ASUS TUF Gaming F16 review

ASUS TUF Gaming F16 review

Just now a new tough laptop has been launched in the market. Its name is ASUS Tough Gaming F16. Yes you heard it right. It means the display has been made 16 inches this time. But the size of the laptop is the same, it has not been increased.

A new processor Core 5 210H and a new GPU RTX 3050A has been launched. Let’s see what new has been done. I mean brother, let us also know. So you can see the box, it is exactly similar.

As soon as we open the box

We find our laptop. On the right side we find a power adapter and it is a 150 W power adapter. It comes with such a pin. And a power cord. And this is a normal three pin plug. That’s it. Unboxing is done. This was what was in the box. Now it’s the laptop’s turn. You can see what a look it has. I mean it is good look-wise.

The end is exactly similar to the Tuff that we used to get earlier. I mean, not the one from long ago, I am not talking about the 2020 version. After that, they changed it after some time. So this is the new version. And this one has been running for the last two-three years.

I like this design comparatively as compared to the previous one. I mean, those who are already watching us will know what I am talking about. Which Tuff am I talking about. So our top comes in metal which is a very good thing. And the Tuff logo in the center is slightly raised. So it looks very good. And they have tried to give a little gaming look on the side as well. You can see at the back, ours comes in polycarbonate build.

 

Build quality and ports

We find some vents open inside it. And there are a lot of rubber grips etc. also. So it maintains a good grip like this brother. It will not let your laptop move from the table. Apart from that, we get some ports on the left side. There are not many ports, but on the right side there is an exhaust vent and a port. Apart from that, we get exhaust vents on the back side as well. So, there are a total of three exhaust vents in it.

Apart from that, the display of the laptop opens very easily with one hand. Its weight distribution is absolutely correct. There is no problem in that. And if we talk about the hinge, the quality of the hinge is also good, no matter how much I used it, you will not face any problem and we also do not get the wobbling issue in it. There is no problem of it moving. So the build quality is quite solid.

The tough build is maintained properly. So there is no doubt about it. They have printed the name Military Grade. Nice. It means that military people should take this laptop. Look, they have written such questions and regulations properly. It gives a full feel. What do you mean there will be an air strike. And the display goes up to this angle maximum.

It does not go more than this. So it is almost up to 140-150 degrees. You can assume. And if we talk about the weight, then its weight is 2009 grams. Almost 2 kg, just 9 grams above. So definitely it has a very slim form factor. And if you are a college student who has to carry a lot and also want a gaming laptop, then Tough will give you that portability to a great extent compared to other gaming laptops which generally start from 2.5 kg. If we add the charger also, then its weight becomes around 2.4 kg. For 16 inches, the weight of 2 kg is quite minimal. To be honest and that too being a gaming laptop.

 

The shiny RGB keyboard

You will enjoy using the keyboard. It gives tactile feedback and the WSD keys are highlighted to give it a gaming look. If you type, make notes, do programming or coding etc., then you will get good feedback in this keyboard. The rest of the left side is completely plain. On the right side we get some stickers and a warning is given. High frame rate zone. Full frames will be given.

Predator Knight, all these are very heavy. The rest of the design inside is also very good. You will get its gaming look. You will also see the shiny RGB keyboard. So inside it there is a single zone RGB keyboard which you can obviously customize by going to the Armor Create software.

The rest of the keyboard feel is very good brother. In gaming laptops, no one pays attention to the trackpads. But the size we get inside it is a good size. So you will enjoy using it. And the best thing is that it feels very smooth.

We will see how many frames are there in the gaming test. What happens by writing. Right? The rest of the Core Five branding is also done here. Its end trackpad is quite big. In gaming laptops, no one pays attention to the trackpads. But the size we get inside it is a good size. So you will enjoy using it. And the best thing is that it feels very smooth.

There is nothing new to tell in it. Just keep one thing in mind that we get a mag switch in this laptop. So you can shift to the dedicated graphic card and all the settings are done by Armory Crate. Tough branding is also done in the corner of the end trackpad. You will enjoy using it. The feedback is good and it is fully clickable. So all the gestures and sounds will be supported in it. The rest of the software of our Armory Crate is very similar. As it has been available before.
