I owned this tablet for about a month and a half and ended up exchanging it for the non-KJP 128GB Z13 Flow. I love the aesthetics and what it could've been, but the issues were not worth dealing with and waiting for ASUS to eventually come up with a solution, if ever, was not something I was going to wait for and/or be stuck with a tablet that was only 80% capable. Love the looks and overall feel of the tablet. From the moment you turn it on, you feel as though the device was just made for you. When I fist got the tablet, the first problem I was having with was the touchpad. It felt as though it only felt my finger about 60% of the time. Two finger scrolling was even less so. Then the real problems came when trying to play games and the whole tablet would freeze and hard to do a hard reset as no key stroke combinations worked to get out of the game. Sound was playing, screen was frozen and could not do anything. The tablet worked well while surfing the web and working in office products, no issues there. Just playing the games and touchpad were the real main issues. I first tried a clean install of Windows 11 and installing the drivers manually, also tried some suggestions from Reddit. Ultimately, I felt it was in my best interest now, to go ahead and return this tablet recoup $1000... take advantage of the ASUS promo this Memorial Day weekend. Hope this helps anyone. I think ASUS has a great product and I would've kept it if the issues didn't bother me so much. I have no idea when the fixes will be worked out. I have the Best Buy Total protection membership and was able to get a full refund/credit towards the non-KJP version. I highly recommend getting some kind of protection for these devices.

I’ve been really enjoying the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (KJP). It’s surprisingly powerful for how small it is—runs newer games like Crimson Desert really smoothly and looks great while doing it. The best part, though, is how portable it is. It’s super easy to carry around, but still feels like a legit gaming machine. Definitely a great pick if you want strong performance without being stuck at a desk.

I knew going in that this had the exact same specs as the standard version, but even though I'm not a Kojima mega-fan, the styling and the carrying case totally won me over. It honestly feels like a "Super Surface" tablet, and even the Surface pen works better on it than the ASUS pen does. Overall, I'm incredibly impressed. Between the 395 chip, FSR, and Frame Gen, games run beautifully. I wish this had an OLED display but this display is still pretty good, especially at 180hz. It’s not a pure, top-end gaming machine for the price, but gaming isn't why you buy this. The real magic is the 128GB of RAM that can split off up to 96GB of that purely for VRAM to run massive AI models. It’s not as fast as a desktop setup, but buying enough RTX 5090s/5080s to match that VRAM pool would cost way more than this whole tablet. If you just want the AI performance and want to save some cash, look at the ProArt PX13 GoPro Edition instead—it’s a normal laptop layout but saves you about $700. Or, if you want the tablet, watch for the normal Z13 variant (with same 395 chip and 128GB RAM) to drop to $2,800. Either way, it's a stellar machine that handles everything I throw at it. I am not so thrilled about the battery life...probably get abour 2-3 hours for productivity use. I haven't tested the battery life with gaming but I've seen some reviewers mention about a 1-2 battery life for gaming. I would imagine running the big AI models on battery would be similar to gaming battery life, since it's going to try to run max performance to process. As mentioned earlier, the ASUS pen does not work so well on this tablet but if you can grab the Surface pen, that works better. The biggest sin of this machine is its very limited expandibility. To be fair, 128GB RAM is way more than I could ever wish for, but that 1TB 2232 drive was disappointing. So far, I've only found up to 2TB for 2232 drives and the price in today's market is very depressing. However, good thing is both USB-C ports are capable up to 40Gbps so if you can get a fast external, you can expand that way, but again, very expensive in today's market.
