Our take on the ASUS TUF Gaming A16 16 FHD+ 165Hz Gaming Laptop

The ASUS TUF Gaming A16 is a 16-inch gaming laptop with a 165Hz FHD+ matte display, an AMD Ryzen AI 9 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 with 8GB of graphics memory. It pairs 16GB or 32GB of DDR5 RAM with a 1TB SSD and runs Windows 11 Home. It is built for high-refresh gaming and heavier everyday work rather than portability, and it lacks a touchscreen, fingerprint reader and facial recognition.

Questions and answers

Is the RTX 5070 with 8GB enough for 1440p gaming?: The screen is FHD+, where the RTX 5070 handles most modern games at high settings. At 1440p on an external monitor, expect to lower textures or settings in demanding titles because of the 8GB of graphics memory.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?: The laptop supports up to 32GB of DDR5 memory, so a 16GB model can be upgraded. The 1TB SSD can also be swapped for a larger drive.
Does it have a touchscreen or fingerprint reader?: No. The display is a non-touch matte panel, and there is no fingerprint reader or facial recognition, so you sign in with a password or PIN.
What ports does it have?: It has an HDMI output for an external monitor. Check the full port list for USB and Ethernet before buying if you need specific connections.
Is it good for school and office work?: Yes. The Ryzen AI 9 and 16GB or 32GB of RAM handle browsing, documents and light editing easily. It is heavier than a typical student laptop, so carrying it daily is a trade-off.
