I bought this so I could keep up with frame rates of my favorite games. In all, I got it on sale and it does a great job for me. Good product and great resolution for new games.

Setup was easy and bloatware was relatively light. As others have mentioned, it's best to uninstall McAfee right away to rely on Windows Defender, then replace Armory Crate with G-Helper (same function, smaller load on the computer). I didn't see much else for unnecessary addons. The 16GB RAM was a bit disappointing with no option to upgrade, but the blessing is that ASUS designs their laptops in a way that makes it EXTREMELY easy to upgrade RAM + SSD which is why I opted for their brand. Strongly recommend getting 32GB to make for an even better experience. It does make a big difference when gaming or multi tasking. The laptop handles games well and, unlike some gaming laptops, doesn't sound like a jet taking off under load. It does run pretty warm, so don't keep it on your lap. Get a lap desk to allow the laptop to breath and protect your legs.

It's perfect for your work and gaming as long as you keep it in a fresh place, works pretty good and the materials are of good quality

I've always been a bit of an Asus fan going back to the Core 2 days, and I've always liked their gaming laptops going back to the G74SX. I'm extremely pleased with these TUF rigs as well. They might have a little less flair than some of their other offerings such as the Strix series, but I don't mind that much. I'm kind of take it or leave it when it comes to all the RGB stuff. What I really like about these TUF series rigs are that they do feel quite solid while offering good specs, but don't cost an arm and a leg. It's also very easy to do the usual HD and RAM upgrades. Socketed DIMMS do make me happy. The display is really good, surprisingly good, to be honest. Excellent brightness with great color and a wide viewing angle. The CPU is a beast, which is what you expect from the Ryzen chips. The iGPU is a little weak, but that what the dGPU is for. I like the Armory Crate software, but it is very bloaty. I quickly switched over to G-Helper. The battery performance is pretty darn good for general web wandering out video use if you dial things back and turn off the dGPU. And it isn't horrible with light gaming through the Nvidia chip. It gets pretty toasty when running flat out, but that's pretty standard for these thinner rigs. However, the system was never uncomfortable to use even with its guts running hot. The fans are loud, but not completely obnoxious. It has a decent selection of ports and the WiFi is great. Which brings me to the downsides of the laptop. The sound is... Well, it's there. It's not horrible, but it sure isn't anything to write home about. Pretty much standard for laptops these days, but I still need to mention it. The one major letdown, and this is no fault of Asus, but a product of Nvidia's habit of playing games with their GPU labeling. The mobile 4070 kind of sucks, if I'm being honest. It would probably be appropriate to call it a 4060 Ti rather than a 4070. My previous laptop ran a fully juiced mobile 2070 Super. While the RT performance is considerably better on the 4070, the general performance over the older chip is kind of meh. It is better, of course, but it sure doesn't feel 2 generations better. On the other hand, going with a rig running a 4080 involves a significant upward jump in price. Even moreso with a 4090 rig. If your primary focus is on gaming, I would strongly suggest going with a 4080 rig if you can afford the premium price bump that comes with it. Again, this is no fault of Asus's. This issue falls entirely in Nvidia's lap. If you remember the GTX 10 series and the crap they pulled with the GTX 1060 3GB and 6 GB models. The 3 GB model wasn't just a downgrade in VRAM capacity, the GPU was cut down from the 6GB model. Unfortunately, you wouldn't have known that without taking the time to compare their specifications line by line, or spent a good bit of time watching benchmark reviews. That's not to say the 4070 mobile is garbage. It still is a very capable GPU. It just doesn't feel like an Nvidia XX70 rated GPU. It also would have been nice if they had given it a few extra gigabytes of VRAM. At the time of writing this, it isn't a deal breaker with the 8 gigs of GDDR6 of VRAM it does have. Unfortunately, the day that 10 or 12 gigs of VRAM become a minimum requirement. Also would have been nice had they given it the extra memory bandwidth that almost always comes with XX70 GPUs instead of the halved bandwidth of the XX50 and XX60 models. All that aside, this really is a great laptop for the price. Built like a tank and very solid feeling, without feeling or looking like a boat anchor. Keyboard with excellent key switches. Good battery life under general use. Fantastic display. Excellent and powerful processor. Solid selection of I/O ports. Pretty good cooling setup. And finally, a very good dGPU that could/should have been much better if Nvidia just would have let it breath a little easier with a bit more memory bandwidth. Definitely can recommend it if a RTX 4080 equipped rig is more than you can or want to spend on a mobile gaming rig.

This laptop with the 4070 runs basically every modern game with 60+fps with no problem. The only issue is it tends to run hot but tweaking the fan settings and getting an external fan solves everything. Really happy and would recommend

My grandson is very happy with his computer. He issues it for college everday. He was so pleased that when he had an accident with this computer he could of gotten a different one but he purchased the same computer. Great product! Don't forget to purchase the insurance.. u never know.

excelente producto!

I’ve had the Asus TUF Gaming A16 for a while now, and unfortunately, it has been a disappointing experience overall. Here’s my breakdown: Performance The performance is underwhelming for a gaming laptop. I tried running Street Fighter 5, and it lagged heavily. The laptop also stutters significantly when using a second screen, which makes multitasking frustrating. Display The display is one of the few positives. It looks great, and the high refresh rate provides smooth visuals, which I appreciate. Build Quality The laptop is big and heavy, made of plastic. While it looks decent for a gaming laptop—sleek and simple—it feels sturdy. However, the touchpad feels cheap and poorly designed. After just one month, the touchpad stopped working correctly, and attempts to fix it (driver reinstallations, OS resets) have failed, pointing to a hardware issue. Additionally, the LED indicators are confusing and not intuitive. Thermals This laptop is incredibly noisy out of the box, and it runs unnecessarily hot, even during moderate tasks. Battery Life The battery life is as expected for a gaming laptop—around two hours at best. However, switching between performance modes is a hassle, as it requires a restart for some GPU settings. Keyboard and Touchpad The keyboard is okay, though I could live without the function buttons on top. The touchpad is a major disappointment. It worked initially but began malfunctioning after a month, and now it’s unreliable. Ports The laptop offers all the ports I need. Software and Setup This is where the laptop completely falls apart. It comes pre-installed with McAfee, which is more of a nuisance than a feature. Worse, I encountered blue screen crashes from day two of ownership, likely due to driver conflicts between the integrated and dedicated GPUs. Fixing these issues has been a nightmare, and the experience has made me wish I had bought something more stable and user-friendly—like a Mac. This laptop has drained hours of my time just for basic configurations. Value for Money I regret this purchase. It does not feel worth the price I paid, given the poor performance and reliability issues. Recommendation I would strongly advise against buying this laptop. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, especially not to loved ones. If anything, I’d wish this laptop upon my enemies so they too could experience the frustration of dealing with it.
