Design
All-new Design
The design philosophy behind the TUF Gaming A16 is all about blending power with portability. The A16 can easily fit into most bags, backpacks, and even some large purses, and at just under 2.2kg and 17.9mm at its thinnest point, you can easily grab it and bring it with you anywhere. A 90Wh battery can keep you going for longer, and when paired with 100W charging via USB-C, topping up a charge has never been easier.
A 180° hinge design allows you to find the perfect angle no matter how you use the A16.
An aluminum lid adorned with a subtle TUF Gaming logo keeps you under the radar when you’re out on the town.
A full-width rear exhaust vent keeps airflow optimal and frees up both the left and right sides of the machine for I/O port connectivity.
With the TUF Gaming A16 coming in at just 17.9mm at its thinnest point, it can easily slip into your bag without taking up too much space.
Durability
MILITARY GRADE TOUGHNESS
In order to earn the TUF Gaming name, these laptops must successfully survive a rigorous battery of MIL-STD-810H tests. Test devices are exposed to drops, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures to ensure reliability. Dependable even in the harshest conditions, the A16 is more than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life.
Cooling
Keep your cool
Powerful components require powerful cooling, so we’ve equipped the TUF Gaming A16 with a whole suite of technology to keep it running at peak performance. From the 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans™ inspired by aircraft engines to a full-width heatsink and integrated dust filters, the A16 will never lose its cool.

0db Ambient Cooling
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling technology. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all its fans during light tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
FULL-WIDTH HEAT PIPES
An array of heat pipes spread across the full width of the chassis, efficiently moving heat from the CPU and GPU to the heatsink.
Full-width heatsink
Thermal energy is dissipated by a large, full-width heatsink that spans the entire length of the laptop. Lined with ultra-thin copper fins, this massive amount of surface area allows the system to more easily exhaust hot air out of the rear vents.

2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans
We’ve added small bends at the end of each of the 84 primary blades that improve both motor efficiency and turbulence. The fans also now feature a dual-impeller design, with a smaller set of 42 fan blades inside that allow more air to be sucked through with each rotation, similar to a jet turbine. These fans consume 16% less power while increasing airflow by 11%, enabling the high-performance components inside to run their very best.

Keep up with the pros thanks to a 2.5K 165Hz display. NVIDIA G-SYNC synchronizes the display's refresh rate with the GPU's output to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth and lifelike gameplay. The 2.5K panel hits 100% of the sRGB color space, reproducing colors exactly as the creator intended. On a 16-inch laptop chassis, this resolution packs an incredible pixel density, ensuring your videos and games are as immersive as possible without sacrificing portability.

Richer audio draws you more deeply into gameplay and media. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced, layered sound effects that you can optimize with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.
AI Noise Cancellation
Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise cancellation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher framerates. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.
