Our Verdict
ASUS TUF Dash F15 (2022)
Dell G15 (2022)
The ASUS TUF Dash F15 (2022) and the Dell G15 (2022) are both 15.6-inch budget gaming laptops available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 30-series GPUs. Build-wise, the ASUS is better. It feels sturdier than the Dell, and it's more portable because it's lighter and more compact. It also has a better keyboard and touchpad, and its battery lasts longer.
