OUTLAST THE COMPETITION
Geared for serious gaming and rocking a slick new style, TUF Gaming A17 is a feature-packed Windows 11 home gaming laptop with the power to carry you to victory. The new GeForce RTX™ 2050 GPU delivers fluid gameplay on up to a 144Hz display, while the potent AMD Ryzen™ 5 CPU is bolstered by improved cooling that amps CPU performance and keeps acoustics stealthy. A long-lasting 90Wh battery coupled with TUF’s military-grade durability keeps you on your best game anywhere.
STUN WITH STYLE
Personalise your experience with sleek Eclipse Gray or bold Graphite Black colour options. A textured honeycomb design on the base adds grip and echoes the hexagon reinforcements around the chassis. Hairline brush strokes accent the palm area, adding a subtle texture that looks professional and clean.
TAKE ON ANY CHALLENGE
Always ready for action, the TUF Gaming A17 excels at gaming, streaming, and everything in between. Up to an 8-core AMD Ryzen™ 7 CPU activates as many as 16 threads to fly through multitasking and more. Gameplay graphics are smooth with the latest GeForce RTX™ 2050 GPU which reliably delivers high frame rates for a ton of modern games. A superfast NVMe PCIe® SSD up to 1TB speeds up load times, while an open SSD slot makes it easy to add terabytes more space for all your games.
SPEED TO VICTORY
Featuring a speedy IPS-level panel up to 144Hz, the TUF Gaming A17 is perfect for fast-paced gaming. With Adaptive-Sync, the display’s refresh rate synchronises with the GPU’s frame rate to reduce lag, minimise stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth and immersive gameplay. Level up your multitasking abilities by connecting a second monitor via the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C™, which is G-SYNC® enabled and supports DisplayPort™ 1.4. Play 4K Ultra HD movies, videos, and games on big-screen TVs with HDMI 2.0b.
CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO
Two speakers with four cut-outs are loud and powerful, enabling deeper audio immersion. DTS:X™ Ultra delivers high-fidelity audio for clear, precise sound. Virtual 7.1-channel surround sound enhances spatial awareness in-game to help you get the drop on enemies. Up to 8 preset modes for music, movies, and gaming genres optimise your experience further, on top of the built-in equaliser that lets you fine-tune your settings at will.
LASTING COOL
Comprehensive cooling sustains long-term system reliability and extends the lifespan of your machine. Four heatpipes and three heatsinks draw heat away from your hardware and dissipates it quickly, keeping component temperatures at optimum levels. A Self-cleaning Cooling 2.0 design ensures that your cooling system stays debris-free for full functionality for the long haul. Tuned operating modes balance clock speeds and acoustics for the task at hand, customisable to your needs.
LIVE LONG AND TRAVEL FAR
No matter where life takes you, keep a reliable ally at your side. Lightweight, portable, and long-lasting, this laptop lets you stay connected to the world, untethered from the wall. Its power-efficient AMD Ryzen™ processor and formidable 90Wh battery combine to offer up to 14 hours of video playback, so you can watch more on the move. Fast and reliable Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) ensures that you’ll be able to connect to the web and be productive wherever compatible connections are available.
MILITARY-GRADE TOUGHNESS
In order to earn the TUF Gaming name, these laptops must successfully survive a rigorous battery of MIL-STD-810H tests. Test devices are exposed to drops, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures to ensure reliability. Dependable even in the harshest conditions, the A17 is more than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday life.
OPTIMISED FOR GAMING
Arm yourself with a desktop-style keyboard optimised for gaming. Uniform RGB backlighting lets you express your own unique style, while highlighted WASD accents give you a visual shortcut to key movement commands. Overstroke technology triggers higher in each keystroke for faster responsiveness and effortless control. In true TUF form, each key is durable enough to withstand over 20 million presses for superb long-term reliability and precision.
UPGRADING MADE EASY
Upgrading your RAM and SSD is simplified with an easy-upgrade design that gives you fast access to memory slots and storage bays. With a standard screwdriver, you can easily remove the screws at the bottom of the chassis to make your desired modifications. A special pop-open screw raises one corner of the bottom panel, making it easier to separate. Quickly upgrade or replace your RAM, or increase your superfast SSD capacity by adding a second PCIe® drive.
COMPREHENSIVE CONNECTIVITY
Lots of I/O ports let you connect your favourite devices and start working anywhere. Two USB 3.2 Type-A ports allow for speedy data transfers, with an additional USB 3.2 Type-A port that makes three total inputs for preferred peripherals. Bluetooth also lets you also pair mice, headphones, and other compatible devices for a cleaner, wire-free working space. Use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C™ with DisplayPort™ 1.4 to hook up a superfast G-SYNC™ display for silky smooth gaming. Hop online with 802.11AX (2x2) Wi-Fi for fast and reliable connectivity wherever Wi-Fi is available.
UNIFIED SYSTEM TUNING AND PERSONALISATION
Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting controls to put essential settings at your fingertips in a single utility. Its extensive customisation options let you personalise aesthetic effects, fine-tune game profiles, and adjust audio settings to fit your preferences. With Scenario Profiles, you can define and custom preferences that automatically adjust performance and other settings when you launch your favourite apps and games. Take complete control of your experience and make it fully your own.
