ASUS - ROG Flow X13 2-in-1 13.4" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 - 32GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - 1TB SSD - Off Black-Supernova Edition

Simply the best mobile PC gaming solution I can think of. I've waited years for a solution like this. I can't wait to see how this product line evolves over time. Count me in!

Fastest thin and light convertible Tablet PC. Literally has 3 GPU options, built in AMD iGPU, discrete internal NVidia GTX 1650, AND an external docking station that just happens to have an NVidia RTX 3080. Rocking in at over $3K, it might come as a shock, since it's listed as having GTX 1650. Nowhere in the item title does it list that it comes with the XG Mobile RTX 3080 external GPU dock. You have to scroll way down into the specs to see that it's included. Really poor item description on Best Buy's part. Or is it? Hear me out. I bought this gaming laptop in 2021 where it's nearly impossible to buy a high end graphics card. But since Best Buy buried the words RTX 3080 deep in the specs list, I'm guessing it doesn't get a lot of attention or get easily flagged by scalping bots. So either very careless of Best Buy OR, extremely clever. This laptop was so much easier to buy, as it remains in stock for a very long time when it's back up for sale, unlike other GPU's and gaming laptops, which are gone within milliseconds. As for the laptop? It is the fastest thin and light I've ever used. Doesn't get hot at all with normal use, and is very quiet. But when it needs to, the fans do crank up a lot when you really hammer the CPU and internal GPU. But the fan noise is definitely not as annoying as some whiny, high pitched turbo fan sounds from many Lenovo laptops I've used. The XG Mobile eGPU with RTX 3080 is the real draw here. It's roughly equivalent to a desktop 3070, but for it's size, it's amazing. I love that you don't even need to use the USB-C power brick, as it has power supply built in. Both Laptop and eGPU weigh 5lbs together. Laptop is 2.8lbs, eGPU is 2.2lbs. eGPU puts out some serious heat, though, I wish they had aimed the vent backwards, rather than the same direction as the cable. The Cable is not long enough to allow you to easily place it so that it's not blowing hot air into your face or at the computer. Internally, the RAM is soldered, which isn't a huge deal as this one comes with 32GB. But the tiny NVME SSD is kind of a headscratcher. Sure it's upgradeable, but the shortest stick config for M.2 is rare. I really think they could've fit a longer stick format there. Other downside is the Pen. Oh wait. Did you know there's a pen included? Neither did I, until I opened up the packaging. Another thing not listed in the item title. Unfortunately is NTrig, old school Microsoft surface type digitizer. I tried Wacom AES 2.0 pen, and they do not work. But NTrig is better than nothing. Last gripe, the LCD. 4K on a 13" screen is ridiculous overkill. They really should've fit a 1440P screen with 90-120Hz instead. Overall, THE most powerful convertible laptop with one of the most powerful mobile GPU's. Dream machine that does nearly everything, but with a very expensive price tag.

I got this laptop to use as both an everyday and a CAD computer and honestly it does both of those well. When I am viewing a pdf, I can use it as a tablet and treat it like an iPad, and when I am doing more traditional tasks like Solid Works or word processing, the keyboard ends up being nice to type on. the trackpad and the touch screen are precise and the lcd looks incredible. My only negative (if I had to find one) is that it can get pretty warm, but it is not painful and that to me is an okay tradeoff for the elevated level of processing power in this small of a package. The docking station connects easily and only takes a moment to connect and boosts performance significantly. Overall if you are looking for a powerful yet very portable computer, I would highly recommend this one.

Instead of carrying around and maintaining two different devices, I wanted to be able to draw on the same device that I also did CAD on. This was one of two devices that I thought could do the job. I bought this and the Surface Book 3 with a quadro graphics card. The X13 outperformed the other one and was $1000 cheaper. This was an incredible value for what it does. I give it a 4.5/5 because the webcam is only 720p, and the screen does not get very bright.

For now i am giving it a 3 out 5 stars. Reason is that the internal GPU (1650) card was faulty and would not show up in device manager or on the Nvidia app saying no graphics card detected. I went to the Asus support chat and they gave me a work around and that didn't work - I had to completely re-install windows and the driver showed up, The other is the external GPU be careful when un plugging it after your tell the computer to detach, When i did this there are two clamps on GPU adaptor (going to the computer) you have to really push in to get it out and sometimes that doesnt work and it ended up bending the two clamps and it made it hard to put back in. I did return it and i hope this one doesnt have that many issues, Once i get the new device and it doesnt repeat what happened i would give this a 5 out 5 As for gaming on both the 1650 and the 3080 it does a great job on AAA titles - now there is the competition with the Razer 14 with a 3070 already built in so you don need to have external device....just sayinng

I replaced one, so far so good, the previous has e graphic card connection issue, but this new one pretty good. like the design of this laptop.

I live in a bus and this is the best mobile gaming solution for mw

Great machine. XG mobile works great. Seamless transition.
