14-inch 165 Hz Copilot+ gaming laptop

The ASUS TUF Gaming A14B26 pairs an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU in a 14-inch chassis. Sixteen gigabytes of LPDDR5x 7500 memory and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD support fast load times. The 2560 x 1600 non-touch panel refreshes at 165 Hz for smooth motion. Windows 11 Home and Copilot+ PC features ship pre-installed.

Thermals, noise and power draw in daily use

The compact 12.24 by 8.94 by 0.67-0.78 inch frame weighs 3.22 lbs and relies on the TUF thermal design to manage the Ryzen AI 300 Series chip and RTX 5060 GPU. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 handle wireless duties without adding significant heat. One HDMI 2.1 port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports provide connectivity while the fans stay quiet during light workloads.

Sustained-load behaviour rather than burst

Under extended gaming or compute sessions the eight-core Ryzen AI 7 350 and its 16 MB L3 cache maintain clocks while the RTX 5060 Laptop GPU with 8 GB GDDR7 video memory drives the 165 Hz display. The 1 TB NVMe SSD sustains throughput without thermal throttling. Fan speed ramps up to keep the slim profile stable during long renders or multi-hour play sessions.

Questions about this item

How do I install a second NVMe drive in the FA401KM-DS74 and what step do people miss?

The laptop ships with a single 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD installed; the chassis has only one M.2 slot, so a second drive cannot be added — buyers who order a second stick find nowhere to fit it.

Which component will need replacement first during the laptop's life?

The 16 GB LPDDR5x 7500 memory is soldered to the mainboard and the maximum supported capacity is 16 GB, so the RAM can never be upgraded or replaced without a full board swap.

What thermal limit appears first when the Ryzen AI 7 350 and RTX 5060 run flat-out for long sessions?

The 3.22 lb chassis measures only 0.67–0.78 in thick, leaving minimal heatsink volume; sustained loads push CPU and GPU clocks down within minutes as the cooling saturates.
