For the TUF A15, there are two variants available. Its design still retains the overall look from the current AMD Ryzen 4000-powered TUF Gaming A15, but it does receive the new logo. With the new TUF A15, you might lose the capability of using a 2.5-inch drive, but you do get a much larger battery rated at 90Whr. Performance wise, you’ll be getting a huge boost as it is now running on the new Zen 3-based AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, paired with either Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 graphics.
