14:20 - Conclusion
The Asus TUF Dash F15 (2022 model FX517Z) is currently one of the best gaming laptops for under $1000 (on sale). You get the latest Intel 12th gen CPU with 10 cores, Nvidia 3060 GPU with MUX switch, and futureproofed input/output with Thunderbolt 4 (40gb/s).
At 4.41 lbs, it's super light for a gaming laptop, but it also means there's less space for the cooling system; when pushed hard, the air gets really hot. Some annoyances: The I/O ports are also too close together & how the hinge doesn't open more.
Otherwise, I think it's designed well. Asus has done a great job balancing performance vs weight at a great price.
