Well-executed gaming/enthusiast laptop
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ASUS has done a lot right with the 2025 TUF Gaming A16 laptop. I've used quite a few gaming and enthusiast oriented laptops over the last few years but never anything from ASUS. I went into this review with certain expectations about the features and how well they would work. While the TUF Gaming A16 hasn't exactly shattered those expectations, ASUS has demonstrated what great execution of all of the best features from every brand can look like. #Unboxing and first impressions# The TUF Gaming A16 arrived in a pretty well-designed box. The box is hinged and double-walled, so you kinda flip it open to get to the laptop. There's plenty of protection for the laptop itself inside that box, so I wouldn't have any qualms about ordering this laptop for shipping vs picking up in store. The TUF Gaming A16 comes with a 240W power brick that has a detachable C13 power cable. The brick is actually much smaller than I'd expect for the power output, but it's definitely bigger than anything you'd get for a non-gaming laptop. The TUF A16 has a pretty slim design for a gaming laptop, though it trades this slim thickness with increased depth. The display is hinged about 3/4" before the rear of the laptop, presumably to provide for a better cooling solution under the hood. The whole laptop is plastic feeling, though it feels pretty high grade vs some of the other plastic chassis laptops I've used. There's very little flex while typing with the laptop propped on your lap, and no twisting flex either. The A16 feels very solid. I love the connectivity offered by the TUF A16 - there are 3 USB-A ports (2x 3.2 and 1x 2.0), 1 USB-C 3.2, 1 USB-C 4, a Ethernet port, and a headset jack. The Ethernet port, while only 1gbit rather than 2.5, is really easy to use vs those collapsible ones you often see on laptops. The TUF A16 also features a full HDMI 2.1 port for connecting to 4k 120hz TVs and monitors. #Using the A16 - General thoughts# Initial setup is pretty standard for a Windows 11 device these days. Just plug it in and power it on, then Microsoft walks you through everything and does any major updates before eventually letting you into the OS. I was impressed that the TUF A16 includes a Windows Hello Face compatible webcam, though it doesn't include a fingerprint reader. One of the first things I tested with the A16 was whether it could be charged via the USB ports. As someone who often carries a personal laptop with me when I go to work, being able to charge, even if slowly, via USB-C is important as it means I don't have to worry about carrying the big 240W brick. So far that capability has been hit or miss for me on gaming laptops. The TUF A16 does charge via USB-C, which is nice, though it does so only via the USB 3 port and not USB 4. That isn't a huge deal, but it does mean that if you have a Thunderbolt dock connected to this device you'll still need a separate charger. I can kinda see why this was chosen - USB4/TB portable docks that have passthrough charging are somewhat rare and expensive. USB-C 3.x portable docks are pretty inexpensive these days so if you can only charge with one, it makes sense for it to be the USB 3 port. Still, would be nice to have both. When using a 65W or 100W USB-C charger Windows gives you a notification that you're charging slowly, but it does provide more than enough power to actually charge the laptop battery while using it, though not for gaming. Performance in Windows is fantastic. The ASUS apps (Armoury Crate in particular) appear to be unobtrusive while still providing good value. Armoury Crate is a great dashboard for tracking resource usage and controlling features like Optimus. It makes it really easy to keep the dGPU powered down when on battery, giving this excellent battery life for a gaming laptop. Right now in Silent mode, with the screen at about 70% brightness, it's showing I have over 10 hours remaining at 87% charge. That's with at least an hour of typing and web browsing, including some youtube and Steam video trailer usage. Regardless of the performance mode (which can be done with a hotkey or in the Armoury Crate app), the TUF A16 is very snappy and quick within Windows. The 1200p 165hz display looks great, especially for an SDR only panel. #Using the A16 - Gaming# I was a little disappointed to find that the RTX 5070 laptop version only has 8GB of VRAM, but that's not ASUS's fault. I did what any PC gamer would do the first time they get access to a 50 series card, and installed CyberPunk 2077 to try out the new DLSS features. I also installed a few other games (Assetto Corsa Competizione and Overwatch 2) to get a feel for how it can handle less demanding games that require high native framerates. In CP2077, I was both impressed and disappointed with the TUF A16's 5070 GPU. The only disappointment is related to the limited 8GB