DESIGN

Dash into action

Clean lines define the look and feel of the new TUF Dash F15. The simple typography stands tall against bold backgrounds in Moonlight White or Eclipse Gray. Even the chassis evokes the linear lettering, closing down to a streamlined 19.9mm thin. Super-narrow bezels continue the theme, maximizing screen space with minimal distraction. The dashing looks don't compromise a classic TUF core that meets military-grade MIL-STD standards.

Streamlined

Open spaces. Precise lines. Sharp angles. Our new logo evokes the strength and durability that TUF stands for. The Dash F15 represents a new horizon for TUF, drawing a line between the past and a leaner, lighter, and more inclusive future. We're building on a strong core foundation to bring top tier gaming experiences to everyone.

Everyday portability

The new slim form factor is just 19.9mm thin, allowing it to slip easily into backpacks and travel with you everywhere. It's the most portable TUF gaming laptop to date: 10% lighter and with a footprint 20% smaller than standard TUF Gaming models, without compromising performance. With all this power in such a streamlined chassis, the only thing you need to worry about carrying is your team.

Strong and steady

In order to earn the TUF Gaming name, our laptops must survive a rigorous battery of military-grade MIL-STD-810H tests including drops, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures. Dependable even in the harshest conditions, TUF laptops are reliable allies against the bumps and knocks of everyday life.

Cooling

Lasting cool

Comprehensive cooling sustains long-term system reliability and extends the lifespan of the Dash F15. Five heatpipes draw warmth away from the CPU, GPU, VRM and VRAM and dissipate it quickly through four heatsinks and fan outlets, keeping component temperatures at optimum levels. A self-cleaning design removes debris from the cooling system to ensure full functionality for the long haul. Two n-Blade fans made of resilient liquid-crystal polymer allow for thinner blades that hold their shape at higher speeds to maximize airflow.
