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
SmartAccess Graphics

AMD SmartAccess 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.

SmartShift
SmartShift 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.

SmartShift RSR
The SmartShift 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 FreeSync™ 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 sRGB, 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.

ARC FLOW FANS™
Slim chassis leave little room for cooling, so we enhanced every aspect of the Arc Flow Fans™. 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 48dB 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 battery paired with the power-efficient AMD Ryzen™ processor provide up to 13.6 hours of video playback, with fast charging technology returning the machine to 50% charge in just 30 minutes. The A16 also supports up to 100W charging via USB-C, giving you flexibility on when and where you charge the machine on the go.

*Battery life may vary based on system configuration.

CONNECTIVITY
SAFE PORT IN A STORM

No matter your setup, the TUF Gaming A16 will keep you connected. A dedicated HDMI 2.1b port is supplemented by dual USB Type-C with DisplayPort support as well as the power and versatility of USB 4.0. For extra peripherals, the A16 also features one USB Type-A port on the left and right side, giving you flexibility no matter which hand is dominant. Fast and reliable Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) ensures that you’ll be able to get online and enjoy lag-free gaming even on crowded networks, or you can wire up directly with gigabit Ethernet on-board.

*On selected model

AUDIO
Crystal clear comms

Two speakers powered by Dolby Atmos ensure a high-fidelity soundstage. Hi-Res Audio delivers music the way the artist intended over headphones. Two-way AI Noise Cancelation keeps incoming and outgoing communications clear of background noise, letting you focus on the action.

CONTROL
PRECISION STRIKES

The keyboard’s desktop-style layout features spaces between function keys for intuitive identification and hot keys to keep vital commands within easy reach. A travel distance of 1.7mm allows for effortless keystrokes with the potential to increase your input speed, and the white backlight makes every key stand out even in low light conditions.

SOFTWARE
THE ULTIMATE COMMAND CENTER

Armoury Crate software unifies system and lighting controls under a single, easy-to-use utility. Its extensive customization options let you personalize aesthetic effects, fine-tune game profiles, and adjust audio settings to fit your preferences. With Scenario Profiles, you can define and custom preferences that automatically adjust performance and other options when you launch your favorite apps and games. With Armoury Crate, you take complete control of your experience.

Exclusive
Unboxing Experience

The TUF Gaming A16 also has a unique AR experience bundled with the box. After scanning a QR code with your smartphone, the AR filter will activate to reveal a mini TUF mech, direct from the apocalyptic wastelands. The mech is user controllable, so go get in the pilot seat.

BUNDLES
BUNDLE UP

Synchronize your look with TUF Gaming accessories all built with durability in mind. The TUF Gaming backpack features a large internal compartment with dividers, so you can safely store and transport your laptop and all your peripherals to LAN parties and tournaments. The TUF Gaming M3 GEN ll mouse is the perfect companion for your laptop. Lightweight and optimized for both claw and fingertip grip styles, it’s also incredibly durable with Teflon feet and a 60 million click lifespan.
