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 90Whr 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.
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.
0.1mm Ultra-Thin Copper Fins
Thermal energy is dissipated by heatsink, each lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.1 mm. Higher density fins allow for increased heat dissipation and lower air resistance for smoother flow.
Full-width heatsink
The TUF Gaming A16 has a large full-width heatsink that spans the entire length of the laptop. The extra surface area allows ample room to transfer hot air out of the system, while also keeping the sides of the machine cool when you’re using a mouse or other peripherals.

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. 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 2.5K panel hits 100% of the sRGB colour space, reproducing colours 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.