VRAM - you aren't going to get good 1440p+ performance in most modern games should you connect the A16 to a monitor or TV. The FPS falls off a cliff once you hit that 8GB limitation. However, at 1200p, I was really impressed by the 5070 in this TUF laptop. I found that I can use either DLAA at 1200p with no ray tracing, or full path tracing with DLSS in Balanced mode. Thanks to the new Transformer model in DLSS4, these DLSS modes are fully usable even at 1080p/1200p and often look as good or better than native resolution. In ACC and Overwatch 2, the TUF A16 performs exactly as expected and confirms that this is a near perfect eSports laptop. In both games, you can easily exceed 120fps at 1200p resolution. Thanks to the 165hz 1200p display on this laptop, it's a perfect device for some Overwatch 2 while on the road. A final note on gaming performance: the cooling system on this laptop is fantastic. In the middle "Performance" mode, the laptop does not get terribly loud at all, and still offers decent performance (the GPU seems to get up to about 85W in this mode). Enabling Turbo mode lets the GPU go all the way to 115W sometimes and around 100W typically. At that speed it does get loud but it does not have the ear-splitting whine of some other thin-ish laptops I've used with similar power budgets. They have really done a great job with this setup, as even in Turbo mode it doesn't get much beyond 78 degrees C on the GPU. #Final thoughts# This is the best mid-range gaming laptop I've used. ASUS have done a great job of integrating their software in useful (rather than annoying) ways. It is really easy to switch the performance modes by hotkey, and it works reliably unlike some other models that I've used. It has good performance in the quieter fan modes, and fantastic performance with the Turbo setting enabled. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a good 1080/1200p gaming laptop that can be mild mannered any time you need it to.

Everything I'd want out of a gaming laptop
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, I haven't come up with a single thing I dislike about this gaming laptop other than maybe Armoury Crate being a little clunky. Everything else is good. The screen is pretty high quality, and while it's not an OLED, I feel like it doesn't really need to be one on a gaming laptop. The keyboard RGB is compatible with Windows Dynamic Lighting, which I really appreciate; while the keyboard itself feels responsive and isn't too mushy. The machine is very easy to open, and if you do, you'll find that the RAM is upgradeable and that there's a second NVMe slot you can use to upgrade the storage. You can even swap out the Wi-Fi card if you're so inclined. At 16 inches, this laptop is big enough to feel reasonable for gaming but small enough to fit in most laptop bags without having to go out of your way to find something custom-made to fit. I haven't had any issues with the charger being loose and falling out of the laptop while I'm using it. The drivers have also been absolutely rock-solid - I haven't experienced a single crash. The touchpad is reasonably responsive, and hasn't given me any reason to hate using it so far. While the computer is heavier than most laptops, as you'd expect from a gaming laptop, it doesn't weigh so much that it's absolutely miserable to transport. It's also able to keep itself cool really well - I can keep it in my lap while gaming and it doesn't sear my thighs off. It's totally possible to engineer a machine that looks good on paper but handles like absolute garbage, so let's talk about the actual gaming performance. This is also good. It handles old games such as Borderlands 2 without a problem, no weird driver glitches or anything else. As for newer games, like Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, it... also doesn't have an issue with those. Of course, for really demanding games you can't really crank the graphics settings all the way up to maximum. Cyberpunk 2077 will be pretty unhappy with maximum settings on this laptop, for example. However, the important thing is, it can run everything I've thrown at it good enough that I don't really feel like I have to compromise between frame rate and quality. There isn't a single game so far where I feel like I've had to put up with it looking bad to get it to run at a reasonable framerate. Honestly, the only stumbling block this machine has had so far is VR, and I'm pretty sure that's just because VR tends to be a VRAM hog and trying to run a VR headset on less than 12 GB of VRAM is just generally a dumb idea. I have zero complaints about this machine. I love it. I'm pretty sure this is my favorite gaming laptop I've ever used. It looks good, it feels good, it's not totally impractical, it's got ports aplenty, and the nice specs on paper are backed up by real performance. If you do laptop gaming, get one of these. It's just *good*.
