Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition FA617NS-N3085W 7735HS Notebook 40.6 cm (16in) WUXGA AMD Ryzen 7 16 GB DDR5-SDRAM 512 GB SSD AMD Radeon RX 7600S
ASUS TUF GAMING A16 ADVANTAGE EDITION MECHANIZED ENDURANCE. ALLIED ADVANTAGE. PERFORMANCE AAA ADVANTAGE Jump right into the action with the TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition. Stream and multitask with ease thanks to the latest AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU and up to 32GB of blisteringly fast 4800MHz DDR5 RAM on Windows 11. Leverage the full gaming performance of up to a AMD Radeon RX 7700S GPU with AMD Smart Access Graphics. When your game library gets full, an empty M.2 NVMe SSD slot makes upgrading storage capacity a breeze. Higher power limits allow the CPU and GPU to boost higher for longer, squeezing the absolute most performance out of your machine and ensuring you have highest framerates possible. MUX Switch Smart - Access Graphics AMD Smart - Access Graphics technology makes the most of every frame by automating switching between integrated and discrete graphics or gives you full manual control with a dedicated MUX switch. Smart - Shift Smart - Shift is a dynamic boosting algorithm trained by machine learning that allows the CPU and GPU to automatically allocate power on the fly. Smart Access Memory Smart Access Memory gives the CPU access to the entirety of the GPU’s VRAM rather than small chunks, reducing latency and improving performance. Smart - Shift RSR The Smart - Shift RSR allows the dedicated GPU to render a frame at a lower resolution, then upscale the frame with the integrated graphics for improved frame rates. MORE MULTITASKING Up to 32GB of dual-channel DDR5-4800 memory makes everything from multitasking to multimedia rendering run fast and smooth. High-performance RAM lets you switch between gaming, streaming, and web browsing seamlessly. Keep focused and keep active with no slowdowns in sight. EXPANDABLE STORAGE Games and apps load fast on the nimble NVM Express (NVMe ) SSD. Speedier load times for all your programs means you can spend less time waiting and more time gaming. Take your must-play titles on the go with up to 2TB of PCIe Gen4 storage, or add a second drive via the open M.2 SSD slot and make terabytes of space for a complete collection. Game. Stream. Create. The TUF Gaming A16 is built from the ground up for gamers — and, of course, game developers. The A16 can run all of the latest game engines, enabling you to unlock your creativity and try your hand at making something new. Whether you’re a digital artist, streamer, video editor, or dabble with animation and game development, the A16 has all the horsepower you need to take your creations to the next level. DISPLAY Sink into the scene Never lose track of the action thanks to an immersive 16-inch panel with narrow bezels and a huge 90% screen-to-body ratio. Even in frenetic titles, the QHD 240Hz and FHD 165Hz refresh rates will let you keep up with the pros. With AMD Free - Sync Premium, the display’s refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU’s output to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth and lifelike gameplay. The QHD panel hits 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and the FHD display covers 100% of s - RGB, reproducing colors exactly as the creator intended. THERMAL INCREASED CAPACITY High core count CPUs and modern GPUs create more heat when at full load. The TUF Gaming A16 is equipped to handle its high-power hardware with up to six dedicated heatpipes. The 2023 TUF Gaming A16 keeps its cool in even the most demanding games. Each one features 84 blades that vary in thickness from base to tip to maximize airflow, and the blades are capped by a special aerodynamic wave pattern that minimizes turbulence and noise. Steady, evenly regulated airflow ensures greater reliability over time. The fans are made of a special liquid-crystal polymer that’s strong enough to spin at high RPMs even at ultrathin sizes, enabling our highest blade density and improving airflow by up to 13%. BLOW AWAY THE COMPETITION Four dedicated exhaust vents and a high density heatsink allow the TUF A16 to keep total fan noise under 48d - B when the system is in Turbo mode. The A16 stays cool and quiet during even the most intense gaming sessions DESIGN They will never see you coming The TUF Gaming A16 has a new color for 2023, designed to keep you off your enemy’s radar. Inspired by the wastelands of battlefield, Sandstorm is the perfect paintjob for a military-grade laptop. The anodizing process that creates this light tan color provides a finish that’s not only decorative, but durable and corrosion resistant, just like every TUF Gaming machine should be. These laptops must successfully survive a rigorous battery of MIL-STD-810H* tests. Dependable even in the harshest conditions, the TUF Gaming A16 is more than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life. BATTERY TAKE CHARGE A 90Wh

The ASUS TUF A16 has the best screen I've seen at this price point.

