Customers are saying

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. Additionally, a few users feel that the storage could be larger, the laptop is a bit heavy, and the screen brightness could be improved.

    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.

    We bought for our son for Christmas. He hasn't used it yet but I know that according to my brother-in-law it's going to be a wonderful gift for him. It has everything that a person needs in a gaming PC at a fraction of the typical cost. We got it on Black Friday for almost $500 off. We are looking forward to him opening it and enjoying it.

    This laptop is great for anything you throw at it. I do have a few issues. One it doesn't have much storage but has a empty nvme drive that i put a 2tb in and was easy to put in, except for the screw being extremely tight. The other issue is the logo on the top is barely visible and it seems to not be very durable. Overall i do like it.

    I've had this for about a month, and overall it's been a good upgrade from my previous laptop. The only downsides I've experienced thus far is that it is VERY heavy (surprisingly so), and the battery life isn't as good as I was hoping for as I feel it drains pretty quickly. It's also not a touchscreen, if anyone else was looking for that and missed that in the item description! But it looks and runs well

    This laptop was very good. It booted quickly, not very many stutters and was able to play many games without any difficulty. Can play BO6 at 120fps, it also ran RuneScape dragonwilds very good. It feels like a quality laptop with its design. It also is not heavy at all and had easy to use software.

    I’ve been playing primarily on consoles for long time, so I’m ok not being on the leading edge of performance, but I do value consistency and being able to expect things to work the way they are supposed to. This is my third attempt with an ASUS gaming laptop, between expensive, midrange, and now budget with this one. In my testing the performance was surprisingly good in some cases and surprisingly bad in others. CP2077 was actually playable at 30-40 fps at ultra settings with ray tracing, but then I turned around and tried out Overwatch and somehow couldn’t break 100 fps even in low settings. Leaves me with no idea what to expect with other games. Bluetooth was frequently losing connections. A few times, after walking away for awhile, I came back to find the screen off, completely unresponsive, and fans blowing at 100% needing to power off to recover. I would be using this for work as well, so I can’t have nonsense like that happening to me at random times. If you can get this on sale you might be getting more than your money’s worth depending on what you play (and maybe luck?) but I just don’t have the patience for all the shenanigans anymore. For me, ASUS just isn’t worth the hassle. Going to return this and try one of the domestic brands and hope things go better.

    Poor build quality

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

    This was my first ASUS laptop, which I bought over the summer to replace my old one. However, it’s only been a few months, and two screws on the back have already come loose and fallen out. Unfortunately, I’ve lost one of the screws. Since I don’t have the necessary screwdriver at home, I’ll have to go out of my way to purchase one. I was expecting much better build quality from a brand like ASUS.
