The RTX 5060 version of the A16, and the cheapest way to get that GPU in a TUF chassis with the upgraded panel.
Quick Specs
- AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8GB GDDR7
- 16GB DDR5-5600, 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
- 16" 16:10 IPS-level anti-glare, G-Sync with MUX switch
- Windows 11 Home, 1 year ASUS warranty
Where it sits
R4 000 over the RTX 5050 version of the same machine, for a GPU that is a genuine step up rather than a marketing one - the 5060 holds 1440p in most current titles where the 5050 is a 1080p card. On a 16-inch 16:10 panel that matters, and it matters more again if you plug into a 1440p monitor at home.
The trade-off worth naming
512GB. Two large modern games and Windows will fill it. The second M.2 slot is free and an NVMe drive is one of the easier upgrades to make, but budget for it rather than being surprised. If storage matters more than the display build, the TUF F16 in this collection gives you an RTX 5060 with 1TB for R30 499.
FEATURES:
- RTX 5060 with 8GB GDDR7 and DLSS 4 multi frame generation
- MUX switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus and G-Sync
- Two DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM slots, expandable to 64GB
- Second M.2 slot free for more storage
- Backlit chiclet keyboard with single-zone RGB
- Wi-Fi 6E, HDMI 2.1, USB-C and RJ45 LAN

Questions
Before you buy
What is inside this laptop?
RTX 5060 graphics, 16GB DDR5 of memory and a 16" 165Hz G-Sync display. The full configuration, including storage and ports, is in the Specifications section above.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
It varies by model - some laptops have sockets you can reach behind a service panel, others solder the memory to the board. Whatever this one supports is listed under Specifications, and opening the machine yourself can affect the warranty. Ask us before you buy an upgrade and we will confirm what will fit.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
