Great value gaming laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good gaming computer for just about entry level gamers. Spec'd well enough to run most games and quality seems great thus far. It does seem to run hot, so probably want this more on a table/desk than on the lap.

Good laptop for basic gaming.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my daughter. She carries it all over, and it meets all her needs. She likes Minecraft, some Disney games on Steam, and Roblox (chat/messaged disabled!) Sometimes it doesn't wake from sleep mode, and I help her by doing a hard shut off and booting back up. This is more of a driver/Windows 11 issue - but still keeps it from 5 stars. Specs are fantastic for the price range.

Great laptop - small quirk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been really happy with this laptop thus far. The screen is amazing, the processing is really fast, and I haven't had any freeze ups or issues yet. However, the keyboard drives me nuts. The design is such that if you are laying down you can see the lighting glaring under the keys, which is super distracting. If you turn the light off, you can barely see the keys even in a lit room. Also the battery does not last long even on eco mode. But for what I paid I am still very satisfied.

In this economy... worth every penny!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had this laptop a few months. I have no complaints. Handles work well decent battery life. Handles games even better. I really like that it looks like a normal laptop but can game when I want. Games played are Call of Duty and FFXIV online. Can say they both run at 60fps or greater at 1080p. FFXIV is good at 1440p on laptop low settings.

Great product! Poor battery life :(
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price, easy to upgrade, and handles games well. Has an unfortunate battery, but the charger isn’t too bulky to where it’s annoying to carry around. I can’t recommend if you don’t want to keep the charger with you at all times.

Great laptop but with one flaw
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great AMD CPU/GPU. Great keyboard and 144hz panel. Build materials on the laptop could be better. Different size screws so be careful and layout the screws exactly how you placed to ensure it goes back in the right hole. Otherwise you can risk cosmetic damage with small bumps which is known to Asus laptops. Microsoft pushed out a nasty windows update that messed up the bootloader which thankfully the system restore was enabled by default from the factory as Asus does their custom image like other manufacturers with software such as Armoury crate. I didn't need it with the steam deck, gaming desktop and a simple laptop for school work but it's a great machine nonetheless when you catch it on sale.

1 Month Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive been using this laptop a little over a month almost every evening and im thoroughly satisfied. Only complaint i have is the storage that comes out of the box. The 500gb ssd is fine if you only play light games but after 3 big games your out of storage. So an hdd upgrade is needed but its great other than that. Has great cooling, no weird issues with drivers and holds the performance through and through

Top-Tier Gaming Machine Engineered to Survive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a great gaming laptop capable of running 2024's most demanding games, including a maxed-out Baldur's Gate 3, and the ASUS A16 delivered. Excellent and affordable gaming machine, at least with the sale running when I purchased it.

Good for both School and Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had for about 4 months now and it's pretty good when it comes for gaming and daily life stuff. Probably the only downside is probably the fans get a bit loud sometimes but nothing insane on my end.

Sad purchase and the worst of my life
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop in August, but have only used it a total of 5 times. The first time I didn't notice anything strange, the second and third time I noticed that it got too hot and the battery lasted only an hour, without even using games or heavy applications, only with google. Today I used it a couple of times and I could recognize worse problems. The screen flickers without apparent sense, parts of the screen appear in white and others in black, the whole screen turns black from one moment to another. I do not live in the United States and it was a friend of my mother's who was able to buy it and bring it to Peru. But it has been the worst money my father has ever had to spend in his life. It has been more than 60 days since the purchase and I just noticed the failures because I didn't want to use the laptop so much so that it wouldn't break and only for university work (making maps and using Zoom). Now I can't even use google and type because the color changes on the screen prevent me from doing so. I really don't know what to do or how it would be possible for BestBuy to accept the return. I am too sad because my father saved for a long time to be able to buy me this laptop. I hope someone can help me.

Good gaming laptop under $1k
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great gaming laptop for under $1000. Solid CPU and GPU with 16 gigs of ram(minimum needed for gaming). Easily add a Second hard drive for more storage. One downside I found is the Screen could be brighter but as long as it's not in direct sunlight it's OK.

Only if you see in a promo!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good performance. Loud average. Pre-installed software isn't the best (I needed changed the SO). Battery is OK for the type of PC. I see The worst is the temp, is to high!

Tuf Book A16
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome laptop runs new games at 80-120fps on medium settings. Laptop does get really hot when using demanding apps (such as gaming) and fans are loud. Worth the switch from console. Would recommend.