There is a bit of backlight bleeding on my model, but nothing terrible.The build quality itself is sturdy as well. No screen jiggle, keyboard is firm, and it has strong hinges that don't seem like they'll break, another issue budget gaming laptops seem to suffer from.

It's an overly complicated eye sore that is extremely buggy. Feels like bloatware if I'm being honest, so I uninstalled it and just installed a simple program to control my fan speeds instead. Headache resolved. It's easy enough to do, but I found it so odd that ASUS can build wonderful computers and then develop such terrible software.This is also my first time going full AMD, and so far I'm not disappointed. I've been able to play titles like Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield without any issue at high settings. My laptop doesn't seem to run any hotter or cooler than my other laptop that is an Intel CPU and NVIDIA GPU. The fan noise is much quieter though.

I have played video games for seemingly my entire life -- from Atari in the early 80s all the way through to my Xbox, it's nearly always been console based. I played some old puzzle based games back in the 90s, but due to my career, I have seen computers as work-necessary devices for most of the last 20 years. What I didn't realize is that the specs really improved the fun my kids have while playing.Throughout the pandemic, my kids started to watch more and more YouTube. This led to a mild, but growing interest in games like Minecraft and Rocket League as they became the subject of more YouTube videos. We would watch these videos as a family, and so I bought them a computer to play games and use for school. However, it was soon after this purchase that I learned ... MoreI have played video games for seemingly my entire life -- from Atari in the early 80s all the way through to my Xbox, it's nearly always been console based.

We would watch these videos as a family, and so I bought them a computer to play games and use for school. However, it was soon after this purchase that I learned that even moderately priced computers are not sufficient for today's games.Apex Legends relies on high frames per second (fps) and low lag. He would try to play these types of games with friends and was increasingly frustrated. It wasn't until he showed me the requirements of todays games that I realized my mistake.This Asus TUF A16 Gaming Laptop is a top tier laptop. These games now runs at a consistent 165 fps with nearly no lag. He offered to show me the stats while playing (see pictures), but it was evident that online gaming on his old computer was not nearly as responsive. For these games that require lightning fast reaction speed, it was surprisingly important to me that his friends could actually tell he was playing much better. Even though his friends didn't give him too hard of a time while playing previously, they wanted to play with him even more. I could see a big difference in his enjoyment -- because he was actually having fun and not playing just to get better (a chore that wasn't happening because the equipment he was playing on wasn't capable).He had me take a few turns to test out some of the differences, and it was alarming as a rather technologically inclined person, that you can't play these games on a "Regular" computer. This Asus gaming laptop is built to... well... game.But you can also use it as a regular computer and browsing with many tabs is a seamless experience. And personally, the large mouse area is a quality I wish my work laptop had -- not to mention the 10-key number setup on the right side. The screen is also nice and bright, but most of all, it's BEAUTIFUL. Crystal clear picture with minimal bezel -- and the sound is better than other laptops that I've used.I haven't had a chance to plug in a second SSD, but apparently, I can easily add another full TB of hard drive space -- I need to buy one and insteall, but the directions looked very easy.The only downside that we've seen is that you really need to keep it plugged in at all times. Once unplugged, the fps and lag worsen, and the batter was dead within an hour. So be prepared to setup near a wall. It's possible this is all on purpose, because the computer stays even cooler than my work laptop -- my suspicion is because there are several fans that are constantly keeping it from getting hot. I've had several laptops that get so hot they literally start to burn my legs -- I feel that also adds some longer-term protection as well.So while I'm not a "gamer" dad, I would strongly recommend a machine like this -- if your kids are going to play computer games (while also having the benefit of a Windows machine) it's a good idea to get them something that they can really enjoy. Games should be fun, not frustrating, right?

