Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely wonderful machine!!! Quick, does great for gaming and video editing. Yes I get it the reviews said “loud” and “it gets hot” - this is a pretty powerful gaming machine in a small frame - physics are a real thing.

pretty smoth, i love it, good graphycs, good battery, pretty fast

Extreme performance for the $$$. If you can grab this during the sale, i would! Being an intel nvidia fan, i wantes to try this out. And im surprised! Runs better than a 4060 comparable, and much much better than a 4050 which seems to be all in this price range. Screen is really nice, deep dark colors. Took all updates and installs nicely. Love my new amd rig!

Was great until it crashed. Took in for repair and Best Buy was unable to repair it. They did charge me a repair fee and forgot to tell me I had already purchased a protection plan. So I paid 2x for the repair. I’m betting they won’t reimburse me for the repair charge. Any bets that they will?

I enjoy the laptop for work and gaming on the go. Upgraded with a 2 TB m.2 in available bay along with 32 gm of ram making it better for needs.

Great computer for the price! Works perfectly for what I need it too. My only complaint would the fan can be very loud and hot, but I got a cooler and it’s helped amazingly.

Easy to set up. No crapware other than W11. I appreciate how easy it was to add a second SSD. Cracking the case was simple with a plastic spudger. I keep it in silent mode because it's being used for multi track recording. It's as fast as my purpose built, air gapped studio computer. No perceptible fan noise at all. The only problems I have is dealing with Ammo Crate and AMD Tuning. I don't think they play well together. The other gotcha is the sound system. I use a variety of studio interfaces and they all work but trying to route didgial output to the headphone Jack has only worked ONE TIME. I was hoping to use this machine for mastering without any external gear attached. The display is awesome for what I'm doing. I've hooked it up to a 37" monitor and that works exceptionally well too. Kind of disappointed that it doesn't support 5600 memory. It has it hit only runs it at 4800. There doesn't appear to be any way to change it. If you're going to use it for gaming you probably need an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Laptop came shipped in a simple cardboard box with cardboard supports inside to protect it. A+ on the eco friendly packaging. Laptop gets plenty hot, as others have stated, uncomfortably hot even... a cooling pad that have a few fans would help if you're planning on sitting on the couch, etc. with this laptop in your lap. Laptop has had some sleep issues that seems to be intermittent. I've updated BIOS / all drivers, per ASUS but it still doesn't seem to always want to sleep properly. As I currently don't utilize the laptop full time, I haven't "dealt" with the issues yet but hope ASUS takes the issues seriously or they'll end up with a ton of RMA requests. Wifi card didn't play very nicely with my older router... I ended up getting a new router but researching it, it seems like many users have had issues with the WiFi card that ships with this laptop. You can swap it out with an Intel AX200 or AX210 for $20-$30 .. alas, most people don't want the hassle of having to do that with a brand new laptop.

This is the 2nd ASUS - TUF Gaming A16 laptop I have purchased. The first was November of 2023 and my wife liked it so much, that when I needed to replace mine I bought a 2nd one. Speed and graphics are great, so far no complaints and for under $800 it could not be passed up.

Amazing laptop , fans work good ( a lil louder over time but makes sense with a laptop ) . Runs games better than current gen consoles .

Love my Asus gaming laptop it's super fast it was a great value for the money and yes it was on sale when I got it but however even if it wasn't on sale the price was excellent the customer service representative was outstanding took the time to answer my questions because this was actually my first gaming computer and he was spot on this is the best gaming computer by far with the best price that fit my budget

Works perfectly outside of heating up really fast even when idle or doing small simple tasks like web browsing. Also occasionally freezes the mousepad for a split second and then goes back to normal. But other than those hiccups, it’s the dream mid range laptop for me

Purchased this laptop mainly for work needs but also light gaming when on the go. Its done everything ive needed and runs very well. The display isnt anything to write home about but gets the job done at this price point. The camera and mic works decently well for those work meeting yoh may need to take. Speakers are pretty loud and clear. Handles mutlitasking fantastically without slowing down!

I would give 4 stars, but I am giving it three because it was listed as an open box containing all components, however, it was missing the charger and booklets. The laptop itself is good for light gaming and is deserving of a 4 star rating. But if you plan to do any kind of heavy gaming on it, I recommend switching out the RAM and adding another SSD, as it has two ports to do so. It is still a very good laptop for light gaming and doing school/company work without the upgrades.

Great computer, runs fast, I did get an additional SSD, the SN770 just for extra. Helps keep computer running smooth. You can’t go wrong with ASUS. I even have the gaming phone with this company and no complaints other than running a little hot, but it’s a phone so the fans aren’t big enough.

The Asus Laptop I received, hs great portability. It allows me to game on the go or easily move my setup between rooms or locations.It has Powerful Performance. This thing is equipped with powerful hardware that can handle demanding games and provide smooth gameplay. The Asus has great Versatility. In addition to gaming, this one can be used for productivity tasks, content creation, and entertainment.

This is a really good laptop, although I had quite an issue with the hinge, the right-side hinge grew unstable and collapsed, I haven't really had much help from Best Buy though... But the laptop runs well, just watch out for the hinges, make sure you open the laptop slowly and carefully, etc.

As advertized. With a little tweaking on battery settings the Asus A16 TUF Adavantage Edition ran video playback with sound at 50% and screen brightness 30% for about 7.5 hours. The laptop is easy to transport at just over 4 pounds and I like the tactile feel of the metal lid and trackpad. The side bevels look and feel sleek. The screen hinge tension is secure, easily opening with the front protrusion, and the screen frame itself is set vaulted away from the keyboard which I believe helps with viewing angle and cooling. (And looks cool) Vents on the bottom (2 fans) and sides allow for max cooling during gaming, but you'll want to find an outlet for gaming sessions over an hour as the dedicated gpu recommended for AAA gaming will use more power. Overall very happy, and the upgrade space for RAM and storage will make this a very capable little machine. 4 stars: I wish the speakers were a little louder. Also keyboard backlight is not programable, just 3 settings of all very bright white.

This is a great laptop if you can get it on sale and now how to work the settings of the pc and how to utilize asus armory. Poor thermals. Out of the box this thing will max 95c EASY. It is a laptop but thats pretty bad, however there are some things you can do to easily keep the temps manageable when your gaming or other intense tasks. Just look up stuff on the internet about the tuf a16 and you'll find some ideas to try out. I got this laptop on sale and for an 8 core cpu and an 8 gig gpu it was a heck of a deal! Haven't played to many games yet but with the tweaks to manage temp I was running Space Marines 2 on high settings while maintaining 70c range. This goes for 1100 here on bestbuy, if you can get it for under 800 like I did id for sure consider it! to be completely honest I feel like you can get something better for 1100.

Wonderful Laptop. Runs any game at over 120Fps without an issue. Also great for everyday use as its light and portable. The only drawback is the the battery life, so while i game i keep it on the charger.
