Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition 2023 FA617NSR

The TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition line of gaming laptops embodies the optimal balance between affordability and gaming capabilities, offering a well-thought-out configuration for both novice gamers and experienced users. The series is based on the modern AMD Rembrandt R (Zen 3+) platform, built on 8-core Ryzen 7 processors, which provide fairly high performance in games at 1080p and 1440p resolution.

The graphics performance is provided by a discrete Radeon RX 7600S adapter with 8 GB of video memory, which scores 46893 points in the 3DMark06 benchmark and is about 15% inferior to the mobile version of the GeForce RTX 4060 in terms of performance. The system's performance is provided by 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, which the user can expand to 32 GB if necessary by installing an additional memory module in the second free slot.

An M.2 SSD drive with a capacity of 512 to 1024 GB is used as a data storage. A 16-inch Full HD IPS matrix with a refresh rate of 165 to 240 Hz and AMD FreeSync support, which ensures smooth display of dynamic scenes, is responsible for image output. Although the color rendering and brightness of the screen do not claim to be premium, the display is great for gamers who value moderate response speed. Among other features of the A16 Advantage Edition laptops, it is worth highlighting the shockproof case of the MIL-STD-810 class, a pair of speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless module, RGB keyboard backlighting, as well as USB C (Power Delivery) and fast battery charging (50% in 30 minutes) functions.
