ASUS has unveiled the latest model in its popular TUF Gaming laptop line, featuring a new ultraportable chassis design, AMD Ryzen™ 9 AI HX 370 processor, and dedicated NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ Laptop GPUs. With improved cooling and superior upgradeability, the TUF Gaming A14 sets a new standard for value-oriented gaming laptops.
AI-Enhanced Gaming and Productivity
The future of computing is centred on artificial intelligence, making local AI performance essential to avoid long wait times and high costs in the cloud.
The ASUS TUF Gaming A14 (FA401) is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 processor, featuring 12 cores, 24 threads, and a built-in NPU capable of 50 TOPS of AI performance. This makes it an ideal companion to AMD Ryzen AI, allowing users to apply eye-gaze correction and utilize Windows Copilot tools like email summarization locally, with reduced power consumption.
Both models in the new lineup come with dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPUs, which provide excellent AI performance. Powered by the NVIDIA RTX AI platform, these GPUs offer unique capabilities and accelerations in over 500 AI-powered games and applications, including photo and video editing, image generation, and programming.
The RTX GPUs feature dedicated AI hardware called Tensor Cores that use TensorRT software to further enhance performance. This combination unlocks the fastest AI and experiences exclusive to this platform. Gaming features like DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction will also perform exceptionally well, complementing the 2.5K 165 Hz NVIDIA G-SYNC®-compatible display on both machines.
A Brand-New 14-Inch Form Factor
For the first time, ASUS introduces a 14-inch form factor in the TUF Gaming lineup. Designed to be ultraportable and ultra-powerful, the new TUF Gaming A14 weighs only 1.46 kg and measures 1.69 cm thick.
Despite its compact dimensions, the A14 supports up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 4060 Laptop GPU with a 100 W maximum TGP — significantly higher than many competitors — ensuring an exceptional gaming experience.
In addition, the TUF Gaming A14 comes with dual-channel LPDDR5 memory and two M.2 2280 SSD slots, allowing users to add storage in the second slot or upgrade for extreme storage capacity in a 14-inch laptop. USB power delivery completes this portable powerhouse, offering easy on-the-go charging with wide compatibility between devices thanks to USB-C.
