Hey Jarrod, your review of the ASUS TUF A14 was insightful! I appreciate how you compared it to the Zephyrus G14, making it easier for viewers to see the value. I’d love to discuss how my agency can assist you with brand partnerships while you keep creating such engaging content!
Managed to buy the A16 but with the RX7700s a few months ago for $700, insane deal. 100%srgb, 16:10 ratio, 4060-like performance and 10h battery life, there's so much value it's crazy
if you play some moderate or other titles that favor amd its actually as fast as a top tier 4070 at the least you will get a 4060 performance even in Nvidia sponsored titles
ASUS kind of implied to me that they would do one with SODIMM next year, but apparently it's been cancelled for unknown reasons. My understanding is the limitation is AMD, why, I am not sure.
@@JarrodsTech One supposition could be that AMD wants the advantage of speed with soldered RAM. You can't run SODIMM RAM beyond DDR5-6400 at stock and AMD generally locks down RAM OC on every laptop. With LPDDR5(X)-7500 or 8000, it would give a better picture of what the iGPU part is able to do, and it still benefits to the CPU. In every case though, these laptops are just too expensive especially in Europe. Any Intel laptop CPU counterpart at their price ties with or beats the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, while getting a way better dGPU and not needing soldered RAM either.
@@cameronbosch1213 LPCAMM2 isn't available for sale now. It entered JEDEC specs last year, but it doesn't seem like it's ready yet. Laptop manufacturers are probably still working on board design or best case they're entering mass-production now. We will most likely still have to wait at least 1 year to see them coming.
For me, the biggest issue with the G14 is the lack of a second SSD slot, the 16 GB RAM unles you spend $2000, which is insanely stupid, and the older CPU. I'm more interested in a Zen 5 Razer Blade 14!
This TUF’s 32GB variant may just be the one 2024 model I would buy. Two m.2 slots and you can do anything you like without any problems… wow. Great video Jarrod, you sold me on this one.
Theres an offer for 1350€ 32gb ram ryzen 7, rtx 60....a14...for ryzen 9 ai its 1700€, but almost at that price i can get rtx 4070 and ryzen 9 of g14.... whats worth more? P.d a14 has more wattage than g14.
@WHMan02 I would definitely worry about that, I've never used an OLED monitor or TV of any kind so I'm not as familiar. I would enjoy giving it a shot though
Nope that use to be the case last time but now not really....been using on multiple device ...dont give wrong info if you have zero clue on the latest g14 @@WHMan02
This can be an amazing laptop but it costs like 2000 USD in India for the top config and that's the only one with RTX 4060, 8845HS with 4050 is around 400 USD cheaper but again, not really worth it.
Really confusing why the power limit is not higher, since the thermals clearly allow it, and why there isn't a 4070 version. But thank you for the review!
@@ZaBruhBn No, I'm referring to the CPU+GPU combined limit. As seen in the video, the 4060 can't reach 100W. Because the max power for both is 110W, and the CPU uses 23-35W.
Nah man, benelux is super expensive and even rare to find in stores, if even findable good luck buying it at msrp not including atleast 20 procent vat and a premium.
I rather buy this then a new 2024 G14 or a 2023 model. 2 reasons 1) This is military grade and looks professional, plus its 14 inch and very light. Thus i dont need to carry a cement brick 24/7. 2) i hate OLED, matte IPS ftw Oled are cool, but for someone like me, who is a AI developer dealing with burn-ins is a drama i dont want to live with. Also those 50 TOPS would be handy for like setting up a SDXL locally or reconfigure it with docker to run models locally through my MLops solution. 16GB soldered ram is no issue, as my 32gb ram desktop never even reaches over 16gb ram usage. Ngl most developers i know, run their codes on the cloud or remotly from a server. So 16GB ddr 5 ram is future proof for atleast the next 6 years for programmer/developers with light to medium gaming habit.
