Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling technology.

Keep up with the pros thanks to a WUXGA 1920 x 1200 165Hz display. NVIDIA G-SYNC synchronises the display's refresh rate with the GPU's output to reduce lag, minimise stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth and lifelike gameplay. The FHD+ panel hits 100% of the sRGB colour space, and when packed into a 16-inch chassis, this resolution boasts an incredible pixel density, ensuring your videos and games are as immersive as possible without sacrificing portability.

At only 2.20kg, the TUF Gaming A16 is ready to travel anywhere — and built-in WiFi 6E will keep you connected at lightning-fast speeds wherever you go.
