ASUS Unveils the Ultraportable TUF Gaming A14 Powered by Ryzen AI Max+ in Malaysia
TL;DR: ASUS Malaysia has launched the 1.48kg TUF Gaming A14 featuring the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 processor. The ultraportable laptop boasts a 50 TOPS NPU for local AI processing, a 95W max TDP, dual SSD slots, and Type-C charging. It is available now for RM7,599.
ASUS Malaysia has officially announced the all-new TUF Gaming A14 (FA401EA), bringing a new level of power and efficiency to the ultraportable gaming market. Housed in a lightweight 14-inch chassis, the new laptop is the first in the TUF series to feature the next-generation AMD Ryzen AI Max 300 Series processor.
Serious Power and Local AI Processing
At the heart of the TUF Gaming A14 is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 processor with integrated Radeon 8060S Graphics. This unique chiplet design hosts both the CPU and GPU cores on the same die, allowing them to share a large pool of memory seamlessly. With 12 CPU cores and 40 compute units for the GPU, it easily handles the latest AAA games and esports titles while simultaneously managing background streams or communication apps.
A standout feature is the built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which is capable of 50 TOPS of AI performance. This allows the laptop to support large language models and run AI tasks locally, such as hand gesture detection, eye gaze correction, and Windows Copilot tools like email summarisation. By running these tasks directly on the device rather than the cloud, users experience lower power consumption, zero wait times, and enhanced privacy.
Ultraportable Design with Robust Cooling
Despite packing serious performance, the TUF Gaming A14 is designed specifically for gamers on the go. It weighs just 1.48kg and measures a mere 1.69cm thick.
To keep the system cool under heavy loads, ASUS has engineered an advanced thermal solution that allows for a maximum TDP of 95W in Manual Mode, offering exceptional gaming performance for its size class. The cooling system features upgraded 97-blade fans capable of moving significantly more air than previous generations. This is aided by micro-holes in the keyboard deck that draw in fresh air to keep the user’s hands cool during marathon sessions.
Upgradability and Convenience
The device does not compromise on expandability. It features fast quad-channel LPDDR5X memory and includes two M.2 2280 SSD slots, giving users the freedom to upgrade their storage capacity significantly. For added mobility, the laptop supports USB Type-C power delivery, enabling easy charging on the move with wide device compatibility.
Pricing and Availability
The ASUS TUF Gaming A14 (2026) FA401EA is available now at ASUS authorised resellers across Malaysia, with an official retail price of RM7,599.
