AH Real Deal: The ASUS TUF A16 Laptop Just Dropped In Price By $500

Amazon has an amazing deal on the ASUS TUF A16 right now that you don’t want to pass up if you’re looking to save some money AND get a good gaming laptop in the process. Now there are several different versions of this laptop from 2024 so that’s worth keeping in mind. This particular version of the TUF A16 comes with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX CPU, as well as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Normally the full retail price of this laptop is $1,799.99, but Amazon has dropped the price on it by $500 so it’s now available for $1,299.99. That’s a pretty good price for this laptop considering the specs. As long as you’re not doing HDMI out to an external monitor, you should be able to expect reasonably good frame rates with high or better-than-high graphics settings. Using HDMI out to an external monitor can reduce frame rates a bit so that’s also worth keeping in mind.

Visuals should also look great on the laptop as this is a QHD+ display, and it comes with a 165Hz refresh rate. The specs on this laptop are pretty good and you should expect great gaming performance. Having said that, here’s another reason to go with an ASUS TUF laptop. The durability. You shouldn’t reasonably expect it to withstand damage from really big drops or excessive force and pressure. However, the TUF laptops are designed to meet a military-grade testing standard. And they have an MIL-STD-810H rating. So this laptop should be fine from drops at waist height when the lid is closed.

It supports fast charging as well. So you only need about 30 minutes to charge the laptop’s battery up to 50%. Not bad at all if you plan to use the laptop off the charger. Although, if you’re planning on gaming, you’ll want to keep it plugged in.