Even though his friends didn't give him too hard of a time while playing previously, they wanted to play with him even more. I could see a big difference in his enjoyment -- because he was actually having fun and not playing just to get better (a chore that wasn't happening because the equipment he was playing on wasn't capable).He had me take a few turns to test out some of the differences, and it was alarming as a rather technologically inclined person, that you can't play these games on a "Regular" computer. This Asus gaming laptop is built to... well... game.But you can also use it as a regular computer and browsing with many tabs is a seamless experience. And personally, the large mouse area is a quality I wish my work laptop had -- not to mention the 10-key number setup on the right side. The screen is also nice and bright, but most of all, it's BEAUTIFUL. Crystal clear picture with minimal bezel -- and the sound is better than other laptops that I've used.I haven't had a chance to plug in a second SSD, but apparently, I can easily add another full TB of hard drive space -- I need to buy one and insteall, but the directions looked very easy.The only downside that we've seen is that you really need to keep it plugged in at all times. Once unplugged, the fps and lag worsen, and the batter was dead within an hour. So be prepared to setup near a wall. It's possible this is all on purpose, because the computer stays even cooler than my work laptop -- my suspicion is because there are several fans that are constantly keeping it from getting hot. I've had several laptops that get so hot they literally start to burn my legs -- I feel that also adds some longer-term protection as well.So while I'm not a "gamer" dad, I would strongly recommend a machine like this -- if your kids are going to play computer games (while also having the benefit of a Windows machine) it's a good idea to get them something that they can really enjoy. Games should be fun, not frustrating, right?

The ASUS TUF Gaming Advantage Series come in a variety of configurations designed to satisfy the range of value gamer to more demanding. This review covers the value edition, and the bottom line is it didn't disappoint my casual gaming style. Like anything else, you spend more you get more, but I don't have any regrets on the performance this value model delivered. Not once while playing did I think, this computer is not up to the task, rather it let me dive into the game and forget the specs.As for the specs, it has decent amount of 16 gb DDR5 Ram, a FHD 165 hz free sync fast, sharp 1920 x1080 LCD screen, 512 gb PCIE storage, two USB A ports, two USB C ports, audio out, HDMI, and LAN port. Some might argue it's light on ports, but if you want a value computer, ... MoreThe ASUS TUF Gaming Advantage Series come in a variety of configurations designed to satisfy the range of value gamer to more demanding.

Not once while playing did I think, this computer is not up to the task, rather it let me dive into the game and forget the specs.As for the specs, it has decent amount of 16 gb DDR5 Ram, a FHD 165 hz free sync fast, sharp 1920 x1080 LCD screen, 512 gb PCIE storage, two USB A ports, two USB C ports, audio out, HDMI, and LAN port. Some might argue it's light on ports, but if you want a value computer, you are going to make sacrifices. I could live with these. It also saved money on the speakers (mediocre), fan design (got noisy under heaving gaming load), and brightness (or not) on the screen (fine for indoors, don't go outdoors). For a gaming computer, it correctly puts its money into the discrete graphics board based on the AMD Radeon RX 7600S GPU with 8 gb VRAM and the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU, all packaged in a surprisingly good case design that was both solid (no real screen flex unless forced), and stylish with limited bezels. I’m fine putting it into a good backpack, though it was a tad heavy. This isn’t for taking to class.Other ergonomic features I really liked include the trackpad, a reasonable size and clicking tension, and the keyboard was okay. It tends toward the spongy side, but only slightly, definitely was usable. For some the included number keypad will be a plus, but for me it meant the direction arrows were on the small side. The surprising area where the computer shines is a longer than average battery life. You won't want to game on battery (it throttles performance), but you can do casual browsing and video playing for over 10 hours.Nitpicks include (that may or may not affect you), no biometric fingerprint recognition, a power cord that inserts halfway through the side, a dark exterior that acts as a fingerprint magnet, and along with fan noise, it gets way too hot for the lap under load.All in all, for me, it's a good set of compromises that delivers on cost. But does it deliver on gameplay? YES. The balanced combination of screen, CPU, and GPU meant it handled any game I threw at it. I spend most of my time in Elden Ring and it didn't seem to matter how many textures, particles, and hostiles were on the screen, it kept up solid, fluid game play. It worked well with my playstation controller out of the box. Yes, it got hot, even loud, but frame rate always kept up. I recommend it as a game computer if you are on a budget.

