Asus TUF Gaming A14 2024 (A401WU) Overview

Design and Display

The Asus TUF A14 (A401WU) is notable for its compact design, measuring just 1.69mm thick and weighing under 1.5 kg. It is both portable and durable, thanks to a CNC-milled chassis with military-grade toughness, making it perfect for daily use. The device is available in a Jaeger Grey colourway with minimal bezels, featuring a 1080p IR webcam at the top.

The 16:10 2.5K IPS display delivers sharp visuals, offers anti-glare protection, and provides a vibrant 100% sRGB colour range. More importantly, the Asus TUF A14 (A401WU) runs at a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, ideal for gaming. Additionally, with G-Sync support, the screen ensures fluid gameplay. The inclusion of a MUX Switch and NVIDIA’s Advanced Optimus further enhances display performance, giving users the flexibility to switch between integrated and discrete GPUs for better efficiency.

Performance and the Rest

Under the hood, the Asus TUF A14 (A401WU) is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and RTX 4060 GPU. The CPU is built on a 4nm node and features 12 cores and 24 threads. Moreover, it clocks at a maximum of up to 5.1 GHz on a single core. It also integrates a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), handling AI workloads efficiently. Although the Radeon 780M is there for graphical support, the dedicated NVIDIA GPU will do all the heavy lifting with up to 100W boost power.

However, thermal constraints in the chassis limit its full potential. The laptop’s cooling system relies on ultra-thin fans and heatsinks connecting both the CPU and GPU. Unfortunately, 16GB is the maximum RAM capacity you get on the Asus TUF A14 (A401WU. But the SSD is upgradeable, with support for up to 2TB. Connectivity includes two Type-C ports, two USB 3 Type-A ports, a full-sized HDMI, a microSD reader, and a headphone jack. Finally, with a large 73Wh battery and efficient Ryzen processor, the TUF A14 offers long battery life and hybrid usage, supported by Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
