ASUS TUF Gaming A14 (2026) FA401EA
A 1.48kg TUF Gaming A14 running the twelve-core Ryzen AI MAX+ 392 with Radeon 8060S graphics, 32GB of memory and a 165Hz 2.5K screen.
The TUF Gaming A14 FA401EA takes a different route to performance. Instead of a separate graphics card it uses AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ 392, a twelve-core, twenty-four-thread processor with Radeon 8060S graphics built in and 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 alongside it. The result is a 1.48kg machine with far fewer moving parts to feed.
That approach shows up in the everyday details. Graphics share the system memory rather than a fixed pool, so the 32GB is available where it is needed, and the 14-inch 2560 x 1600 panel runs at 165Hz with 100% sRGB coverage and an anti-glare finish. A 50 TOPS AMD XDNA neural processor handles on-device AI work.
Ideal For
At 1.48kg with a 73Wh battery and USB Type-C Power Delivery charging, this is a machine you can carry daily and top up from a compact adapter.
Twelve cores, 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD suit rendering, compiling and editing, with 100% sRGB coverage on the panel for consistent colour.
An AMD XDNA neural processor rated up to 50 TOPS runs local AI tasks, and the unified memory design means large models are not boxed into a small video buffer.
Key Features
The Ryzen AI MAX+ 392 offers twelve cores and twenty-four threads from a 3.2GHz base to 5.0GHz, with 80MB of cache for heavy multi-threaded work.
Very fast onboard memory matters more than usual here, because the Radeon 8060S graphics draw on the same pool rather than a separate bank of video memory.
A 14-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS-level panel at 165Hz with an anti-glare finish and 100% sRGB coverage, in a 16:10 shape that suits documents as well as games.
Measuring 311 by 227mm and 16.9 to 19.9mm thick at 1.48kg, the A14 is one of the lighter machines with this much processing power inside.
A 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD fills one of the two M.2 slots, so storage can be extended later without replacing the drive already fitted.
A USB4 Type-C port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery, a second USB Type-C with DisplayPort, two USB Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1 FRL and a microSD reader.
Integrated graphics, but not as usual
Radeon 8060S is integrated in the sense that it shares a package and a memory pool with the processor, not in the sense that it is an afterthought. Because it draws on the 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 rather than a fixed video buffer, it is not constrained the way a small discrete card with a fixed 8GB can be. It also means one heat source instead of two, which is part of why the machine weighs 1.48kg.
A 165Hz panel honest about colour
The 14-inch display runs 2560 x 1600 at 165Hz, which is fast enough for most games and pleasant for scrolling and cursor work in everyday use. It is an IPS-level panel with an anti-glare finish covering 100% of sRGB, so web, print and video work in the standard colour space is dependable. The 16:10 aspect ratio gives roughly ten per cent more vertical space than a 16:9 screen of the same width.
Where the extra memory actually helps
Thirty-two gigabytes is generous for a 14-inch laptop, and on this design it does double duty. The processor uses it for compiles, renders and virtual machines, and the Radeon 8060S draws on the same pool for graphics and for local AI work through the 50 TOPS neural processor. That flexibility is the argument for this configuration: instead of dividing a fixed amount between system and video memory, the machine allocates what each job needs. The trade is that the memory is soldered and set for the life of the laptop.
How It Compares
| What You Need | Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Software development | Twelve cores, 80MB cache | Compiles and container builds spread across twenty-four threads, with cache to keep the cores fed. |
| Local AI models | 50 TOPS XDNA neural processor | On-device inference runs without a discrete card, drawing on the same 32GB pool as everything else. |
| All-day lecture notes | 1.48kg with USB-C charging | Light enough to carry between rooms, and a Power Delivery charger covers a full timetable of classes. |
| Everyday gaming | 165Hz 2560 x 1600 panel | A high refresh rate and 2.5K resolution on a 16:10 screen, driven by Radeon 8060S graphics. |
| Video calls | 1080p FHD IR camera | A clear picture with AI noise cancellation on the microphones and Windows Hello sign-in built in. |
| Storage growth | Second free M.2 slot | A spare PCIe slot means you can add capacity later rather than replacing the 1TB drive already there. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- Ryzen AI MAX+ 392 with twelve cores and 80MB cache
- 32GB LPDDR5X-8533 shared with the graphics
- 14-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS-level panel at 165Hz
- 100% sRGB coverage with an anti-glare finish
- 1.48kg in a 311 x 227mm chassis
- 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD with a second M.2 slot free
- USB4 at 40Gbps plus HDMI 2.1 FRL
Considerations
- There is no discrete graphics card; the Radeon 8060S is integrated and shares the system memory rather than having its own.
- Memory is soldered LPDDR5X, so the 32GB fitted at the factory cannot be increased at any later date.
- The keyboard backlight is a single colour rather than per-key RGB, and there is no Ethernet socket on the chassis.
