Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son wanted a laptop for light gaming - minecraft, fortnight, stuff that will choke in Intel integrated in my 3 year old home thinkpad. It also needed to be small and light enough for him to take to class. This is a great machine that fits into that spot. There are only a couple other options in the range - Razer 14" for example. You can get smaller, but they are not able to play anything. You can get much better for gaming, with a 15"+ screen, and then lug them around. There is an external GPU available, but at its price, I would suggest buying a separate laptop and gaming desktop. Battery is good on the AMD integrated graphics, which are good for everything except gaming, but plan to plug in as soon as you boot up a 3D game and use the 350Ti. Screen could be brighter, keyboard is good, but not thinkpad. Build is good. Put something under the back on your desk, or put a cooling pad under it to let the bottom get air. Would I buy this for myself, no I would get a thinkpad x1, but I don't play games on my laptop. For a specific use case (campus backpack laptop capable of light gaming) this is probably the best option available. There are some advantages to the newer Ryzen 6 models, but the difference is in niche of the niche use cases - if you will be affected by those, you will already know it.

a lot of power in a small space. The Ryzen 9 processor is potent with 8 cores and 16 threads. 16Gb ram, and with the NVIDIA RTX 3050 4Gb, gaming is excellent even on higher settings. The 1Tb SSD provides ample storage for numerous games and apps. Keyboard has good travel and feel, the touch pad feels smooth, and again works perfectly. Add in 2 in 1 ability, touch screen, 120Hz, backlit keyboard, etc., and it is an awesome machine for the price. All is not perfect though..... Only 1 USB C port which is used for charging will necessitate using a hub if needed. No card slot is inexcusable in my opinion since it would be an easy addition. Lastly, the battery lifr is short. If running all hardware (gaming), I would expect battery to last an hour or so... Maybe 3 to 4 hours on just surfing, emails, etc. Still, a great laptop in this price range

Small and super portable laptop. Handles games very well but tends to get loud. When plugged in you can activate turbo mode which boosts certain aspects of the laptop.

Excellent computer that I use for my cybersecurity classes. Super quick and can easily run many programs at once. No issue running games.

I purchased the machine to do photo / video editing. The machine is powerful. It has a fast processor, a great graphics card and plenty of storage.

Great laptop for light gaming, heavily focused on portability. Recommended for anyone who wants to play recent games on medium settings.

I bought this because of the versatility that it offered, and its lived up to that mostly. Pros: lot of power in a compact package, 2n1 further boosts versatility, professional package that can have fun with features that benefit both (19x12 120Hz display, 2n1 good for creatives and tent mode good for gaming with open air for intakes and heat pushed out the top). Cons: that power in such a small package means it can't maintain the performance potential and battery life also suffers. eGPU box is pricey and proprietary connector will likely be replaced by Thunderbolt 4 (although that should be good for eGPU in general). Even though I actually like the aesthetic (well colors) of the "gamer bling LED" that often gets lamented, I do like the professional look and feel of the ROG Flow line. I also love the eGPU idea although the price kept me from bothering with it. I'm hoping TB4 will help alleviate many of the issues (proprietary connector, lack of options, price). I got it on sale, and for that price its pretty great all arounder, although for many other options (that focus on thin and light 2n1, or gaming) would likely be better.

NICRE PRODUCT - WE SENT IT BACK BECAUSE IT DIDNT ARRIVE AT THE TIME. WE BUY IT AGAIN. NO PROBLEM IN 2 YEARS USING.

This machine really surprised me. I love that the nVMe drive is supposedly upgradable (based on other videos online..... I haven't opened it)... but that it is just so fast. I expected a decent speed increase but this is at least 2x as fast my desktop. Rocket League plays at 60fps with everything at maximum with 1920x1200 screen. It's really quick. One USB-A and one USB-C port which is fine, but it has an actual HDMI port and you're not stuck using just USB-C for that.... but it's really just so thin... This really surprised me with how quick this feels when using it on Windows 11. This was bought as an Open Box item since I've never had a problem with BB's Open box items... one problem with it was that there was a hidden partition on the drive for 600GB that wasn't set as a drive letter. Almost like someone redid the Windows install but didn't log in after to check that the partitions actually erased. So I added the drive letter to the system and it showed someone else's files.... pictures and other documents. MalwareBytes was run to do a virus scan and all was cleaned... so I removed the partition and deleted the recovery partition since it was smack dab in the middle of the drive at the 300GB mark.... now I have that one single partition with 1TB on it Not sure how that happened but it was easy to fix and I didn't pull any of that data off... it's not mine and I don't care what it is. It was on a bitlocker partition so just overwriting it should make it harder to even have to deal with in the future. Anyway, I love this laptop. Keyboard is great... better than an Apple one but one where I honestly feel comfortable using it. Sometimes the fan really kicks in when gaming but when I check task manager, the speed is at 4GHz+ so I can see why it would go on. But despite that, I'm just getting it all set up and with it, it just works... screen is great... Definite improvement over what I had before in terms of speed. Highly recommend this

