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.

Unexpected stuttering?!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a negative surprise - few years ago I had a G14 with all AMD and that one worked well, so when this TUF went on sale for just $599 open-box I though it is a great deal. However, it stutters in games where 4060 works just fine. It runs a bit hot, but no more than other gaming laptops. It struggles even at 1080p using the laptop screen, and is more evident at 1440p external monitor both HDMI and usb-c to display port. After the 45 min gaming session with F1 2024 it crashed with a message from AMD Radeon software that driver is disconnected from the hardware?! Disappointed. In local LLM tasks works well Meta Llama 3.1 8b parameters and a famous "write me a thousand word story" ends with respectable 42 tokens/s using the rx7700s (vs. cpu only 5.6 t/s, apple M4 does 18.6 t/s) Did not try longer LLM / RAG workloads.

Posted .Dear Dragandi,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the laptop and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing stutters while gaming. To resolve the problem, please check if the laptop is running with the most current AMD chipset and audio driver, and BIOS. Updates for this laptop are posted at: https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-advantage-edition-2023/helpdesk_download?model2Name=FA617NT . Keeping the laptop updated will maintain optimum system stability and performance. Additionally, while accessing cloud games, please ensure the unit has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since poor and unstable internet connection will definitely affect system speed and performance, and may cause stuttering while gaming. If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "My ASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the laptop, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/.
If you need further assistance with the laptop please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
