Asus releases new 14-inch gaming laptop in the US with AMD Strix Halo
Asus has quietly started selling its first AMD Strix Halo-powered gaming laptop in the US. To recap, the TUF Gaming A14 FA401EA is already available in multiple markets like China, Europe and Japan. Initially, Asus suggested that the 14-inch laptop would reach the US for $1,799.
However, a few retailers then listed the same SKU for $2,199 last month. Now, Best Buy has opened sales in the US for the latter price tag rather than the former with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Seemingly, Amazon stocked the same laptop in the US at the start of March, too. The laptop is marked as being temporarily out of stock for the time being, though.
Unfortunately, the US continues to miss out on the 64 GB RAM variant that Asus offers in other markets. Thus, one can only assign up to 16 GB VRAM to the laptop's Radeon 8060S iGPU without dropping below 16 GB RAM. As a result, the ROG Flow Z13 (curr. $2,799 on Amazon) may be a better option for Strix Halo fans who want more than 32 GB RAM.
Still, the FA401EA combines AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 392 APU with a 165 Hz display that outputs at 2.5K and 400 nits. Also, the 14-inch laptop features a 73 Wh battery, 100 W charging via USB Type-C and a keyboard that delivers 1.7 mm of key travel. Please see our launch article for more details.