Im waiting for your recommendation video on the next black Friday and cyber Monday and when it's the best time to buy like what are a reasonable price that cannot get any lower for a good deal so we grab it as soon as we see it ❤
ASUS also has the TUF A16 2024 FA608, which does have an RTX 4070. The naming of the two TUF A16s is confusing. Also, I would like to see new reviews of the laptop coolers that seal the cooling area at the bottom of the laptop, such as the IETS GT600V2 or Ilano V10 or V12.
With all the sales going on, this is a bit overpriced, as you pointed out. I'm kinda meh on the "ai" hx 370 when I heard they gimped avx 512 in it. My biggest issue, I have a 3070 from 2021. Pretty sure the 4060 isn't an upgrade.
Nope, it isn't. It's all about power savings with Ada. You're getting similar, it slightly better performance for a massive power cut and a significant price hike.
Hello Jarrod have been watching you for a while. In your opinion is it worth it to wait for 50 series laptops (5060 - 5080) and miss out on Black Friday or buy a laptop (around 4060 - 4070 unless an amazing deal on 4080)? I have a feeling that the difference between the 4050/60/70 and 5060/70 will only be incremental like last time. Thanks.
I'd hold off on buying something unless you really need it, because once the 50 series GPUs come out, the last generation laptops will be cheaper anyway. Plus, you'll have time to make a more informed decision between 40 series and 50 series GPUs. This is just my opinion though.
Great review, Jarrod! Been waiting for this one. I actually like the look of the A14 better and would prefer the second m.2 slot over the third fan. The issue, as you pointed out, is the price. Currently in the US at Best Buy, the A14 is $1400 while the G14 is on sale for $1250. Doesn't make sense to pick up the A14 for the extra money. The G14 will most likely go even cheaper for Black Friday (lowest G14 price was $1099) in a few weeks whereas I doubt the A14 would match that being so new as you mentioned. Shame as it looks like it would be a good laptop.
I just got a g16 with 4080 after watching your videos for 3 years XD I wanted to know is it ok to buy a 65W usb c charger instead of a 100W one? 65W is smaller compared to 100W, but doesn't charge with full speed. Does it have a negative effect on the battery alone?
My problem is, these massive deals for the Zephyrus are nowhere in my country 😅 and this TUF model looks absolutely decent! I've been eyeing this and a Lenovo yoga pro 7 with rtx 4050 and intel ultra 7 155h, which is not marketed as a gaming laptop, but it can run games, I am just not sure how well, and for how long tho.
Hi Jarrod big fan, a bit unrelated to the video question if u dont mind; can we expect the drop in prices(for laptops) for rtx 40 series since both Black friday and rtx 50 series are at the door? Much appreciated.
Looking for a value gaming laptop to play WOW and no top tier games. Does the Lenovo Loq on your website still come ahead of say the Asus tuf a15? Heard a bit about intel chips being not so reliable?

I know we are very close to B Friday and I should probably bide my time.....?
Just bought one there's just this annoying issue where it automatocally disconnects to wifi. Dont know if the problem's with windows 11. Any suggestion fix?
Soldered RAM, that sucks. I think you can get away with a 90% battery charge and still have good longevity. The smaller price reduction means that ASUS is making a bigger profit on this laptop.
I have a 14 inch laptops we with non upgradable ram, got me a maxed out ram of 32 gb and it’s gonna last me for a few years. 2 m.2 slots are great and upgradable Wi-Fi
Any new low to midrange laptops to look out for in the next few months? I'm looking for an upgrade for my old legion y530 and want something around 900euros.
Okay this pretty much confirms it: An A14 with Strix Point is a totally different laptop than a Hawk Point A14 Whenever I run benchmarks, my Ryzen 7 8845HS and RTX 4050 crank straight up to about 165 watts of usage combined. (65 Watts on the CPU and 100 Watts for the GPU. Similarly, my processor also experiences skyrocketing temperatures, regularly breaching 85 degrees. I've also experienced disappointing battery life, which makes it a no-brainer; go for Strix Point, the better battery life and better performance (And running cooler!) makes it a no-brainer.

The base model of the tuf a14 is $500(from ₹)cheaper than the maxed out tuf a14 and $$600 than the base model zephyrus g14. So, the tuf has more value than the zephyrus. I think the zephyrus is for people who need a perfect macbook pro 14 replacement or premium laptop. Yeah, but still both are expensive and unaffordable for most common people unlike the tuf a16 or f16 in india.
