It is a bit less intuitive than the dedicated button we had on the ASUS TUF Dash F15 (FX516), but it’s still good to have the option, nonetheless.ĪSUS TUF Gaming A17 FA706 is equipped with a 144Hz Full HD IPS screen, model number BOE NV173FHM-NX4 (BOE0995). It’s worth mentioning that when you combine the “F5” key with the function button, you can switch between the Armoury Crate performance presets. However, once again, we see one of the smallest Arrow keys on the planet, hardly usable for anyone with a normal finger layout. Also, the notebook features a NumberPad section. The key travel is good, and the feedback is rather clicky, making for a good gaming and typing experience. We see an RGB backlit board, with transparent WASD keys. Next, let’s take a look at the keyboard deck, which is completely unchanged from last year. Unfortunately, when you twist the lid, you will notice some color shifting on the display… so it is better not to twist it. The screen, itself, features an anti-reflective finish, while the bezels to the sides and the top are rather thin. Thankfully, though, once you get it open, you will see a Webcam placed above the display. Speaking of which, the lid refuses to open with a single hand. Pretty good size for a 17-inch laptop.Īlthough the chassis is plastic, we feel that it still has pretty strong support, with very little flex being observed both from the base and the lid.

In terms of measurements, we are talking about 23.3-24.8mm thickness, and a weight of 2.60 kg. Once again, the entire body is made out of plastic, with the only difference being the lid, which now employs a more robotic sticker, compared to the chivalric TUF logo.

As we mentioned, the TUF A17 (FA706) 2021 is largely unchanged from its 2020 predecessor.
