Broke my heart!
Posted .I really want to like this laptop but I've owned it for about 2 weeks now and it's crashed more times than I can count. It kicks me out of games and apps constantly. Folders minimize for no reason. Narrator pulls up randomly. Outlook properties don't show (see pic). I've uninstalled/reinstalled with no remedy. This thing just has issue after issue. It's one of the most expensive laptops on the market and either the quirks are from switching from 2 different GPUs or this is just a dud. FYI...I follow the correct process to connect/disconnect the eGPU. Just disappointing because I travel for work and want a portable gaming rig. I was so excited about this but it's been a flop. This will be returned.

Good Computer, Some Reliability Concerns
|Posted .There was a lot I really liked about this computer. The form factor and performance are both excellent. I also really liked the keyboard. For those who don't like a 4K screen at this size, you can set the resolution down to 1080P, that is how I used it and it performs very well. For those who need more battery life at times, you can play around with the power settings and extend the life a decent amount. Unfortunately my unit appeared to be used when it arrived (some minor damage) and the external gpu seemed to die after several weeks. Fortunately I was able to return without any issue (still within the return window), when those issues did arise.

So you wana be a beta tester, eh?
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I can't help but feel like a beta tester. By itself, the laptop is awesome. But for $3,300....Its clunky to use in combination with the XG dock. I wonder why Asus didnt go with Intel/thunderbolt option, but rather this proprietary plug that is only compatible with these 2 units? I would gladly buy the XG dock separately, if it was compatible with other laptops. I don't have a lot of confidence that Asus will further develop this model or eve use the same plug, thus making the XG dock obsolete in 1 year. At least with other eGPUs you can upgrade the GPU when new models are out

Good Concept but with caveats...
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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

Great Package
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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.

Laptop good. Dock unreliable
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Lots of problems with the GPU dock. Had a stuck latch, returned it to BB. New unit had busted USB ports. I did an RMA for it since it would _normally_ be something covered under warranty. The ASUS repair center was literally unable to repair and test it, so they're sending it back?! It's like they don't realize they make docks, so they have no way to warranty them. So: expect problems with the GPU dock and no help from ASUS about it. Skip this generation. It's unfortunate because the laptop is quite good on its own.

Q: QuestionI have been in contact with BestBuy via their chat service, checked last night (3/7) at 10 PM EDT, the product page still said "Coming soon", checked again this morning at 6 AM and it said "Sold out" - is it some kinda "Hunger Game" marketing/sales game!?

Q: QuestionJust hit midnight in arizona at the time of writing this, March 11th. So, lemme ask, why did the price suddenly jump $300? When they originally listed this at $3000 flat. That seems a bit unfair.
Asked by MajesticSpaceDuck.
- A:Answer It was a price increase across all sites. It seems that they had it as a placeholder connected to the original bundle the non 4k version. If you search around you can find that the 4k version is 3300 on multiple other websites this is to cover the nicer specs. Still lame though that they did it the way they did....
Answered by Fiiish
Q: QuestionCan ASUS ROG Flow X13 be sold separately from the eGPU?
Asked by jim.
- A:Answer So far it's only happened on Asus, though it's half the price it is here, at a 16GB Ram configuration instead of 32GB, along with a 5900 instead of a 5980 processor, along with a 1080p 120hz panel instead of the 4k 60hz panel included with this model here. That, and like you're asking for, it doesn't include the eGPU.

Asked by Impatient.

Answered by MajesticSpaceDuck
Q: QuestionDoes ROG Flow X12 have 16 GB RAM soldered to the motherboard? Can it be upgraded to 48 or 64 GB RAM?
Asked by jim.
- A:Answer Currently there are two versions of the ROG Flow X13. Version 1 has a ryzen 5900HS with a 1920x1200 120hz display and 16gb of ram. Version 2 has a ryzen 5980HS with a 3840x2400 60hz display with 32gb of ram. This is a listing for version 2. Both versions come with soldered ram and can not be upgraded.
Answered by Slickink
Q: QuestionDoes this come with another power adapter connection besides the eGPU that comes with it?
Asked by CDJ.
- A:Answer Yes, it comes with a 100W USB-C adapter as well as the eGPU. The eGPU has an internal PSU, so it is self contained, no need for another power brick. But it does use the bulkier desktop IEC type power cable.
