ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Honest Insights
Hello there, it’s Marcniel, here to give some insights on the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Touch-Screen Gaming Laptop. After four weeks of use, the ROG Flow Z13 has truly exceeded my expectations. Its unique form factor as a 13.4-inch tablet-style laptop with a detachable keyboard is not only functional but also incredibly fun to use. The build quality is superb, and while it might be slightly heavier than a Microsoft Surface, it remains portable enough to be my go-to device for work and play when traveling. The laptop boasts an impressive 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM at 8000 MHz, which is more than enough to handle multitasking and ensure that your applications run seamlessly. Coupled with a 1TB SSD, you’ll enjoy lightning-fast boot times and quick access to your files and games. The storage capacity is ample enough, but for those who need even more space, the MicroSD slot offers a convenient solution for additional storage. The startup experience on the ROG Flow Z13 is nothing short of spectacular. The flashy logo and sound effects make you feel like you’re stepping into a Cyberpunk game, setting the tone for an exciting user experience. Setting up the device is straightforward, typical of any Windows-based computer, and I appreciate the flexibility to adjust the Video Memory allocation to suit my needs. Currently, I’ve allocated 16GB of memory from the 64GB RAM, and I highly recommend opting for the 64GB version over the 32GB for just $100 more. It’s a worthwhile investment for enhanced performance. When it comes to device warranties, ASUS offers the standard 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. However, the 64GB version is exclusively available from two retailers, as per ASUS’s website. One of these retailers is Best Buy. If you purchase the device from Best Buy, you have the option to sign up for their Best Buy Protection. This extended coverage extends the warranty to up to 24 months, in addition to the default 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. It’s essential to note that the ASUS Premium Care extended warranty package does not apply to units purchased from Best Buy, as stated in the ASUS Premium Care Terms and Conditions. Therefore, if you prefer an extended warranty, you might want to consider opting for the Best Buy Protection instead. The 13.4-inch IPS Touch Screen panel with a 180Hz refresh rate is a standout feature. While I rarely use the touchscreen, having it available is a nice touch, especially for those who prefer touch input. However, I do wish ASUS had opted for an OLED or Mini-LED panel to enhance the visual experience further. Battery life is a crucial factor for portable devices, and the ROG Flow Z13 delivers with a 70-watt-hour capacity. It’s sufficient for travel, and I recommend turning off the RGB lighting to conserve battery when on the go. Gaming on battery will drain it faster, but for casual use, it’s quite impressive. The 200-watt charger, while powerful, could benefit from being USB Type-C and more compact to reduce bag weight. The left side of the device offers two USB Type-C ports that support DisplayPort and Power Delivery, enabling data transfer speeds up to 40 gigabits per second, along with an HDMI port. On the right side, you’ll find a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port and a 3.5mm audio jack. This diverse range of ports ensures seamless connectivity for all your peripherals. The front-facing speakers deliver decent sound quality. It features a 5-megapixel infrared camera and built-in 3-microphone arrays, making it suitable for Windows Hello login and video calls. The 13-megapixel rear camera is a nice addition, although I personally don’t use it. The chiclet-style keyboard features 1-zone RGB backlighting, providing an average typing experience. However, I’ve noticed that my oily fingers tend to leave smudges on the keys, necessitating regular cleaning. In conclusion, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is an exceptional portable gaming laptop that combines power, versatility, and a unique design. Its impressive specifications, coupled with its sleek form factor, make it an excellent choice for those seeking a device that can handle both work and gaming with ease. While the price tag might be a consideration, the performance and features are reasonable for the investment. If portability and casual gaming are your priorities, the ROG Flow Z13 is definitely worth a look. https://youtu.be/SXII96LBtOU

Great for comfort, performance, and portability.
I absolutely adore this thing, and couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a powerful, portable, and creative-friendly machine. It’s also great for gaming on the go. On battery, this thing performs better than essentially all laptops on the market at this point. Meaning, you can get great performance with great battery life (a combo people don’t expect from laptops). Pros: - Performance/Watt is absolutely insane on this thing! On battery, at all power levels, you can out perform every laptop on the market while also achieving a longer battery life. For example, you can lower your TDP to 15watts and still game at Low-Medium settings w/ 60 FPS and ~4.6 hours of battery life (70WH battery / 15 w/h = 4.6 hours of use). - Portability. This thing is tiny, and it packs a punch. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?! Lol. - Microsoft Pen Protocol support. The pen support is great! I’m a 3D character artist for games, and I’m comfortably able to use this in every part of my workflow (painting, sculpting, etc). This thing is perfect for creative workflows, especially if you’re looking to work on the go. - Great Screen. - Great Battery life… if you know what you’re doing. Use the TDP BAT menu (you can find it on GitHub). For browsing, I recommend 7 watts. Gaming (low settings), 15 Watts. Gaming (medium-high settings), 18-25 watts. - Decent Camera - Perfect amount of IO - Easy to Upgrade Cons: - There aren’t any cases for this thing! Why?! - It only has one M.2 (2230) slot. - MPP hover detection could use some work (not the fault of this laptop, Microsoft needs to update the MPP drivers). - Poor Battery life - If you don’t know what you’re doing. If you’re not willing to mess with the system’s TDP (super easy to do, btw), you will not get very good battery life. - No HDMI in. - Not a deal breaker, but this would have been a cool feature. - Kickstand gets a little annoying if you’re working on your lap.

Two-in-one? Nah, All-in-one.
After being disappointed by a Surface Pro laptop that I bought, I wanted to get a laptop that could do similar things with a bit of power behind it. This laptop is one of two products I saw on the market that met my needs, the other of which was also made by ASUS. I find myself frequenly thinking about how great this laptop is, as it truly is everything I wantedThe touchscreen and pen support makes this device great for creative work in harder to run applications like blender renders, and the battery supports high power loads too. For less intensive work, such as drawing, writing or using photo editing software, this laptop will ace the task with long battery life to boot. For when you need to relax, this laptop can play anything you give it, but you might want to bring the charger. It also has a camera on the front and back, which though low resolution, can still be helpful for scanning documents or other things- but you won't be taking photos with this guy, not with the size and weight. The kickstand is sturdy too and everything feels highly quality. The only issue I've faced is poor out of the box audio tuning, but you can make it sound way better using the Dolby Atmos included app, just search up the audio problems to find a reddit post with the information to make it sound great. Overall, I love this device, and if you can stomach the price and want something high-end, consider giving this a try. Also, it has a cool intro.