16 GB in this day and age... is too little I think. thats the kind of ram size where if you wanna seriously game, you have to close out all the stuff in the background.... and you can't go all out with open tabs and stuff. I doubt it would ever bottleneck a game though, might even perform better because of the higher speeds.
If they can keep the clean design like this one for their laptops next year, I might consider getting a TUF series laptop. It just depends what specs they've got available in my country. (My 12 year old Asus laptop deserves a break once Windows 10 officially ends...but it'll probably live on as a Linux machine still.)
Lol dam. Buying the Helios 300 from 2023 upgradable to 128 ram 2 4tb slots was a happy accident. Even better that i had no takers on it even at $800 3tb 32 ram 3070ti. Mine all mine i guess!
I want to get a gaming laptop, but at this point might as well wait for next year for the new graphics cards and chips. Its been a bad year for gaming laptops,
Hi, are fans audible when on silent and doing easy tasks like browrsing internet? I´ve got myself a legion slim 5 14 and now I m kinda regreting it due to an annoying high sound it makes in this scenario.
The only things that bothers me, is that same as g14 it's only have micro sd cardreader, this is better than nothing, but it's again not an what i and most people need, so it seems slim5.14 is the only choice right now for me, tho i like a/g14 overall design more
i wonder what happens first, i save up enough money for a 4060 laptop or the 5000 series for laptops get released XD (i save up in 50€ steps and sadly only have 200€ saved up for now)
hello i have Lenovo Legion 5 pro rtx 3060 and intel core i5 12500h with metal body and my gpu have 87°C and cpu 95°C i repast notebook but the tempeture is same is that normal?
Hi, I have a question, when I open the nvidia control panel, the option that says "manage display mode" does not appear, so I have no way to use the mux switch without having to reboot, does anyone know how to make it appear?
The answer is, the A14 was built around the Zen 4 Hawk Point CPU. My A14 has one, and the CPU regularly hits 85 degrees under significant load. The Zen 5 CPU consumes what, half the power? Ofc it'll be much cooler.
The TUF A14 (Strix Point version) seems like a rare case of "Too Much, Too Late". Strix Point supposedly costs double the price of Hawk Point and clears every H-tier CPU in performance in premium thin and lights but ended up in a supposedly budget laptop with a 1600p screen, becoming price-uncompetitive against the Zephyrus G14. ASUS thinks they're spoiling us with their first cheap 14" gaming laptop but overdelivered and overpriced it. They should have gone for a 1200p screen with adequate colours and response times and stuck with Hawk Point to cut down price. Then put Strix Point in ROG Strix laptops for the LOLs 😜
This gives less fps in games than my Acer Nitro 5 with i7 12650H and rtx 3070 ti which is cheaper(it costed me around $1000 brand new) than this zephyrus(1440p and 1600p doesn't have a big difference and my lap gives around the same performance as this zephyrus in 4k on an external monitor)

@@eduard.9889 if its not even considered hot, then clearly you are fine. you don't have to try to "rise" it thats for sure. also I am guessing these are heavy use/gaming temps. if this is idle temps then its a problem.
@@eduard.9889 you don't need to carry your case around at all, those are perfect temps. Upto 85c is totally fine. In fact, as long as it doesn't throttle even higher is fine. You can even set max fan speed or turn turbo off if there is ever an issue.

Wait so the Asus Tuf A14 and the F15 is different? Other then just the size screen
Okay this pretty much confirms it: An A14 with Strix Point is a totally different laptop than a Hawk Point A14
Whenever I run benchmarks, my Ryzen 7 8845HS and RTX 4050 crank straight up to about 165 watts of usage combined. (65 Watts on the CPU and 100 Watts for the GPU. Similarly, my processor also experiences skyrocketing temperatures, regularly breaching 85 degrees. I've also experienced disappointing battery life, which makes it a no-brainer; go for Strix Point, the better battery life and better performance (And running cooler!) makes it a no-brainer.