The 90wh battery provides long life, lasting up to 13 hours and it recharges quickly.Smooth keys react promptly and its a nice change to have a number keypad, which was missing from my last laptop. The buttons are well lit and easy to see. Volume buttons are separate and located above the function keys making them easy to find. The FA617 also includes a camera and microphone which isn't something necessarily included in a laptop these days.Connections include an ethernet port (often missing on so many laptops), 1 HDMI, 2 USB-A, and 2 USB-C ports.Although I typically use a mouse, the mouse pad on the FA617 is smooth and very responsive. It also features Bluetooth 5.2 so I can easily connect my mouse and/or keyboard as well.It also has multiple fans to keep things cool - even during the most hectic gaming applications. These provide increased airflow and are super quiet.Weighing less than 5lbs, it has nice, smooth hinges, and closes securely. Although it's lightweight, it certainly has the feel of a well-built product that will keep me entertained for years!
Bought this laptop as a combo work and gaming laptop, as (thankfully) my career usually comes with downtime between actual work. I watched a coulle reputable YTers review the laptop and noted that they sometimes suggested going for something with a competitor gpu, but highlighted three important caveats: This is the most VRAM you can get at this price segment for current-gen gpus, the all-AMD specs means it has AMD Smart Access Graphics and WILD power efficiency (meaning unbeatable battery life at this price segment for gaming laptops), and… the 7600S turns out to be no slouch. No, really, go look for yourself in reviews; it wipes the floor against every competitor gpu in its price segment, reaching and achieving fps - even sometimes with ray-tracing! - that you ... MoreBought this laptop as a combo work and gaming laptop, as (thankfully) my career usually comes with downtime between actual work.

No, really, go look for yourself in reviews; it wipes the floor against every competitor gpu in its price segment, reaching and achieving fps - even sometimes with ray-tracing! - that you can’t get with competition unless you pay significantly more. 1080p is a solid high-framerate experience with most current AAA titles, and even can do 4k (which I use with my OLED TV sometimes) with the help of the top three FSR 2 settings - I’ve never once had to go down to FSR Ultra Performance. All of this on top of around 8hrs of battery life in my experience when just working with documents and occasional videos (crazy!) and, thus far for me, solid reliability with no quirky bugs - at least if you let AMD Smart Access Graphics do its thing or commit to only using Armoury Crate’s ultimate gpu mode, as switching occasionally between the two caused me some headaches trying to diagnose stuttering in RDR2 and CP77. The fans are also very quiet for a gaming laptop in general, and they’re not as shrill as some I’ve heard; I’m really sensitive to high-pitched, shrill sounds, and I’ve been just fine playing for a couple hours at full tilt with the laptop blasting its fans right next to me. The monitor is really decent too at this price - definitely lacking in contrast, but the blacks are pretty good, the colors great, and the responsiveness right on par with some true non-laptop IPS gaming monitors. The speakers are even tolerable! And it all comes wrapped in an inconspicuous, svelte matte black finish that looks right at home in my office. I really did NOT expect to get so much out of this laptop, but it really is excellent. Give it serious consideration, I sure have been happy with it!
I was in the market looking for an upgraded gaming laptop so I would be able to game while being on the road. I travel so much that the only true way to game is through portable devices. However I would still need a laptop to perform work duties as well. I came across this TUF gaming machine and so glad I did. This by far is the best gaming machine out on the market right now.Package / Setup Software was very impressive. I love how much attention ASUS gives to ensure the laptop is properly packaged. Everything is very snug to ensure safe travels and easy to unpackage out of the box. Setup was a breeze as ASUS has an easy to understand walkthrough. Unfortunately this laptop comes with Windows 11 however its not Asus fault and wont let that impact my review.

