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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

5 bsod (blue screen of death) so far Over 10 crash and restarts under idle At least 3 fail to boots Xg mobile is only running at 120watts not the 150 as advertised Customer service is incompetent and says there is no level 2 techs capable of assisting with these issues. This is all while plugged in the xg mobile. Plan to return if issues arent fixed before return period

Would not turn on out of the box, even after plugging in power and letting it charge. The battery and lightbulb LED on the side turned on but the display didn't. After holding/pressing the power button many times for 10 minutes it finally turned on. Upon first usage of the eGPU, I got a blue screen. Powered off then I had the first issue again of it not turning on immediately. Not worth the hassle or price especially if it won't reliably turn on when commanded to. Wish it had the newer 3050Ti internal gpu with this 32GB RAM model as well. Too bad the RAM isn't upgradable either. Returned.
