We're rapidly approaching a point where integrated graphics could potentially dethrone entry-level discrete GPUs. They're good enough for the best handheld gaming PCs, and now Asus is trying it in a laptop.
At CES 2026, the company is putting AMD's Strix Halo into the Asus TUF Gaming A14, a thin gaming laptop. It has tried this once before, putting a version in the Flow Z13 tablet. But with its standard clamshell design, the A14 is a much more appealing machine to more people. We've previously had versions of this laptop earn spots on our best gaming laptops list.

Asus' spec sheet says that the company is using a version of Strix Halo with 12 cores and 40 compute units. That lines up with the Ryzen AI Max+ 392, which AMD announced last night.

As far as gaming PCs go, the A14 is thin at 0.67 inches at its sleekest point, though it maxes out at 0.78 inches thick. The system weighs 3.6 pounds.
The system supports up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, as well as a 2560 x 1600, 165Hz display. All of this suggests that this version of the A14 won't be priced at a budget level and may be sold as a premium option. Asus didn't announce a release date or price as of publishing.