Setup was a breeze as ASUS has an easy to understand walkthrough. Unfortunately this laptop comes with Windows 11 however its not Asus fault and wont let that impact my review. My Asus and Armory Crate is great software that you will be using a lot to really maximize the performance of the laptop.Screen / Resolution is amazing! I did not want a small 15in laptop and the 17in ones are too large for my laptop carrying case. This TUF laptop is the perfect 16in size that fits my laptop carrying case perfectly! I am also impressed with the resolution and clarity of the screen. The 165hz refresh rate is awesome to prevent eye exhaustion on long spreadsheet days as well as very smooth gameplay.Gaming / Graphics that comes in this laptop is the AMD Ryzen 7 Series. It is NOT top of the line as the NVIDIA graphics chip however it does come very close and only the hardcore enthusiast would notice a difference. Running graphics benchmarks the TUF AMD laptop achieved a very high score that is comparable to NVIDIAs. for high-end gamers this will work perfectly and able to max out almost all the current 2023 games out there. The only complaint is the "AMD Adrenalin Edition" software its not user friendly and limited to what it can do to maximize your game settings. Also the drive space is super small, 500 would only get you a few games so strongly recommend buying an SSD to upgrade. The RAM is 15gig and at most have only used 8gig running high end games so no real need to upgrade RAM unless thinking of transforming this to a video editing rig.Battery Life is amazing on this laptop as long as you properly set them within Windows 11. I do not recommend gaming while on battery as it will drain it and does have a performance it. However as long as you customize your settings in Windows 11 to maximize battery life while not on AC power it can last up to 4 hours! I currently have it set to max battery life while on battery then on AC max power settings. The best software to use is the Asus Armory Crate, you can set GPU mode to "Ultimate" which basically unleashes it which is awesome to see. Windows 11 tries to hide the battery / AC settings under "Environmental Impact" which is a huge pain. However once you get past that you can customize those power settings to really take advantage to battery saving and AC plug settings.Sound / Speakers are located under the laptop which does place it at a small disadvantage versus other laptops. However this laptop comes with Dolby Access which makes the sounds crystal clear. It was really great hearing the games , music play on this laptop. I would recommend going into Dolby Access to really take advantage of the sound system. I just wish they placed the speakers on the top front area of the laptop like other TUF laptops.Overall this is an amazing laptop that you can use for business and gaming. The laptop itself is very durable to withstand all that travel in laptop carrying cases yet still lightweight to not become so heavy over time. The light keyboard and graphics is great and saves you a few extra 100 for only marginal difference with the NVIDIA TUF version. I strongly recommend this laptop for anyone looking for an awesome gaming machine, work machine and sound system.
The ASUS Model A16 is a budget-friendly laptop that should meet most of your gaming needs as well as double as a very capable productivity laptop. It has a attractive clean exterior design with a vision-friendly 16-inch diagonal bright and contrasty screen display with a non-glare finish. Mine came with 16GB of fast DDR5-4800 RAM with a slot capacity to hold up to 32GB, more than adequate for most gaming and memory-hungry productivity applications. The 512GB SSD makes for a fast-loading Windows 11 machine and applications load quickly and are responsive as well. Windows 11 loads in under 10 seconds and loading Adobe Photoshop 2023 takes only about 15 seconds to reach the opening screen. I have found from using gaming desktops that gaming laptops excel just as well ... MoreThe ASUS Model A16 is a budget-friendly laptop that should meet most of your gaming needs as well as double as a very capable productivity laptop.

I have found from using gaming desktops that gaming laptops excel just as well in productivity situations such as photo and video processing. For those wanting top performance in both gaming and productivity, the RAM and SSD in this laptop are user-accessible by removing the bottom cover, so adding memory and storage upgrades should be relatively simple, especially if you are a do-it-yourselfer.One of the more pleasant surprises to me personally about this laptop is the comfort and design of the back-lit keyboard. I have large hands and typically hate typing on most laptops. I have found the ASUS laptop a perfect fit and feel, essential for typing documents and emails. I/O ports are easily accessible and fast with two Type-A USB 3.2 ports and two USB-C ports, one using the latest USB4.0 technology, perfect for linking the laptop via a cable to Virtual Reality googles to add 3-D to your gaming experience. Lastly, AMD Radeon Video has 8GB of lightning fast video GDDR6 RAM for fast-action gaming. There's a lot to like about the ASUS TUF GAMING A16 Advantage Edition laptop, especially for the very affordable price.

Armoury Crate in particular allows you to view all of your system stats, change GPU performance settings, control lighting and audio setting, your AMD graphics settings, and resource monitoring. It also allows you to control visual game effects, create gaming profiles, and keeps you up to date on everything ASUS related. The device also has a MUX switch, allowing you to disable the integrated graphics in your laptop, giving you a performance increase in games at the expense of worse battery lifeI downloaded and played numerous games with xBox Pass and they all ran smoothly with no lag or screen ghosting. I didn’t see any frame loss during to most comp-lex graphics sequences. The screen is bright, crisp, and responsive. The keyboard is backlite and very easy to read in the light or when it’s dark. It has dedicated function keys for volume, Microphone, and to start Armoury Crate.I really like the performance of the laptop. The only thing I would change is the 512GB SD. It just isn’t big enough. Apps like Microsoft Flight Simulator take over 250GB leaving you little room for anything else. Despite that shortcoming, I still can recommend this laptop for gamers.
