Customer Ratings & Reviews

This gaming computer meets the minimum requirements for 100% of today’s games. Screen is sharp and detailed. Framerates are good, and it takes only about an hour to set up upon opening (there are a LOT of driver and bios updates). Keyboard is clicky and responsive. Keys are small, but still feel adequate for productivity as well as gaming. Plenty of inputs for all your peripherals. For all its premium feel, the fact it doesn’t use a magnetic attachment for the charging seems like a huge misstep. Instead it uses a custom port, even worse, as that makes replacing a headache. Fortunately usbC charging is available, although slower. Really the only downside is the much maligned rtx5070 gpu. While it services today’s games well enough, its 8GB vram barely meets the minimum of AAA titles today. There is no reason why a 12gb vram wasn’t used. As such, this will only have a useful life of two, maybe 3 years tops before being woefully inadequate. This can most plainly be felt in busy games like Doom the Dark Ages. You have a screen of demons and the game starts to have frame drops. The DLSS frame generation helps to mitigate that, but it’s still a stutter. Otherwise it’s a great pc. The AI of copilot is seamlessly integrated, webcam is great and the build quality is superb. Gets plenty hot, so have a cooling platform or table if you want your legs to not be fried like bacon. Definitely will get a student through highschool or 4 years of college.

I’m very impressed with this laptop. The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 delivers outstanding performance thanks to the Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 5070 GPU. It runs modern games smoothly on high settings and the 165Hz display makes a big difference, especially in fast-paced and competitive games. The 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD make everything feel extremely fast. Boot times are quick, programs open instantly, and multitasking is effortless. It’s not only great for gaming but also for productivity, streaming, and everyday use. Build quality is solid and the TUF design feels durable. Cooling is also very good, keeping temperatures under control even during long gaming sessions. Overall, this is a powerful and reliable gaming laptop with excellent specs for the price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a strong gaming and multitasking machine.

Perfect for gaming, i’ve owned it for a while now and i havent seen any issues, can easily handle every modern game there currently is due to the GPU, the only downside i feel is that the bottom frame is plastic (albeit durable) while the frame behind the screen is metal, my previous laptops had issues with plastic frames and bodies cracking from prolonged use, that is my only issue with this beautiful beast, i would have much prefered if the body was fully metal. Except that this laptop is certainly a beast.

Another great product from ASUS! I have an older (about 7 years old) ASUS gaming laptop and still use it regularly. It has stood up to aging very well. When I started looking for a replacement, this one came up and seemed to tick all the checkboxes. The keyboard is very comfortable and the backlighting is adjustable so if you have a dimly lit room, it is not going to glare in your face! It also has the WASD keys in a more transparent material, so they stand out while gaming without having to concentrate on them. The screen is pretty amazing also, it has very good lighting and goes clear out to the edges, allowing the bezel to be very thin all the way around. For a 16" screen, the laptop is actually smaller than my older 15.6"! With the high refresh rate, it provides clear, flicker-free gaming even at high resolutions that the RTX 5070 provides in my games. I haven't noticed the laptop getting as hot as my older machines, even with settings turned up very high - I think they have figured out how to get enough air through the body to keep things cool. There are all the normal ports and connections you might expect and the shape of the machine allows them to be used as well. With the entire back edge full of vents, all the ports have to be on the sides but ASUS has positioned them in just the right places. Sometimes, I wonder how some companies thought putting a USB port clear out at the front on the side so you are bumping the plug while trying to use a mouse was a good idea but ASUS didn't do any of that. The ports are set back far enough to be out of the way of everything you need to do. The huge power brick is pretty hefty, since it delivers enough power to run this beast. It is in the middle of a nice long cable, so it can be tucked under the desk and away from any other sources of heat. Hopefully, it will last a long time, like my old ASUS has. I am looking forward to trying more games and see what this thing can really do, it has impressed me so far and I am looking forward to playing a few I have held off on because of the advanced age of my old machine. If you can find it on sale, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this machine to anyone looking for a portable yet capable gaming rig. It is nice to be able to sit in my comfy chair and play games instead of hiding in the game room away from everyone!

great laptop! got lucky to be able to purchase at sale discount, been playing elden ring and divinity 2 at ultra and smooth, this is a replacement for my desktop pc. and couldn't be happier. Recomend

Well rounded gaming laptop. Great portability and performance. The laptop does get a bit hot and loud when gaming but nothing excessive or obnoxious.

