Full HD Gamer with insane battery life - Asus TUF A16 AMD-Advantage Review

12 hours of battery life ... in a gaming laptop? Yepp, you heard that right. The Asus TUF A16 delivers a solid 1080p gaming experience while lasting insanely long away from the wall. AMD might not break any performance records with their midrange silicon this time, but did they ever work on efficiency this year.

I like the fact that Asus ditched the hideous glowing WASD. Now it looks more like a laptop and less than a candy bar.

[@NotebookcheckReviews]

Ha true, I already forget about those! 😅

[@TabalugaDragon]

if they also add full size arrow keys I'll actually consider buying one. I use those in gaming quite often.

[@DrivingCentre0]

@@TabalugaDragon just get external keyboard for that

[@TabalugaDragon]

@@DrivingCentre0 I already have external keyboard at home. I'm talking about gaming on the go, am I supposed to carry an external keyboard everywhere just for occasional racing games because a laptop manufacturer didn't bother to make full size arrow keys on a GAMING laptop? Arrows are used in many games, so making them tiny and squished in a gaming laptop is just stupid and anti-consumer.

[@DrivingCentre0]

@@TabalugaDragon oh. well in that case, check out rog strix laptops like the g15. those have the bigger kind of arrow keys

[@TotallyNotEvil910]

The best thing about this model is how it feels smart. It not only cut the corners that it should, but it cut them in a very deliberate, measured manner. The screen isn't the brightest, but it's bright enough. On the other hand, the color gamut is wide, it's shockingly well calibrated, and the refresh rate is more than good enough. The keyboard ain't Cherry ultra low profile, but it's not bad. It's alright. Same for the touchpad. The speakers are mediocre, but everyone uses headphones with laptops anyway. The GPU has a crucial 8 GB of VRAM, meaning it's not about to choke on the resolutions it's intended for like a certain other manufacturer's newest models. It's plenty fast enough for 1080p gaming- we are talking 60+ fps on Cyberpunk *while maxed out*! That's considerable horsepower. And the CPU, again, it's not the groundbreaking Dragon Range that can beat a latest gen 260W desktop i7, but it's *good enough*. This is not far from good desktop chips like the i9 11900 or i5 12600 or Ryzen 7 5800 or Ryzen 5 7600, and those are CPUs that will be plenty powerful for many years to come. Of course, the star of the show, twelve bloody hours of battery life. It's not the lighest, but you'd probably pay a dollar for every gram you shave off of it- would you rather pay another two hundred dollars for two hundred fewer grams? I wouldn't. And the more or less the same goes for the thickness- it's a bit chonky, but it's a far cry from the 4~5 cm thick chonkers that were common not too long ago. Would you pay a thousand dollars to shave off a centimeter of height? Again, I wouldn't. We don't know the price, but knowing how AMD systems are priced, and the mid-rangeness of it all, I'm going to guess something like 1200 USD? A great product, that delivers the most where it counts, and will deliver plenty of performance for years to come. As long as the price follows the previous trends, it's going to do all that for a value average people can actually afford. That's how you should do engineering. You make the right compromises. This is a modern, mid-range desktop computer- which, by today's standards, means it slays nearly anything you care to throw at it on 1080p- that you can carry on your backpack without trouble, that you can use all day long for day-to-day tasks and you are probably only going to pay a slight premium for this wondrous ability.

[@NotebookcheckReviews]

Yepp, these TUF models are indeed very well put together midrange options.

[@littlebelowski]

Awesomely summarized-- I too think this year's TUF line looks great especially this AMD version. AMD advantage is certainly underrated!

[@EpicBunty]

dude left his own review in the comment section of a review video (and it was actually good)

[@glitchparallax4215]

I'm just curious: Does it heat up a lot when let's say I'm playing a game while I'm charging it?

