    Important updates from ASUS in no particular order: - The Zen 3+ model I've got here does not actually have USB 4, explains why my eGPU did not work. Zen 4 config should. The ASUS website has now been updated to correctly show this on the spec sheet. - The 7600S has a 95W TGP, but the 7700S has a 120W TGP. - Armoury Crate wording around standard and optimized modes will be updated to make it clearer. - The 6 heatpipe cooler is confirmed only for the Zen 4 model, not the Zen 3+ one I've got here as I suspected, the ASUS website will change to reflect this. - The two Type-C ports: I said one goes to the iGPU and the other dGPU, this is correct, but I mixed them up in the video, it's the opposite to what I said. The one closer to the front goes to dGPU, while the back is iGPU.

    The A16 is much more appealing to me than the A15 because of the screen aspect ratio and more vertical resolution. I exclusively run Linux on my laptops and this is where AMD GPUs shine. However the fact the keyboard wasn't recognized is a bit concerning, though I'm sure it will get fixed at some point.

    Also one thing not talked about in the review that I think is relevant. AMD has something called Radeon Chill, which lets you configure variable refresh-rate to save power. It actually works quite well particularly when paired with a FreeSync monitor. I use it in non-competitive (story) games. It can save a bunch of power.

    If you have a 6700S laptop with a Rembrandt CPU, I would really love to an equalized power limits comparison between 6700S and 7600S, basically a head to head "cut-down N23 vs cut-down N33" battle. N23 vs N33 is rather interesting in general because the two GPUs have near identical configs. Both have 32CUs/16WGPs split across 4 shader arrays/2 shader engines. Both have 32MB of Infinity Cache and a 128b GDDR6 memory bus. Both are based on a 7nm class process node (N33 is technically on N6, but the node is *very* similar to N7P in terms of both power and performance characteristics). N23 vs N33 is essentially a direct RDNA2 vs RDNA3 architecture battle.

    Considering the pricing (at the moment), and the efficiency of the AMD, and how quiet it is, this is a good step forward for AMD. Their higher tiered Ryzen 9 and Radeon options still need to be competitive though. Also, this Cpu and Gpu are sporting the s moniker, like last year, does this basically mean smaller less wattage versions? Could you say that this Asus TUF is using Ultrabook hardware?

    I bought this laptop and performance wise it's quite good but it just feels so buggy and unstable sometimes with heaps of issues that require troubleshooting. For example, when connecting to my dock via the front USB C port the screens wouldn't turn on, but when connecting to the back port they do. I "fixed" the issue by uninstalling Armour Crate and now it works. Pretty ridiculous that I have to uninstall Asus' own software to get the laptop to work! (But now I no longer can use the MUX switch). Other random issues I've had which I still haven't been able to resolve: -Screen often won't turn off after specified time in power settings -Sometimes immediately wakes after putting it in hibernate -When wirelessly casting to my TV the video often freezes after ~20min forcing me to recast -When I alt tab out of some games my web browser flickers black unless I turn hardware acceleration off I really wish Asus could improve their QC, otherwise this would've been a great laptop for the price

I’ll be using it for professional work throughout the day, but there will be break periods in between, so I didn’t want to just get a basic business laptop. I was astounded to find hooking it up to my 4K monitor that I was able to get 60fps+ in CP77, Control, and Dirt Rally 2.0 with moderate settings / FSR, and of course using the standard 1200p monitor, it performs outstandingly.

    Hi Jarrod, thanks for the review! I actually bought previous generation of A15 with 3070nvidia graphics cards, and i noticed that some of electronics components (located near graphic chip) are making a very uncomfortable low humming noise. Its sounds like a plasma lighter if you know what i mean, just much quieter. And i see that this is quite a common problem with a lot of Asus laptops. If you can add this little test in the future, just launch a game on a cold laptop and try to listen to sounds near keyboard (its better to test on cold laptop because you won’t hear fans). I is really annoying problem, and for some people it may sound like laptop is a bout to die ( mine work just fine over a year now). Also, i think i shall also point one thing up - DO NOT clean your keyboard with anything then just a dry cloth! If you use even slightly aggressive chemicals like windows cleaner - the prints on these key’s will deteriorate immediately. And this is too, a very disappointing thing( Also be aware that wifi6 cards on this laptops are usually bad quality - and you will experience some wifi disconnections here and there. But still, A15 is one of the best laptops I’ve ever had)

    Coil whine is hard to test because it can differ per model/unit. I bought 4 (!) Legion 5 Pros to find one without it (buy-try-return cycles). If its only when fans are low and under heavy usage then its almost inevitable, 100% usage with minimum fans is very unique (at first I though I had a bee inside laptop 😂). But if its always when fans are low, and then its return time.

    Asus Tuf A16 Thermal Throttling I just got the laptop a few days ago. It’s been pretty amazing so far. One thing I’m noticing in games that the cpu (amd 7 7735hs) reaches about 95 Celsius in 30-50% usage and suddenly the games start stuttering a lil bit. Ik its normal for modern cpus to run a little bit hotter. But is it normal in only 30 to 50% usage? Should I worry? Btw I ran all the benchmarks and they’re all within normal limits.

    Considering this is the bottom model (there are 2 models with Zen 4 and one of them with a more powerful gpu), not bad at all! Will be definitely better than 4050 laptops, while likely cheaper! I wish this (and Zen 4) CPUs were more common without dedicated graphics...

    I'm just happy to see the TUF finally move on to 16:10 aspect ratio and I maintain that in Sandstorm, it's the prettiest gaming laptop. Legions are clean and corporate, ROGs are flamboyant, Dells are colourful but this TUF is genuinely pretty. Though this model is basically a TUF Dash laptop with such low TGP. Very strange.
