Customers are impressed with the TUF Gaming A16 laptop's strong performance, solid build quality, and satisfactory battery life. Many also appreciate its reasonable price, exceptional speed, sufficient RAM, and great graphics. However, some customers have noted that the laptop can get hot during demanding games and that the fan noise can be loud.

    I usually build a desktop every 5ish years using -1 gen components. I have been wanting a laptop to replace my aging platform and this does everything I need. It is mostly plugged in and completely replaces my desktop. It is portable. a plus. I do light to medium gaming and the standard email web browsing. Both RAM slots are filled so if you want to upgrade to 32GB you need 2. Upgrading M.2 SSD and RAM was easy.

    This laptop is amazing for the price! the gaming experience is great and it is also great for school too. The battery life is incredible. I get 11 to 13 hours with the gpu turned off and using integrated graphics to do productivity tasks. If you can find it on sale, I would go for it! You wont be disappointed.

    I left the review at 3 stars as is for an average laptop. My only complaint with this laptop is that all the games that I play is bottlenecked hard by the cpu. Maybe I got a dud but I bought this brand new for college and some mild gaming, I do however have a desktop with a 3080ti. Again, decent laptop but the cpu is bottlenecking the awesome Gpu that it comes with. Do not get this if ur sole purpose is to game. If you are gaming, you are looking at sub par performance and you will need to lower expectations/settings a lot unless you’re playing old games. Everything else is great, a lot of things you can customize. Upgraded ram and ssd.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Dear Aaron,

      We appreciate your honest 3-star review and valuable feedback on your A16. We understand your disappointment when gaming performance doesn't fully align with expectations, especially coming from a desktop environment. Your observation about the CPU bottleneck is noted, and it highlights the balance between components necessary for a laptop designed for both college work and mild gaming. To help ensure you're getting the best possible performance, beyond checking for background apps and completing all pending updates in Armoury Crate and Windows, we advise: Confirming your power plan in Windows is set to 'High Performance' or the equivalent AMD Ryzen plan. Ensuring your display refresh rate is correctly set in Windows display settings.
      Your feedback regarding the gaming experience is incredibly valuable for our product development. If these suggestions don't resolve your concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] for a deeper dive into your specific setup. Please include a link to this post and your laptop's serial number for reference.

      Thank you for choosing ASUS!

    Have had 0 issues with this laptop. Pretty quiet, fast, and smooth. Some reviews mentioned getting hot but I've had no heat issues when put on a proper resting place (any hard surface and not soft surfaces). Also seems to run everything that's been loaded up good. Overall would recommend and was a great purchase.

    An AMD Laptop w/ Some Fallbacks

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I'll cut to the chase. This laptop is great and I had very few complaints but they were big enough for actual concern. I ended up taking this laptop back to Best Buy then paying the 800 dollar difference for a much better Acer Predator laptop with an Intel processor and Nvidia card. I was super excited to have an all AMD build but it wakes up only half of the time and barely went back to sleep when closed. For those who don't know, you can do Ray Tracing with an AMD card but you can't run anything with RTX. Did I realize there was a difference even with all of my years of watching Linus freaking Tech Tips or Gamers Nexus...no I did not and I'm sure most don't lol Take my word for it, this is an amazing laptop and if it was for school or someone wanting to get into laptop gaming specifically this is the Holy Grail of gaming laptops! Sometimes the power button would be unresponsive and the screen only goes up to 300 nits TOPS. For those who don't know, that's so dim you might as well lock yourself in a windowless room to see what you're actually doing lol I wanted this to be my favorite purchase I've made in a while but a 500 dollar Xbox Series X runs Microsoft exclusive titles better than this PC could. Idk I'm torn and I was READY to become an AMD die hard!

    This computer is amazing. I wanted something that I would be able to play my PC games on and also something that would work well for school and work and I think this computer is the perfect match for that. Bestbuy was also awesome with everything from shipping (it took two days to get here) to the trade-in I used for the computer (they gave me the max amount I was hoping for). I definitely recommend this computer and purchasing the open-box "refurbished" products overall. They're brand new and Bestbuy does a great job ensuring they're all functioning and looking great.

    Excellent as long as it's on sale as it's not worth the $1100 msrp. With that said, no matter what game I've played on it...Control, Far Cry 6, Star Wars Survior it plays them all at high settings. I have added a 1tb SSD and I do plan on adding 32gb of ram as it those said games do max out the ram. I also like that it's all AMD. Battery life is just average ( about 5-6 hours of non gaming)
