ASUS today announced the launch of the all-new TUF A16 gaming laptop at Computex 2024. The TUF A16 packs potent performance into a sleek, portable chassis, making it an ideal choice for gamers and creators on-the-go.
Cutting-Edge Internals
At the heart of the TUF Gaming A16 is an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor with an impressive 45 TOPS NPU for accelerated AI and machine learning workloads. The laptop can be configured with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU for blistering frame rates and stunning ray-traced visuals. High-speed LPDDR5X 7500MHz RAM and ultrafast NVMe SSD storage ensure lightning-quick response times.
Compact Yet Immersive
The lean 17.9mm thin chassis with 3.75mm slim bezels packs a spacious 16-inch 2.5K 165Hz display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 90% screen-to-body ratio into a compact footprint. ASUS engineers managed to maximize the screen real estate while keeping the weight low and portability high.
Innovative Cooling Solution
The TUF Gaming A16’s full-width heatsink utilizes second-generation Arc Flow Fans along with a combination of 6mm and 8mm heatpipes to efficiently dissipate heat from the high-wattage CPU and GPU. With a maximum 160W thermal capacity in Turbo mode, the laptop can maintain peak performance for extended periods.
Built to Last
Despite its thin profile, the durable TUF A16 passes MIL-STD-810H testing for durability against drops, vibration, humidity and extreme temperatures. A 90Wh battery with fast charging support keeps you powered for all-day gaming sessions.