The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 has been an impressive machine right out of the box. It’s fast and responsive, handling everyday tasks with ease. Whether I’m multitasking or running demanding applications, the laptop doesn’t slow down. I can play my favorite titles at top settings without compromise. The graphics are smooth, frame rates are stable, and the overall experience feels premium. One of the features I’m most excited about is the built-in NPU. I plan to set up local AI workloads to see how it performs, which makes this laptop feel future-ready beyond just gaming. The laptop’s size lands right in the middle of what I wanted—not too bulky, but not ultra-compact either. It strikes a good balance between portability and screen real estate. The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 is a versatile powerhouse. It excels at gaming, feels snappy for productivity, and offers intriguing potential for AI experimentation. For me, it hits the sweet spot between performance and practicality.

It’s extremely good would really recommend, it has 32 gbs of ram for this price it’s perfect and a 5070 build quality is decent the shell is made with hard plastic that feels premium and not cheap in anyway it’s thin, portable, and the battery is quite good, only down side is it’s 1920x1200 but it actually feels like 2.5k great IPs screen overall with the best screen reflection coating. Overall conclusion for what you’re getting for the price it’s the best in the market. The delivery came within 2 days with no delays it came at exactly what it said on the website

I got this on sale, and it is one of the best laptops I have ever bought. One of the best CPUs, Higher end graphics, good size, bright even display, and good battery life. It plays games without issue. I read, surf the internet, write or do spreadsheets on battery power for hours. ASUS really put together a winner here.

This computer is very fast an the display is comfortable to use. I didn't have the opportinuty to really challenge it yet but for day to day performance, everything is done within a few seconds. The cooling system is very efficient too.

The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 delivers excellent performance with its Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 5070, and the 165Hz display looks smooth and vibrant. The cooling system works really well, even during long sessions, and the build feels solid and durable. Audio is clear, load times are fast, and overall it’s a reliable, powerful laptop for both gaming and everyday use.

I bought this for my son as he headed off to the military. The performance and speed is what he needed. He is absolutely satisfied as he has a laptop powerful enough for him to game with his buddies.

Love this laptop! Design is great, sleek and easy to take wherever you may go with it. More than capable to do editing, gaming, or whatever else you might do with it. Very pleased with my purchase

This gaming laptop is an absolute beast! From the moment we powered it on, you could tell it was built for performance. The setup was quick and easy, and everything ran smooth right out of the box. The graphics are incredible—games look sharp, fast, and super immersive. No lag, no issues, just straight-up performance. It handles everything we throw at it, from gaming to everyday use, without breaking a sweat. The keyboard is a huge win too—responsive, comfortable, and the lighting adds that cool gaming vibe. You can tell this was designed with gamers in mind.

I've had this laptop for almost a month now, and I absolutely love it. This is my first gaming laptop but the last laptop I had was an ASUS. The cooling system works very well, my laptop had never once gone 90 or more. However, the cooling system can be loud. But its pretty common for gaming laptop to have loud fans. I had a slight issue with the keyboard lighting not working when the laptop turned on, but one small setting change fixed it easily. Overall, great laptop and it works nicely!

I purchased this laptop in December 2025 and it has been amazing. It is so fast, well built, and has had no issues with any games or high intensity programs.

First time user of AMD processor. I always had intel processor but decided to go with AMD this time. I am happy it works fast. I am a big fan of ASUS gaming laptops it has beautiful design and great quality. I would recommend it.

This computer as run everything I’ve need it to from ark survival ascended to Minecraft I love the compactness of it and how it’s easy to take on the go

I bought this machine to game while traveling. So far, it is running my games perfectly and has exceeded my expectation for its performance. It is a HEAVY and LARGE laptop.

Runs smooth, battery life is good, great quality. Never had a problem using it and it always turns on in like 5 seconds. Face ID is valid and works more often than not. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to play PC games with high resolution and no lag.
