Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this Open Box - Excellent for less than $650. So based on that it is was a great value. I did have some issues with occasional blue screens. Which makes me wonder if that is why the previous person returned it. I used the SFC /scannow & DISM tools to check for file repairs. Fixed it and haven't had an issue since. So if you have blue screens, try those repair commands. Besides that, I have used this daily, plays every game I have tried, of course you have to set the game accordingly, it is a laptop after all. The speakers are pretty mediocre and I wish the screen would get a little bit brighter, but I can live with both of those limitations at the price I got this at. And I have a headset when audio is important. Battery has been good when I've used it.

I am very happy with this laptop. (Purchased at $750) It performs well, has good features (battery health protection, etc.), and has an understated look that makes it appropriate to use at work. While upgrades aren't necessary, the laptop is user expandable and upgradable. I have added a second nvme stick drive and upgraded the ram (16 -> 64gb DDR5 4800) and wifi card (Realtek RTL8852BE -> Intel AX210) I recommend doing a re-installation of windows out of the box, as I did run into a driver issue during the first week (White artifacts and glitching in display) that was resolved by reinstalling windows and updating the graphics drivers without installing AMD Adrenalin. (YMMV)

What an amazing value! I got an open box for a good discount and it was one of the best purchases ever! When I'm doimg daily tasks it has long battery life and easy use. When I am gaming, I can get really decent performance in any title! 1920x1200 display - rx7700s graphics on a 16in display is phenomenal. During gaming of course, you'll want to keep it plugged in like every other laptop, and it can get pretty warm, but it has never been an issue or problem for me. It is hands down the best laptop you can get for its price- just as long as it stays under the $800 price-point.

Overall I don’t regret this purchase at all. It feels pretty hot under load but internal temps usually stay reasonably stable(usually 82c or less in my AC’d apartment). I wouldn’t want to game on this outside unless it’s very cool out. I also use a laptop fan which definitely helps. The fan is LOUD when it’s under full load but that’s the same with most gaming laptops. I had tons of issues with my SSD after a 24H2 update that caused endless blue screens. I ended up switching the SSD and it’s fine now. Appears a new update may have fixed the issue with the original SSD but I don’t trust it as a boot drive anymore and use it as a secondary SSD. GPU more or less has the performance of an RTX 4060. Battery life isn’t very good unless you keep the GPU off with the MUX switch, even then I would say you have maybe 4-6 hours tops depending on what you’re doing. I wish the display had more nits, can be hard to see the screen if you are in a bright area.

This laptop works even better than my last one! It’s speed is immaculate, the graphics switch based on how strong something is being processed, making it faster, it doesn’t drain battery life while charging, it’s lightweight, and it feels as great as my last computer in terms of my OG accessibility. Massive recommend.

Only thing I dont like really is how hot the exhaust can feel, not that its unreasonable, just in my own head I'm like "That's hot." But it runs perfect, feels nice/looks nice, offers a wide range of performance tools you can use to better fit your use of the laptop. Im new to PC so for me this Laptop does everything I need, plays the games I want to and hasn't given me any problems, solid laptop.

Picked up this laptop for my son who's heading of to college. As a gamer, he loves it. It handles everything he's thrown at it. As a dad, I'm glad to see a great value tired to a great brand, quality build, and room enough in the specs to provide longevity for his academic needs. Definitely recommend this model. As a side note, the pickup process at Best Buy after buying online was super smooth and simple.

The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 is a beast — lightning-fast Ryzen 7 processor, powerful Radeon graphics, and a smooth 165Hz display make every game run flawlessly. The 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD keep everything quick and responsive. Built solid, with a sleek design that feels premium. Perfect for gaming and heavy multitasking!

I’ve been using this laptop for about a week now, and I can confidently say it was the right choice. The performance and design are both impressive. It handles everyday tasks, remote work, streaming, and even light gaming with ease. The keyboard is comfortable, the screen is crisp and bright, and the fan is incredibly quiet—perfect for working in a quiet environment. BestBuy's ordering process was smooth, shipping was fast, and the packaging was secure. I’m genuinely satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it!

