Reviews for the Asus TUF Gaming A14 FA401WV-WB94
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.

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.

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.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
