I haven’t seen such things exist till now. It handles every I throw at it and handles really well. Battery could be bigger but not such a big deal since it is big enough for everything other than gaming.

This lil thing really took me by surprise. It’s more than capable to game and runs local ai models really well. I learned a lot from owning this tablet.

Not impressed with Asus build quality as of late. Really cool APU from a design perspective. Given it uses RNDA3.5 it seems to suffer the same audio bugs that plague the ROG ally (mainly audio distortion at low TDP, ie silent) when using Dolby Atmos. Battery life is also poor and I've been unable to address why in paticular it is poort on the 64GB version. Seeing roughly 2-3hours of battery life at minimum brightness surfing the web. I've tried capping TDP and capping on battery CPU clocks to base only which is where the audio issues began to appear. At 75% CPU speed max capped in windows power menu I was seeing closer to 6 hours but that is still well below the 10 hours often claimed on YouTube.
Build quality is not great either. There seems to be a popping or clicking near the top vents at the center of each grill. Almost fees like a poorly seated or broken clip which wouldnt be a deal breaker other than it makes a pop sound every time the tab-lap-lop is picked up by that side which is half of the time. Usability is OK, thought it would hate the form factor more than I did, issues I have with the device much like the Zephyrus all relate to low build quality.
Much easier to justify this with a $500 ally rather than a $2500 laptop. For that kind of money you're well into M4 Pro territory approaching M4 Max which at this price point is unacceptable. Haven't yet but likely to return the device. I really truly want to like it but if there are this many issues within the first 14 days I can't imagine what it will look like after a year or two.

A lot power. I love this and use it almost everyday when I’m not on my main system.

It’s very unlikely that if you are in the market for a gaming laptop, ASUS ROG Flow Z13, searching for power and portability, you can find a better option. Don’t get fooled by the design as a tablet; you have in your hands a full gaming device with the most advanced processor AMD Ryzen APU, which will exceed the most exigent requirements, maintaining a compact design while still having nice aesthetics and full portability.
From the moment that you receive the package, you can start to see that ASUS is putting a lot of effort into convincing you that this is the right investment. Quality package, full protection for your device and your power supply. Note that my first reaction with the device in my hands was unconclusive. How a tablet can handle some of the most exigent users in the laptop industry. In fact, the response has come from the use over the past few weeks after receiving the device.
From the specs side, AMD Ryzen APU powers the 64 GB memory RAM running at 8000MHz speed. It turns on the magic. Running on Windows 11, please allow at least 45 minutes of updates and settings time.
Start gaming, with massive power processing data and adjustable graphic processing memory, you can experience images and frames crossing your screen at an unimaginable speed with unmarked transitions. In fact, this is where the Flow Z13 excels, the combination of a 13-inch screen with an AMD Radeon graphics card, all combined with the 2560×1600 screen. Colors and display are amazingly vivid, and levels of clarity are surprisingly vibrant. The power and the quality are unbelievable despite the first impression about the size. The screen is made of tempered glass with Gorilla Glass Victus that should reinforce the durability of your touch screen.
The video is combined with four speakers powered by Dolby Atmos. Ok for testing, but I recognice that I ended up with the game-specific gaming headphones.
One item that I generally do not pay a lot of attention to general but in this case, considering the ratio power/size I did is the cooling capacity. I can report a great performance that is not involving a too noisy fan. Great engineering work.
The battery life is good but not impressive. I never reached the 12 hours of battery life promised but more in the range of 9. Perhaps the intensive use of sound and processor in some of the racing games is part of the report.
Connectivity: you have two USB C , one USB A, full-size HDMI 2.1, microSD slot, headphone jack, and the proprietary 200 W charging port.
Finally, I also acknowledge that I was unsure about the removable keyboard for a gaming device. In fact, I think that is a great game changer. I love the dual usage: one connecting the laptop to the external devices of my gaming set: physical keyboard, the round-screen monitor, and the headphones, while I can still do some gaming while travelling.
A game changer device for your games, you can not miss this.

The unit I got had terrible light bleed to the point where it was very distracting and I could shift where the light bleed was with a slide of my finger. This tells me quality control is iffy. Had the screen been nice without issues I would not have brought it back. For the cost of this item they need to go OLED to be honest.
