Moreover, CPU and GPU share a uni-memory to quickly fetch information.

That said, RAM helps in accessing data in real-time too. This machine has a whopping 16 GB DDR5 RAM, which is clocked at 4800 MHz. That is one heck of a speed, just by the way.GraphicsThe dedicated NVIDIA RTX 3060 GDDR6 is a pretty powerful GPU in the 3000 series. The GPU is powered by Ampere architecture.

The 15.6 screen offers a Full HD 1080p IPS antiglare display with 144 Hz refresh rate. You get an adaptive sync along with MUX switch and Optimus in this device as well. Such great specifications not only make this laptop ideal for gamers but also for content creators and graphic designers. Also, the creative audience would be interested in knowing that it has 62.5% sRGB, and 47.34% Adobe which ensures good colours as you create.SpeakersYou also get dual-firing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. While the speakers work fine on their own, the app lets you tune them as per your liking. Build and DesignFor a gaming laptop, this device is quite portable as it weighs only 2 kg. Similar to ASUS TUF 2022, the DASH variant too has an aluminium lid and a sturdy plastic body that offers military-standard durability. The entire chassis is black and features a backlit keyboard. As for the touchpad, the gestures work pretty fine on it and the feedback is quite decent as well.Cooling SystemBearing 84-blade Arc Flow Fans, 133% thinner than regular blades, ASUS TUF Dash delivers high air flow to counter overheating of the device. Moreover, there are four fan outlets from where the hot air is dissipated outside as well as high airflow also cleans up the inside components from dust.
