I’ve always been a big fan of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, the brand’s go-to machine for slimline portability while still looking and feeling great in the hands. The TUF series just whisked the G14 off that throne. A latecomer to Asus’s 2024 slate, this 14-inch AMD device looks like a previous generation Zephyrus with the price tag of a modern lower mid-range rig.
The Asus TUF A14 is one of the few compact gaming laptops released in 2024, but it’s a growing contingent and a key battleground for brands looking to provide hybrid work / play machines. With HP, Acer, and Razer all bringing smaller machines to market in more recent years, the competition is heating up. The latest generation looks a little different, though.