HP Victus 16 (2023) Review - Still the Budget King? 👑
The base model of the tuf a14 is $500(from ₹)cheaper than the maxed out tuf a14 and $$600 than the base model zephyrus g14. So, the tuf has more value than the zephyrus. I think the zephyrus is for people who need a perfect macbook pro 14 replacement or premium laptop. Yeah, but still both are expensive and unaffordable for most common people unlike the tuf a16 or f16 in india.
Hey jarrod can u review the acer predator triton neo 16
which is better ?
- upgradable 5600MHz 32GB
-non-upgradable 7500MHz 16GB
Depends on your situation.
If you are not running heavy AAA games and you are not 3D modeling - 16gb ram.
But if you do, better upgradable 32gb ram
16 GB in this day and age... is too little I think. thats the kind of ram size where if you wanna seriously game, you have to close out all the stuff in the background.... and you can't go all out with open tabs and stuff. I doubt it would ever bottleneck a game though, might even perform better because of the higher speeds.
Its upgradable any kind. I went from 2gb to 4gb to 8gb on asus x501a.
please do a review on all asus laptops and rank them.
Ranking video of all the laptops we've reviewed this year will be coming out this month.
nice laptop, with this high cpu low gpu spec you should try an oculink gen 4 egpu with it
I can't install any ubuntu from 20.04 frome 24.10. How did you do that ?
At this point the TUF lineup is kinda growing on me ngl
If they can keep the clean design like this one for their laptops next year, I might consider getting a TUF series laptop.
It just depends what specs they've got available in my country.
(My 12 year old Asus laptop deserves a break once Windows 10 officially ends...but it'll probably live on as a Linux machine still.)
Lol dam. Buying the Helios 300 from 2023 upgradable to 128 ram 2 4tb slots was a happy accident. Even better that i had no takers on it even at $800 3tb 32 ram 3070ti. Mine all mine i guess!
I want to get a gaming laptop, but at this point might as well wait for next year for the new graphics cards and chips. Its been a bad year for gaming laptops,
Hi, are fans audible when on silent and doing easy tasks like browrsing internet? I´ve got myself a legion slim 5 14 and now I m kinda regreting it due to an annoying high sound it makes in this scenario.
you can set them accordingly. set windows power plan to balanced or power-saving as well.
@ and will that make the laptop silent ? Do you own the tuf a14?
The only things that bothers me, is that same as g14 it's only have micro sd cardreader, this is better than nothing, but it's again not an what i and most people need, so it seems slim5.14 is the only choice right now for me, tho i like a/g14 overall design more
Jarrod you should do a benchmark of the 7700s laptop (a16 advantage) vs the rtx 4060 laptop
I have one in the Framework 16, it's just so niche though - you'll see why in our upcoming "gaming laptops you bought in 2024" video.
@ Preciate the video Jarrod, you also helped me decide whether to get a 1080p or 1440p for my 7700s
They selling it in my country for $1,800 16gb 1tb model. Wtf. Too much. It pushes 2k++ for upgrades. Hurtttts
Please review Omen 16 with ryzen 7 7840hs processor. ❤
Extra M.2 BUT only PCI.E 4.0 x2!
435 nits not bad considering non OLED
Just get a eluktronics. Fully upgradable and can even buy without any ram or ssd
A14 is almost 1000 usd cheaper in my country compared to G14
Do the acer helios 18 and 16 use the same WiFi card?
i wonder what happens first, i save up enough money for a 4060 laptop or the 5000 series for laptops get released XD (i save up in 50€ steps and sadly only have 200€ saved up for now)
Please review the New Legion Slim 5 AMD Ryzen 7 Gen 9 16” 🙏🙏🙏
hello i have Lenovo Legion 5 pro rtx 3060 and intel core i5 12500h with metal body and my gpu have 87°C and cpu 95°C i repast notebook but the tempeture is same is that normal?
Наконец то дождался! У нас в России стоит 1334$
This would've kill g14 if they gave it 4070 gpu...
Hi, I have a question, when I open the nvidia control panel, the option that says "manage display mode" does not appear, so I have no way to use the mux switch without having to reboot, does anyone know how to make it appear?
