Coming from my last laptop, this ASUS TUF laptop blows it away and it was a very reputable brand but in comparison, that would have been corvette and this would be a Lamborghini! The dark sleek lines and stealthy look.. looks like you would see in a top action movie sequence like Mission Impossible haha. I absolutely love the multicolor backlit keyboard against the dark framed body. Coming from 8gb to now having four times that this has with having 32 gigabytes makes doing everything feel like I'm in hyperdrive. Everything runs smooth even when running multiple programs with heavy demand. The clarity and vibrant colors from the screen are brilliant. With being a 16 inch display area it's the perfect size where 14 may be a little small and 18 inch makes for nice viewing are but more weight and size to carry for portability. This thing is a Beast! And one I think ill be using for quite a while. As I've said before my laptop reviews I don't do a whole lot of gaming on my laptops or personal computers. But working in photography pulling up multiple huge file sizes to work on them and also videography it puts high demand on the pc and this handled everything i threw at it like a champ! Would highly recommend

I want to separate my feelings about this laptop into two categories: The physical laptop and the performance of the hardware included. The physical laptop is exactly what I expect from a laptop designed for mainstream computer gaming: thicker and heavier than productivity laptops with a giant power brick that needs to remain plugged in at all times due to the power hungry GPU that needs lots of cooling, with ports galore to plug in my external mouse and joystick and headphones. This is the type of laptop you buy when you want to bring a computer to a friends house for an all day gaming session, not the laptop you take on a train or bus or a plane for casual computing. The Tuf series of laptops from Asus is designed for mainstream gaming with a eye on budget which means the laptop is heavy on plastic construction materials and is not using the top tier components, but I’ll come to that in a moment. Like the TUF name implies, this thing looks more utilitarian than flashy. That’s not a bad thing. The only thing I found odd about this physical laptop is the placement of the LED status lights. Typically when you open the laptop you have some type of small lights just below the center of the screen typically above the keyboard that are meant to convey details like hard drive activity, battery life, is the built in camera powered on, but for some reason Asus placed this status panel on the bottom panel of the laptop but behind the display. Opening the laptop display hides this status panel completely. Why even include a status light panel f you can’t see it when the laptop is in use? The laptop produces too much heat to use in clamshell mode so this placement just seems weird. Asus updated the power supply so that while it it still a giant brick, it uses a smaller connector to plug in, which seems to have allowed Asus to add an extra USB-A port to the side of the laptop. The extra port is appreciated. As to computing performance, this specific build is running the Nvidia RTX 5060 which is geared toward midrange 1080p gaming. You can find plenty of benchmarks online for this laptop GPU to determine if it’s powerful enough for your specific gaming needs. I’m a casual gamer so I find it performs well for the games I’m playing. I’m also old school and biased in that I think anyone serious about PC gaming should never buy a laptop and should always buy a desktop in a tower chassis that they can fill with the top tier components on the market and then swap them out every few years as the tech changes. I do appreciate the engineering marvel of being able to cram this much power into a smaller form factor of a laptop and it works for my use case, but this blend of components is very much in the lower end of the mid-tier gaming space. If that’s what you are looking for, this laptop is a good choice.

Good laptop, the computer is very nice, also the computer is speed and the screen looks good

I received the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 16" FHD+ 165Hz Gaming Laptop in Jaegar Gray. This seems to be a very well made gaming laptop. The rigidity of the metal lid is above average and the base is solid, you can easily open the lid with one hand. The top and side bezels are narrow while the bottom one is thick. The sizable touchpad is great and impressively smooth and accurate. On the bottom, the machine reveals three ventilation grills, many plastic and rubber feet, and two speaker cutouts. The heat is pushed through a long vent on the back. On the left, we can spot a power plug, LAN, HDMI 2.1 FRL, a 40 Gbps USB4 port with DisplayPort 2.1 functionality, followed by a 10Gbps USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port that supports DisplayPort 1.4, Power Delivery 3.0 (20V/5A) + G-SYNC, a 10 Gbps USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, and an Audio Combo jack. On the right, you get just one more 10 Gbps USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 2) port. The FHD+ 165Hz 16” panel is very nice, It's crisp, sharp and smooth. It has a decent refresh rate. The keyboard includes a NUM pad and is RGB backlit with highlighted WASD keys. HDR can be enabled for video streaming, but not for gaming. Storage is a 1TB SSD. The brightness is decent, the colors are good (not pro-caliber accurate, but good enough unless you’re grading film in DaVinci Resolve). And that matte finish kills glare. Win. High CPU clocks and power limits during heavy stress, Great “Performance” mode that offers 4.05 GHz / 3.15 GHz P and E-core clock and 95W GPU TGP + low noise levels, the RTX 4070 can maintain ~ 130W during gaming. Comfortable backlit keyboard + precise touchpad Long battery life. The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 is a good gaming machine. It has a solid chassis and very good input devices. The audio quality is also up to the standards. The hefty cooling is doing a great job when using the laptop for work or gaming. It is a multipurpose device for gaming, work, or entertainment. It has a high-res PWM-free IPS screen, long battery life, good comfort during full system loads, and a modern port selection.

So far this laptop has been great for my needs! The graphics and speed are awesome!

Asus is always a great choice and this is one more to add to the growing lineup. Here are my thoughts on this newest gaming laptop from them. Good: 1. So fast it is unbelievable. My boot time is 5 secs after turning it on. After logging in I am at my desktop almost instantly. 2. 165hz refresh makes the games, videos, and other moving objects smooth and almost blur free 3. Color gamut is great (not perfect) and gives a good blacks and whites without bleeding. When doing pictures, the colors were a little off. But, no laptop really is 100% accurate anyway. 4. Keyboard travel is nice and firm without being hard to type quickly. the reaction time is top notch as well. I am able to move around my games much easier with quicker stroke reaction. 5. Running video editing is smooth and very fast. rendering my 4k video that use to take 20-30 mins, now takes less than15. Bad: single zone color RGB. not a major thing, but it does hamper the readability of the WASD keys being the same color as the rest. Speaking of WASD keys, the fact that they are "clear" makes them hard to see the letters when the keyboard lights are on. For someone that is not a touch typist, it slows me down when I have look at my keys in that area to make sure I am hitting the right one when writing something. Ugly: 1.When connecting to my external monitor and using them both the laptop screen will flicker when using it in full screen mode (mostly on streaming videos). It does not seem to happen when only using the laptop screen alone. 2. The weird extra space in the back that adds 1" to the size of the laptop. I think it is for the heat dissipation, but this is only laptop that I own that has this on every model in last few years. I do enjoy using this, but I do have some issues with some the design choice. However, in the end it works as needed and is a step up from my former machine.

Runs every game ive thrown at it on high or ultra settings, i orignally bought an HP omen with a 5060 and ryzen 9 apu l, changed my mind and paid extra to get this one instead, great laptop overall ive never had any problems with Asus :-) great value!

Excellent laptop. I've been using it non-stop since I got it. If I were to have any complaints it would be the power cord is a little shorter than I would like but it doesn't hinder my use of the laptop.

Laptop looks and runs great. No problem setting it up and playing games.

It’s a great laptop for gaming and school work the performance is amazing and for the price is really good!
