10,737
Published 2024-08-07
14-inch laptops—are they the perfect size? They offer a more portable body with gaming chutzpah, yet they are still pretty expensive. That is, until today! (Well, kinda.) With a more accessible pricetag, will Alex think this is the new 14-inch gaming laptop to beat?

These would be better if Riley was oiled up

This laptop is literally DOA when the Asus Tuf A14 literally has the new Ryzen 300 CPUs, has two SSD slots, and has 32 GB of RAM as an option.
-
Yeah no, for 1600 dollars with only one ssd slot and memory that is soldered down, it feels like there are better options out there.
-
Not meeting the min specs for AI is a selling point, not a downside.
-
Sorry, but 16 GB of soldered RAM is unacceptable for a gaming laptop in 2024, especially one that is supposed to last for more than 2 years!
-
i knew the moment he said "we're going to compare it to a macbook" i was in for slaughter time
-
I'm only here for the laptops and phone, and cars too
-
There is no excuse for the speakers on a 14" gaming laptop to face away from a user's ears!
-
16GB VRAM should be common nowadays, but they're screwing the consumers as hard as they can. I loathe Business Management's greed...
-
The usb pd 3.1 standard, that came out in 2021 supports 240W. So they absolutely could do USB-C.
-
I'm too broke for this
-
I can live with a crap webcam and bad speakers on a gaming laptop. At least the screen is better than average.
-
I randomy got on that channel
-
Buy a Nitro with one of the better GPUs, it’s memory isn’t soldered in and it has more SSD slot
-
Alex!
-
Will y'all be doing a video on the Asus ProArt PX13?
-
It is not cheap.... Cheapest I got was 1,499$
-
The Predator is the laptop of choice for all popular Minecraft streamers
-
Hopefully this laptop doesnt go after minors...
