80.3% Asus TUF Gaming A14 FA401WV review: Zen 5 Ryzen 9 continues to impress | Notebookcheck
The Asus TUF series is getting bigger with its new smallest member powered by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. It’s one of the fastest 14-inch gaming laptops available so long as you can tolerate the high temperatures and fan noise.

82% ASUS TUF Gaming A14 Review: A Solid 14-Inch Gaming Laptop

Priced at around Rs 1,70,000, we could actually say that the TUF Gaming A14 is a great alternative to pricier 14-inch gaming laptop options on the market. As weird as that sounds, it’s true. While it may lack some premium features like a metal deck and RGB lighting, it compensates with a solid port selection, comfortable keyboard, lightweight design, and good performance. If you’re looking for a compact yet capable machine, the ASUS TUF Gaming A14 is certainly worth checking out. The landscape of 14-inch gaming laptops has changed significantly over the past few years, with more options emerging. One of the latest entrants is the Asus TUF Gaming A14 FA401WV, equipped with AMD’s Zen 5 CPUs.

ASUS TUF Gaming A14 (FA401) review – Gaming Power, Portable Package
Source: Laptop Media
The ASUS TUF Gaming A14 (FA401) is a well-engineered machine. It has solid build quality and great input devices. The comfort under load depends on the applied power preset. In idle, when the “Silent” preset is activated, the fans are completely turned off during light tasks. While gaming, the WASD zone is pleasantly cool and the other sections feel warm to the touch, not hot as hell. The “Performance” mode is the way to go if you prefer tamed fans at the expense of lowered CPU and GPU clocks. Turning on the “Turbo” mode unleashed the full potential of the laptop – a 100W GPU TGP and impressively high processor clocks. In this case, the fans are noisy but not too much.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU: High-end graphics card for laptops based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Offers 8 GB GDDR6 (128 Bit) and is configurable with a TGP of 35 – 115W (+ Dynamic Boost). 

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop: Mobile mid-range graphics card from the Blackwell family based on the GB206 chip with 3328 shaders and 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory (128 bit).

AMD Strix Halo/Point (Zen 5/5c, Ryzen AI 300):

Ryzen AI 9 HX 370: A powerful Strix Point family processor that debuted in June 2024. The Ryzen AI 9 series APU comes with 12 CPU cores, the 16 CU RDNA 3+ Radeon 890M graphics adapter and the 50 TOPS XDNA 2 neural engine. There is still no PCIe 5 support here and 8 of the CPU cores are slower than the other 4.

AMD :

Ryzen AI 7 350: A relatively powerful Krackan Point family processor that was introduced in early 2025. The APU integrates 8 CPU cores (4 Zen 5 cores with up to 5 GHz and 4 Zen 5c cores with up to 3.5 GHz).

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