[@EpicBunty]

bro most laptops will get hot when performing at max, and that is part of the spec, as long as they don't throttle. if they are throttling, then its a model you shouldn't go for. but if its a beefy CPU and a strong GPU and they are pushing at max but are only 90C (which is below throttle limits... at least for the CPU) then that is what you want. it will get hot, but if you are able to get the max performance out of your machine which is in the spec then thats the most important thing. @@glitchparallax4215

@@NotebookcheckReviews I’m eyeing that 4060 model, the 4080 is far too expensive and the 4060 seems to get just as good as performance as a last gen 3070 even though it doesn’t touch the 3070ti.

[@guilhermecastro3035]

Hey, I’m currently picking a laptop to buy. I was thinking of this exact one, with 1TB for 1313,77€ on my country. But I have two more in mind. They are: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 2023 FA507NV-LP041 AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS/16GB/1TB SSD/RTX 4060/15.6" 144hz, for 1278,15€ Or Asus ROG Strix G15 G513RM-HQ012 AMD Ryzen 7 6800H/16GB/1TB SSD/RTX3060/15.6" 165hz, for 1217,16€ In between these 3, what should I get? For the prices, could you help me decide what is the best choice?

[@cacakuris]

I am in the same boat - have been looking at this and the Strix G15 you mentioned, only for me the price difference is 50 Euros (A16 is the more expensive one). If you are going for raw performance, I think the the A15 would be the best option. The A16 though has a bigger screen and better battery life. The Strix is also a solid option.

[@NotebookcheckReviews]

Have you seen our review of the A15 yet? www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-TUF-Gaming-A15-laptop-review-A-budget-gamer-with-an-RTX-4050-and-a-144-Hz-screen.725720.0.html Our sample came with an RTX4050 but should help with battery life, screen quality, and all. If you want the best performance in this price range, I would probably get the A15 with the 4060 ... The G15 will also be a great option, but it has a significantly bigger and bulkier chassis.

[@AdamsOyifi]

Do you think the high end SKU of this laptop can compete with a 4070 laptop (i.e 7940HS + 7700S)?

[@NotebookcheckReviews]

We can not say for sure since we haven't tested the 7700S yet!

[@mrspoon114]

The 7700s is within 1% (above or below in certain games) of the rtx 4060, the 4070 will outperform in nearly every situation

[@mhmdfouany6696]

Can it give 240 fps with an external monitor ??

[@jeevesee__]

Why is mine running at 85 degrees Celsius? Someone help me please

[@ltakethisl3313]

It gets very hot. I have a 7700s and mine also got very hot even when I wasn’t doing anything it got like 60c. The only solution I found was getting the llano laptop cooler. It’s $100 but it’s really good. It dropped my temperature to 20c. The only downsides is that it’s really loud.

[@BigBoss92pl]

Which one is a better choice ASUS TUF Gaming A16 with rx 7600s or ASUS TUF Gaming A15 with rtx 4050?

[@oakah6373]

7600s outperforms the RTX 4050 in almost all use cases. Unless ray tracing matters to you

[@mrspoon114]

Only thing you’d be missing is frame generation from Dlss 3, other than that the 7600s is closer to a 4060

[@Cjsolares]

excellent video. I would like to know who can help me, I am about to buy a laptop and I am between an asus a16 with amd 7600s or an asus zephyrus m16 with an rtx 360

[@r_turner]

Whats up with 1080p 165hz panels this year from many brands . if your going with 1080p , they should be matched with 240hz or 300hz . which were offerred by previous gen

[@NotebookcheckReviews]

I personally don't mind since you can not even reach 240Hz, even with some very high-end configs, unless you sacrifice image quality. And I would even say that most "casual" or even enthusiast gamers do not really "need" anything above 165 Hz. - Alex

I want to conect a external monitor on tuf a16, should i use hdmi 2.1 or usb c 4 for displayport ports? Will the The freesyn work?

[@NotebookcheckReviews]

That depends a lot on your monitor. Usually, DisplayPort gives you more flexibility with higher refresh rates unless your screen has an HDMI 2.1 as well. Freesync should work through either as long as your external monitor supports it!

[@NotebookcheckReviews]

I only experimented with Unreal Engine a bit, but I know you want as much GPU performance as possible. And I think, generally speaking, NVIDIA cards are a bit more optimized for UE(5)
