ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition review: This is a mouthful
Source: Techlusive
I’ll start with the nitpicking. This laptop is heavy, the vents heat up anything around them, the display could’ve been brighter, and the speakers have the necessary tech, but lack the audio output. With that out of my system, I don’t find anything to complain about this laptop. I’ve been using it in the office during the day and gaming in night. Almost never shut it down in my two weeks with it, and it runs just fine. Also, the quirks I mentioned above, if you buy a gaming laptop, you know you’re signing up for the average battery and the heat. That said, the ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition is difficult to beat at this price. And not just this machine, the whole TUF lineup has good specs to offer at reasonable prices. This A16 laptop costs Rs. 1,39,990 at the time of writing this review. At this price, you get top-tier specs with 1TB SSD storage and 16GB RAM to start with.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
