NegativeAfter a year with their TUF A16 2024, it began crashing at idle from 70-98C temperatures. Cleaning and repasting did not help; it only runs cool with the Ryzen 9 CPU boost disabled.

PositiveBought a nearly new TUF A16 2024 (FA607PV, Ryzen 9 7940HX, RTX 4060) second hand at a low price and finds it fine, apart from a loose battery.
NegativeNew TUF A16 2024 with a 7940HX and RTX 4060 idles at 50-73C with fans starting every few minutes, hit 95C installing updates, and shows random black flickering while browsing.
MixedRuns their TUF A16 2024 with a -23 undervolt and 55W limit in silent mode via G-Helper, which brings idle package power to about 20W and idle temps to 45-50C; they have not seen the iGPU flicker.
PositiveJust got the A16 with a Ryzen 9 7940HX, 64GB RAM and RTX 4060 to carry between home and office. Battery life is not a big concern for them, and performance feels close to their 13900F desktop, with 32 threads helping compiles.
NegativeJust got the 7940HX TUF A16 2024 and gets only about an hour of battery life, which they find completely unacceptable.
PositiveUses the 2024 TUF A16 with the Ryzen 9 7940HX for astrophotography processing in PixInsight on Linux and calls it an awesome CPU and laptop; its benchmark beat a desktop 14900KF and a Legion 7i with a 14700HX.
MixedBought the TUF A16 2024 with a Ryzen 9 7940HX and RTX 4060 for gaming and development. Plugged-in performance is up to the mark, but battery life is only 4 to 4.5 hours in silent iGPU mode and about 3 hours of video.