Very good for the price, can play many games like warframe and 7 days to dies on ultra settings 1080p, newer games may need yo be bumped down but great quality for the price. Very very loud when playing on max performance, gets very hot at times, overall great product

I had been wanting a gaming computer for awhile and picked this up on sale. One of my favorite games to play is American Truck Simulator. Prior to getting this laptop I was playing it on a 13 inch 2021 model MacBook Pro. It isn’t the most graphically intensive game and the Mac was able to run it, but on lower settings. When I got this laptop and player American Truck Simulator tor the first time, being able to play on max graphics settings with zero framerate drops was such a breath of fresh air. Since then I’ve played a few other games such as Fallout 4 and GTA V, and this laptop runs both of them flawlessly. The only game I’ve seen it struggle with was Train Sim World 5. Another review said it could run Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk, which I haven’t tried myself, but I’m sure it can. This laptop is also easy to upgrade. It has an additional SSD and RAM slot. So I added a 1 TB SSD (in addition to the original 500 gb) and another RAM stick, for a total of 32 gb. Overall this laptop was an amazing purchase and I would recommend it to anyone.

Just bought this for my daughter and so far, it's awesome. Very quick and actually seems nicer than I was expecting based on some comments about build quality. It's super quick and a great value. The online purchase and pickup was great as well. I was in and out in under 5 minutes.

Really pleased with the performance of this machine. I got it on sale for $750 and bought 32gb RAM & 2TB SSD (also both on sale) to build a really impressive machine for just under $1k total. The next comparable rig has a price tag closer to $2k. Incredible value for the money. I'm a novice at all things gaming, but this was very quick and easy to upgrade myself. I've never had a machine that ran this quickly, smoothly, or quietly. This laptop is also a beast for post production photo editing. I don't think I could be more pleased with this purchase.

It is a great laptop for the money paid. Honestly, I was expecting a lot less. The battery life is awesome. The processing power is just right. The keyboard is soft and not noisy at all.

I use this laptop for both work and gaming. It's a beast! It is a bit heavy, but I love every other feature about it and totally am okay with that to get a great laptop. It is loud when it's working hard, but that's not the worst either. The battery pack gets warm, but the laptop itself stays within a reasonable heat, even when working hard.

Good laptop with good performance but week battery life. But when pluged in it performance very good you can say it is a power hungry beast that needs constant food to keep performing well.the display is good but the brightness could have been better.

All around excellent! I like having the ability to have 2 separate hard drives. Upgrading this to two is fairly easy with a search for instructions. I use hard drive for the OS and the other for all data. This allows me to upgrade or even completely wipe and reinstall the OS while preserving all my data on the second drive. Also, the laptop supports up to 64GB of ram which is more than enough. For the price, the performance this machine offers is second to none.

Over all a good value laptop for the price. Powerful. Cool and quiet. Runs any game I tested, at mostly high settings 60+ fps. A few miner things Asus needs work on. The Bluetooth randomly disconnecting. Taking a 15 second break than going back to noromal. (Could just be my unit). Not fun in heated multiplayer matches. And the GPU buzzing sound, whenever a graphicaly demanding game was being played. Note it would get quieter after the game was on a bit. I'm sure some or all this can be worked out threw future updates to the BIOS GPU etc. It's a very nice laptop though. Especially on a sale. And a good upgrade for anyone. Looking for that fps settings boost. Without spending 1.5 or 2 k. I even had some raytracing on in certain titles. (The Finals) And it will do 120 fps gaming. Just runs a lot hotter.

So far this gaming laptop has been solid! I play Battlefield 4, Counter Strike with no lag. My son plays Fortnite and Roblox constantly with no problems. I bought a nice laptop cooler for it because it runs hot in games. I would buy again.

Item came in good condition like new, performance has been good no issues so it was a good deal, computer is good and feels solid, brand interface is good and user friendly, battery life is also decent when not on performance mode and ventilators manage heat well so it stays cool
