Q: Does the laptop have a built-in microphone?

A: This laptop has a built-in microphone.

Q: What is the refresh rate of the laptop's display?

A: The TUF Gaming A16 features a 165Hz display.

Q: I am interested in getting the Asus -Tuf Gaming A16 with Ryzen AI 9 HX processor. This sku comes with 1TB SSD. Is this upgradable to 2TB storage? My wife, a gamer, is concerned that 1TB will be limiting.

A: The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 (FA608WI) is upgradable to 2TB of storage. The laptop comes with two SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 slots.

Q: Is the keyboard RGB? Can the backlight color be changed from red?

A: Yes, you can choose different colors from the settings

Q: Specs says 2 RAM slots with 2 RAM sticks. Yet all other laptops with this CPU have solderet nonupgradeable RAM. Which is it? Updradeable RAM or not?

A: Per https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/all-series/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-2024-fa608/?utm_source=brand_assit&utm_campaign=brand_assit&utm_medium=manual_redirect&utm_content=fbe4faca-c435-4329-9216-e6da414a0a20#section-performance the AI bot says the below Asus answer is wrong, referring us to an older A16 variant of FA608 that did have upgradeable RAM. This model has soldered LPDDR5X RAM, and 32 GB is as much as you can get. So the several BB customer responders are correct, Asus responder is wrong. Pretty nice laptop except for 32 GB limitation. It has 140 Watt power limit so enuf juice to power the laptop 4070 with juice to spare for the AI 370 CPU and iGPU. Also has full blown power brick plus can top off charge via USB-C when on travel (I think you must buy your 100 W USB charger tho). If you can live with 32 GB, this is a good option along with the G16 and Pro Art models sporting the AI 370, although the Max+ 395 Halo laptops beat it.
