasonably priced. Still, it's not fundamentally any different from what launched last year.
The specs for this TuF laptop with R9-8945H and RTX 4070 is priced at 1.6k USD on my country (PH) via online shops and I bought 1 last week which was a huge upgrade from my old Asus RoG laptop that has GTX 1080. It's pretty much a mid-range budget gaming laptop at that price. The only thing I hate so far is that it only has 2 USB type A unlike my previous laptop which has 3, no issues performance wise though. Asus RoG, HP Omen and Dell laptops are the ones that are priced at 2k USD here.
I am saving up money to buy this to replace my old PC with a old and outdated AMD 6700 cpu in it and get ready for windows 10 to not be supported next year.
16:10 aspect ratio, which is the new form factor. Different prices. Different configurations of CPU/GPU. Also, they might be available in different regions/markets
Hi Gizmo, My legion pro 7i with rtx 4090 and i9-13900HX scored 18 k when plugged at auto fan speed and 26 k with max fan speed in Cinnebench r23, should I return it or is this ok?
26,000 with custom fans and maxed out power limits would be low, but you didn't mention the power limits. If no power limits adjusted, then 26K is within normal range for lower power i9-13900HX.
asus tufs are not tough laptops at all the plastic cracks easily especially when attempting to open the thing. the "military durability testing" seems like poor marketing to me
The build quality is bad through and through. Also, consider checking what military grade actually means. The standard is so very easily bypassed so basically your regular kitchen toaster can get the grade. Sad but true… Don’t even get me started on how notoriously bad ASUS rumor is with its mosfets. Before I’m branded as a hater, I’d still sooner pick up an ASUS laptop over an Mai, gigabyte, dell and hp. Picking the lesser expensive evil is for each of us to decide. Can’t really take this vid seriously other than being excited over the new stuff that’s coming out. Sound advice to not touch f15 and a16 though so you get a plus for that.

Hey where could you find these open box laptops ?
Just got the same one yesterday.
so it's pretty much the exact same laptop as last year? It just depends on whether or not Asus ship the 1440p version in your region.
Yeah, some specs will vary by region

This laptop vs MSI Pulse 17 i7 13700 RTX 4070 8 gb, specifically for gaming ? Im confused which one to buy, please advise.
The Ryzen 9 will probably be way better than I7 13th gen. So i think this laptop will be better option to choose.
