A long-lasting 90Wh battery coupled with TUF’s military-grade durability keeps you on your best game anywhere.
STUN WITH STYLE

Hairline brush strokes accent the palm area, adding a subtle texture that looks professional and clean.
Honeycomb Grip
Textured honeycomb grip coats the bottom of the chassis. Strategic cuts double as cooling vents.

Brushed Metal Finish
Contrasting hairline brushstrokes across the chassis are clean-cut and sleek.
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 synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to reduce lag, minimize 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 optimize your experience further, on top of the built-in equalizer 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, customizable 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.
OPTIMIZED FOR GAMING
Arm yourself with a desktop-style keyboard optimized 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 favorite 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 (2×2) Wi-Fi for fast and reliable connectivity wherever Wi-Fi is available.