It probably means your laptop doesn't have advanced optimus.
When is Review of asus tuf a15 coming ?
The best you can give me advice for buyong acer predator helios 16 i9 13 gen and rtx 4080 32 gb ddr5 1 to stockage
there is no way, they actually tuned the temperature to be that low? When did Asus tuf care about temperature lmao, hope its overclockable.
The answer is, the A14 was built around the Zen 4 Hawk Point CPU. My A14 has one, and the CPU regularly hits 85 degrees under significant load. The Zen 5 CPU consumes what, half the power? Ofc it'll be much cooler.
The TUF A14 (Strix Point version) seems like a rare case of "Too Much, Too Late". Strix Point supposedly costs double the price of Hawk Point and clears every H-tier CPU in performance in premium thin and lights but ended up in a supposedly budget laptop with a 1600p screen, becoming price-uncompetitive against the Zephyrus G14. ASUS thinks they're spoiling us with their first cheap 14" gaming laptop but overdelivered and overpriced it. They should have gone for a 1200p screen with adequate colours and response times and stuck with Hawk Point to cut down price.
Then put Strix Point in ROG Strix laptops for the LOLs 😜
Or even ho lower with a 1080p display option.
hawk whatt?
Acer Nitro 16 & V15 review when
Someone who wuthering waves players, please answer me if u know. Is ryzen ai cpu support the 120fps?
YO came back just from my trip off detox.
I think i have seen a14, not sure if it is a older model but ill say its kinda ok,
Please review vivobook pro oled n6506 with core ultra7 and rtx 4060 (110w)
Hey mines soldired ram failed what do I do now it's under warranty
(Hypothetically)
You send the laptop away and presumably they either swap the motherboard, or replace the entire machine.
@JarrodsTech oh thanks for the reply
1,5k for tuf is ridiculous
Maybe 2 in 1 as gaming tablet like big steam deck
G14 has OLED. So unless you want a burn in and headaches for your money -hard pass
im fedup with asus because of network issues and armarycarter
This gives less fps in games than my Acer Nitro 5 with i7 12650H and rtx 3070 ti which is cheaper(it costed me around $1000 brand new) than this zephyrus(1440p and 1600p doesn't have a big difference and my lap gives around the same performance as this zephyrus in 4k on an external monitor)
Question: is the ram soldered dual channel or single channel?
Hey Jarrod. Amazing Video once again!
As we know that BF and Cyber Monday is just few weeks away, can you please make a video on the best laptops of 2024 so far? and also, let us know what are the best deals or discounts that we can expect during the upcoming weeks.
Also, Make a video on RTX-50 series that is expected next year.
Coming up over the next few weeks.
@@JarrodsTech Much Appreciated!
However, I'd like to know if this is good time to purchase Lenovo Legion 7i for 1490$ USD or Lenovo Legion 5i Pro for 1390$ USD. (Both RTX 4070). Both these Laptops are under 34% discount in lenovo's website!!
Or Should I wait till November end (during Black Friday and Cyber Monday)
Do you guys use a cooler? my laptop doesn't get that hot without one 75-80c max but with a cooler but turned off, just using it as a stand, I can get it to 68-70c...but it's just annyoing to carry it with me...(lenovo loq r7 760hs, rtx 4060...) would it be bad using it without it?..
80c is not even hot.
@@EpicBunty I know, that is why i'm saying if it's even worth trying to lower it even more....rising it etc..
@@eduard.9889 if its not even considered hot, then clearly you are fine. you don't have to try to "rise" it thats for sure. also I am guessing these are heavy use/gaming temps. if this is idle temps then its a problem.
@@EpicBunty yep, gaming temps idle is 35-40c
@@eduard.9889 you don't need to carry your case around at all, those are perfect temps. Upto 85c is totally fine. In fact, as long as it doesn't throttle even higher is fine. You can even set max fan speed or turn turbo off if there is ever an issue.
Why Whyyyyyy Why did they release it after I got a new laptop if they released it earlier I would've bought it instead of this one
