The Asus V16 is a more lightweight alternative to the Asus TUF gaming laptop series. In our Asus V16 review, our reviewer praised the balance between its large screen and light body, its fans with reasonable noise suppression, and a "clicky and snappy" keyboard that didn't require much pressure to use. It earned four out of five stars.

The battery life is another standout quality, promising up to 15 hours on one charge. Our tester reported around 12 hours, which is less than that, but double the battery life of something like the Acer Nitro V.

As for its other specs, the 16-inch screen supports a 144Hz refresh rate, the bare minimum for fast-paced gameplay, and 300 nits of brightness. That's about average, but good value for the price.
