Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop RTX 5060 discount, Digi Mart USA News: Walmart is now offering a $700 discount on the Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop, bringing its price to $1,099 for a limited time, according to a Notebookcheck report on the deal.
The listed variant pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX processor, an 8-core, 16-thread chip, with 16 GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU. Notebookcheck says it has not reviewed this exact variant, but it has reviewed other TUF A16 configurations with different CPUs and GPUs and found thermal performance adequate.
The report says the RTX 5060 Laptop GPU has 8 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, which the article suggests may prove limiting in a few years since VRAM cannot be upgraded. The system RAM is DDR5 and can be upgraded to 64 GB, and the 512 GB of storage can be expanded through dual user-accessible M.2 2280 slots.
According to the report, most demanding modern AAA titles at 1080p with moderate settings should be playable. The laptop features a 1200p IPS display with a peak refresh rate of 165 Hz, which Notebookcheck describes as serviceable for fast-paced gaming, though creative users focused on color and contrast may prefer OLED or mini LED panels.
Notebookcheck notes that its review sources measured the display at roughly 365 nits peak brightness and a 1490:1 contrast ratio, with 97% sRGB coverage and 77% P3 coverage. The publication states that retailers set their own prices and that the deal may be subject to time restrictions or limited availability.
