TL;DR
Amazon has the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 gaming laptop on sale for $899.99 (down from its $1,299.99 list price). That saves you $400 on a 2025 gaming laptop with an Intel Core i5‑13450HX processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, and a 165 Hz FHD+ display.
Price
- $899.99 – at Amazon
- $1,299.99 – regular price → Save $400
Finding a current‑gen gaming laptop in today’s economy for under $1,000 is already amazing, but Amazon’s latest ASUS deal is offering you an all‑time low bargain.
As of April 28, the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 is on sale for $899.99 at Amazon, marked down from $1,299.99. Price‑tracker camelcamelcamel has confirmed that this is the lowest‑ever price for this gaming laptop.
For that price you’re getting the RTX 5050 and Intel Core i5 version of the TUF Gaming F16, which is built around an Intel Core i5‑13450HX processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU. It also comes with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512 GB PCIe Gen4 SSD, making it well‑suited for gaming, school work, everyday browsing, and plenty of tabs without crashing.
With those specs, this version of the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 lets you comfortably run the latest graphically demanding titles—including Crimson Desert, Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Pragmata.
Display
The 16‑inch FHD+ display is a big part of the appeal, with ASUS’s fitted 165 Hz 16:10 panel covering 100 % sRGB color. The taller aspect ratio gives you extra vertical space compared to a standard 16:9 screen while keeping motion smoother in fast‑paced games like Fortnite.

The handy Adaptive‑Sync also helps cut down on stuttering and screen tearing when your frame rate starts shifting during intense firefights or brawls with lots of assets moving around at the same time.
ASUS TUF Gaming F16
The TUF Gaming F16 keeps the series’ usual more rugged angle, as well. ASUS has had the laptop tested to MIL‑STD‑810H standards, while its 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans, full‑width heatsink, and full‑width vent are designed to help keep performance steady without making the machine unnecessarily loud.
