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.

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.

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.
