I like liking things. It's one of my favourite parts of this job. I like picking up a new piece of hardware that's not needlessly hobbled by marketing constraints, not blown out by some sort of misplaced egotism, not over-designed to the pain point of distraction. Just good, well-made, performant pieces of hardware. Those are a genuine pleasure.
Now, at this point my review of the Asus TUF A14 gaming laptop could go either way. I could throw up some Tory boi Clarkson-esque, gravel-voiced switchback, with a "...but that's not what we get here" style zinger, or I could be setting up a glowing rundown of all the reasons why I think this is one of the best 14-inch gaming laptops I've ever tested.