This little laptop has far exceeded my expectations. Even at full retail I think this laptop is worth it based on performance and build quality, but at its current $1249 price it's a no-brainer. Full RTX feature support including resizable BAR and DLSS. Gaming is smooth and enjoyable without sacrificing graphic quality. The screen isn't large enough to warrant running most modern titles on "Ultra" or equivalent, so "high" settings work fine. On the new Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker demo, the 3050ti scored 10975 with avg frame rate of 76.5 tested at "High". For the sake of comparison, my OC'd i9-9900k with a FTW3 Ultra 3090 scored 15789 with an average of 109fps at 4k HDR "maximum" setting. The only other game I have really had time to play is Diablo 2: Resurrected, and it averages 75-100fps with graphics maxed and DLSS on. The 120hz display is fantastic, no tearing or artifacts while gaming. There is a slight learning curve to getting Armoury Crate and the Radeon software configured, but it's well worth the time investment if you plan to use the laptop on battery much. In Armoury Crate it's very easy to configure gpu power saving so the 3050ti shuts off on battery power, then turns back on when plugged back in. You can also assign through the Nvidia Control Panel what apps use what gpu..and the radeon igpu is way, way better than intel iris xe. With a little tweaking you can get some nice battery life out of this laptop without any noticeable performance drop. For me, in normal unplugged operation the fans never even came on during a 4 hour stretch of work with 2 desktops running using Edge with 10 tabs open on each desktop, plus all the background stuff running in tray (Dropbox, Teams, Battle.net, iCloud etc.) And I still had 60% batter left with the screen being on 100% of the time. No issues with build quality either. it's not quite as solid as a MacBook Pro (when doing a corner hold) but close enough. Hinges are tight but not overly so, and no issues with flexing. Anyway, very happy with purchase!

I needed something that I could comfortably use for work, but that could occasionally serve as a simple gaming laptop. These expectations in mind, this laptop didn't disappoint! Is this the best option for gaming? No. Is this the best work-centered laptop? No. This is a niche blend of the two that gets most things right! If you want a powerful convertible laptop that is light, versatile, and can handle light gaming, this is it! It is a little expensive, but there really isn't anything else quite like it out there right now.

The pen support is almost bad enough to be unuseable, but it is technically there. Screen is just okay. It can play games, but gets incredibly loud while doing so. If you know you need this, then you know you need this. But if you're at all uncertain, I'd advise you to get almost anything else (especially at this price)

Nice little gaming computer big pet or in a little package screen is small but I just attach it to another monitor

If you are wondering if you should buy this, don't. I was able to play SC 2 on ultra setting even without the eGPU. I ordered the Egpu a week later directly from Asus because I wanted more usb ports and the ability to play more intensive games. I know best buy has the bundle online (Laptop and eGPU) Asus has also been wonderful to work with (registering product, ordering more things etc...) Very happy I also got this for $100 off on a sale best buy was having on the day I started looking for a new laptop!

Purchased this to replace an aging 15.6 MSI light-weight gaming laptop. As I am traveling more for work than ever, portability was extremely important to me. My old MSI, while thin and light, really lacked the build quality to stand up to travel and just day-to-day carrying in a back pack. The Flow 13 has so little flex that I have no worries about tossing it in my backpack or luggage. The Ryzen processor is really the only way to go for portable performance in this current generation. The 3050ti is not a powerhouse GPU but it does a good job with any games I have played on it. There are similarly sized gaming laptops with more powerful GPUs but they also lack the 2-in-1 features of the Flow 13. I have enjoyed using a stylus for some graphic and photo editing. Also, using Microsoft Onenote with a stylus for math and other diagraming is an experience that is hard to replicate on anything that is not a 2-in-1. At time of initial purchase, I did plan on getting the external graphics for this. I'm not so sure now as it has stood up to my usual travel games pretty well. I have a desktop for more graphically demanding games. I only hope that Asus decides to make future external graphics available using their proprietary connector. It would be great to hook an RTX 4000 or 5000 series card to this in the future. My only complaint is that this only has 1 USB A port. If you are planning on using a wireless (not bluetooth) mouse with this, you will probably end up needing a dongle for any other USB devices. It does have 2 USB C ports which are great, but I have way more USB A than USB C devices. USB C charging is great. I can use the included charger for full power, or just plug this into a phone charger to keep it juiced while I am doing less demanding tasks. Ultimately, I think this has a very niche audience - ultra portable power but also needing 2-in-1 functions. However, if you are in that group, I can't think of a better laptop to buy.

It was great, never got to use it much cause it got stolen but really great computer

Great for moderate gaming. Works well for digital art as well(w/MS pen) in tablet mode. Productivity is excellent. The R9 flies through tasks paired with 32gig ram(upgraded). Rtx 3050ti performs admirably at lower settings. Rtx3080 will own any game at any setting. Battery has good duration with RTX disabled. 3-4 hrs on 3050, power supply a must for 3080.

great laptop with excellent graphics and awesome processor speed for all applications so far, highly recommend

This bad boy is great if you don't need a lot of graphical power. The portability of this device is so great. You won't notice it in your backpack. Battery life could be better. You need to tweak some settings to get decent battery life. The 3050ti is good for the 1080p/120hz panel but don't expect to max out the settings on Cyberpunk or anything. I have a gaming desktop so I don't need a very powerful laptop

I’ve been using this laptop for months and it’s the best gaming laptop out there. 10/10
