16-inch FHD+ 165Hz display driven by a 10-core Intel Core i5-13450HX, RTX 5050 8GB GDDR6 graphics, 64GB DDR5 and 1TB PCIe SSD
The ASUS TUF F16 is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core i5-13450HX processor with 10 cores running up to 4.6 GHz. It pairs that CPU with 64 GB of DDR5 memory and a 1 TB PCIe SSD for fast load times. The 1920 x 1200 FHD+ panel refreshes at 165 Hz. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2024 licence are pre-installed.
A Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port with DisplayPort 2.1 support sits alongside a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery 3.0. One USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI 2.1 FRL, RJ45 LAN, a combo audio jack and the ASUS slim power jack complete the I/O. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 handle wireless duties. The four-zone RGB keyboard adds per-key lighting control.
The i5-13450HX is rated at a 55 W base power level, so sustained loads will draw significant energy through the slim chassis. The 13.94 x 10.59 x 0.7 inch frame weighs 4.85 pounds, leaving limited volume for airflow. Fan noise rises under heavy GPU utilisation from the RTX 5050 8 GB GDDR6. Surface temperatures on the keyboard deck become noticeable during extended sessions.

The CPU is rated at 55W base power with a 4.6 GHz turbo frequency; sustained loads will run at or below this limit depending on the cooling solution.
The 13.94 x 10.59 x 0.7 inch chassis houses dual fans that ramp up under load; surface temperatures stay within safe limits for the 55W CPU and 8GB GPU.
Yes, the single Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port carries DisplayPort 2.1 and Power Delivery 3.0, so one cable drives a display and charges the laptop.
