There is no such notable wobble on the keyboard and overall the build quality is very impressive.

Taking about just synthetic Bench-Marks, the laptop scores :
1. Cinebench R23- Single-Core-1790
                               Multi-Core-16,527

2. Geekbench 5- Single-Core-1775

                                                       CPU Score-13,222

Gaming Performance: The Asus TUF F-15 was tested thoroughly. We also played games in room temperature at around 26°C  and without any cooling pads and the results are:

• In PUBG we got almost 130-150 FPS and the temperature was almost 90 degrees in medium settings.
• In Valorant also in medium settings the FPS was between 250-400 FPS and same temperature
  

Overall the gaming performance was pretty good but the laptop heats  up pretty quickly and you may face throttle over longer  periods of gaming. 
 

Overall Performance: The above Bench Marks are quite realistic about the performance of the laptop. The overall experience of the laptop is  pretty amazing and balanced, it can basically handle almost anything, except the heavy 4k video editing.  The laptop can very easily handle any kind of image editing, 1080p video editing and even gaming without any heavy jitter or lag.  

  

Battery life: The Asus TUF F-15 Comes with a 90Whr battery and the battery can last anywhere between 3-5hours of screen-on-time depending on the usage.

Verdict

The all new Asus TUF F-15 i7 12th-Gen will cost around 1.40L without any discounts. The performance it offers and the features are also pretty impressive but the thing is you have to decide whether it will serve your particular purpose. If you have the budget then go for it , you will not be disappointed by the performance.
