On paper, the TUF Gaming A14 seems to be an excellent pick for anybody wanting to purchase a tiny gaming laptop, which is a rarity.
While the new A14, particularly the Ryzen AI 9 chipset type, may not match the TUF series’ reputation for affordability, it does provide a lot for the money.

The TUF Gaming A14 has a simple look, and nothing says it’s a gaming laptop. all has a metal cover with a matte finish and the TUF logo, but that’s all.
There is no RGB lighting on the laptop, however four system LEDs make a ‘X’ pattern on the slightly projecting back edge. This is most noticeable with the lid closed.
The bottom panel is also metal, and is mostly covered in diamond-shaped intake grilles. The rear edge houses the exhaust ports. When you open up the lid, you’ll find matte finish plastic panels, which tend to pick up some fingerprints and smudges.
There are two hinges holding the top half, which seem sturdy and can go a full 180 degrees.
