- Is 96 GB of RAM overkill for gaming?
- Yes for most games, which rarely use more than 16 to 32 GB. The extra RAM matters for virtual machines, large video projects and heavy multitasking.
- Is the 1920x1200 screen sharp enough for 16 inches?
- It is fine for gaming and everyday use, but text and fine detail look less crisp than on a 2560x1600 panel. The 165Hz refresh rate is the bigger draw.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage later?
- TUF A16 models generally allow RAM and SSD upgrades, but this configuration already ships with 96 GB and 8 TB total storage, so upgrades are unlikely to be needed.
- How does it compare with the previous TUF A16?
- The Ryzen 9 8940HX is a newer, faster chip than earlier TUF A16 processors. The chassis and 165Hz screen carry over largely unchanged.
- Is $4,429 a good price?
- It is the only new price listed, at Newegg as of November 7, 2026, so there is no competing quote to compare. Much of the cost is the 96 GB RAM and 8 TB of storage.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop, its power adapter and standard paperwork. A second 4 TB drive is included in this configuration.
- Where is the ASUS TUF A16 Gaming Laptop 16" 96 GB 4 TB + 4 TB cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $4,429.00, as of our latest check.
