Customer Ratings & Reviews

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Yes the price can make you question it. I was on the same boat but it’s a beast of equipment. Runs games excellent. For work it’s more than enough and feels very portable than expected. A bit on a heavy side but for what you have running in the system is worth it. WORTH EVERY DOLLAR.

Amazing, very portable and fast. Good for my daily use when I’m working remote or traveling. Decent battery when not plugged. Good for gaming.

Just what I wanted in a portable gaming laptop, although this is more of a tablet than notebook which is awesome. Insane integrated GPU, you can allocate more of your ddr5 memory to your vram if you want. Gaming is extremely impressive on this little guy, a little noisy when max power but that’s to be expected.

This device is insane. I run it connected to a dock with multiple monitors and this dosent even flinch. Runs everything I play at 70+ fps while being able to be a completely silent tablet that performs when needed. it runs: Cyberpunk at 100fps high settings, raytracing off fsr+frame gen on Oblivion remake at 120fps+ in dungeons and 70+ open world on high Tekken 8 high settings, 4k 60fps and never drops below 58fps during play. In. A. Tablet. Its insane. There are a few caveats: 1 the drivers need some work. Certain things glitch here and there. Its nothing major but definitely there. 2 its heavy for a tablet. It weighs a tad bit more than a 14in macbook pro. Makes it a bit unwieldly as a tablet but still usable with a little practice. Overall, this is probably the best mobile device thats coming out this year.

Yes, this device is expensive. Yes, it targets a very specific use case. And yes, you can get better gaming performance for less money if you buy a traditional laptop. That said, if you are looking for a blazing fast device that’s more portable than a laptop, can be used on soft surfaces, has an amazing display without the need for OLED burn in mitigation, and can run pretty much any modern game without a hitch, this could be for you. When using this pc for daily tasks it feels like the fastest device I have ever used. My only knocks would be on the 1TB storage - give us a 2280 slot or ship with 2TB.

This device performs well no matter what task you are performing. In gaming you are able to compete between a RTX 4060 and RTX 4070, depending on the title. This is very impressive given the form factor. The ability to distribute the RAM to the GPU provides a lot of flexibility which I believe will provide longer relevancy as games require higher and higher amount of VRAM, whereas the RTX based laptops will be a bit more limiting with static VRAM allocations. The only downside is the tablet form factor leads to detachable keyboard, which doesn't always perform as well as the fully attached counterpart. This device is an overall powerhouse with lots of versatility.

Powerful, compact, and very versatile. The display is incredibly smooth and sharp, and performance is excellent for both gaming and productivity. Great build quality and portability. Highly recommend if you want power in a small form factor.

I'll be honest: I had mixed feelings about the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 from the moment I unboxed it. On one hand, this thing is a technical marvel that shouldn't exist. On the other hand, I kept asking myself "but why does this need to be a tablet?" The Star of the Show: That AMD Chip Let's start with what's undeniably awesome. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor in this thing is absolutely wild. I'm talking about 16 cores and 32 threads in a device that's barely thicker than an iPad. When I ran my first Geekbench test and saw scores that matched my 18-inch gaming laptop, I genuinely thought something was wrong. But it wasn't. This chip is the real deal. Gaming performance blew me away. I fired up Cyberpunk 2077 at the native 2560x1600 resolution with high settings, and I was getting 60-70 FPS consistently. With FSR turned on, I pushed over 90 FPS. On a 13-inch tablet. It's bonkers. Horizon Forbidden West, Baldur's Gate 3, God of War- all of them ran better than I expected. Not quite desktop RTX 4060 performance, but close enough that I couldn't really complain. The Display is Great (But Not Perfect) The 13.4-inch screen is genuinely nice. The 2560x1600 resolution at 180Hz makes everything look sharp and smooth. Colors are vibrant right out of the box, and the 500-nit brightness is plenty for indoor use. I took it to a coffee shop, and I could see everything fine even near a window. My only gripe? It's not OLED. I know, I know- you can't have 180Hz OLED at this size yet. But after using OLED laptops, the blacks here just look a bit gray in comparison. Still, for gaming and photo editing, it's more than good enough. The touchscreen and stylus support work flawlessly, which matters if you're using this for digital art. The Form Factor: A Double-Edged Sword Here's where things get complicated. The tablet design is simultaneously the coolest and most frustrating thing about this device. Battery Life: The Great Divide For productivity work, the battery is surprisingly decent. I got about 8-9 hours doing word processing, web browsing, and light photo editing. That's genuinely impressive. For gaming? Forget it. I got about 90 minutes playing Cyberpunk before the battery warning popped up. This is not a device you're gaming on unplugged. You need to be near an outlet, which again makes the "portability" angle feel a bit hollow. The good news is it charges via USB-C at 100W, so I could use my existing chargers. The included 200W brick is for maximum performance, but honestly, I didn't notice a huge difference in my testing. Software: The Rough Edges Show Windows 11 runs fine, but ASUS's Armoury Crate software is buggy as hell. The RGB would just stop working randomly. The screen would flicker occasionally. I had to restart the device to fix a weird 20 FPS cap bug twice. I also ran into an issue where the touchpad completely stopped responding. I had to completely reconfigure some settings to get it working again. For a $2,300 device, this level of software jankiness is disappointing. The AI features are cool in concept- it can run large language models locally, and Windows Studio Effects work great- but honestly, I didn't find myself using them much. They feel like technology looking for a problem to solve. Who Is This Actually For? After using this for a few weeks, I think I've figured out the target audience: You should buy this if you're a digital artist who travels frequently and wants to game on the same device you draw on. Or if you're a photographer who needs powerful editing on the go with stylus support. Or if you're a tech enthusiast who just thinks this technology is cool and wants to support AMD's innovation. You should absolutely not buy this if you want the best gaming laptop for your money, or if you primarily use devices on your lap, or if you're expecting a polished, bug-free experience. My Final Thoughts The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is a paradox. It's an engineering triumph that proves AMD's new chip design is groundbreaking. The performance is legitimately amazing for the size. But it's wrapped in a form factor that feels like a solution searching for a problem. I loved using it on my desk for work. The performance made me smile every time I fired up a game. The build quality feels premium, and the port selection is excellent (that microSD reader is clutch for my photography work). But the keyboard frustrations wore me down. The software bugs annoyed me. The price made me wince. And I kept thinking "this would be so much better as just a regular laptop."

The Z13 Flow 2025 is an extremely portable and power computer. It is great for software developers and gamers on the go. The additional RAM and AI MAX+ 395 CPU has makes it possible to run AI models locally. Gaming performance has been excellent allow it to run the latest games at medium to high settings with the right configuration. The battery life and efficacy had been greatly improved over the previous 2023 model. There is no other package like it in this form factor.

Albeit a very expensive stop gap, as a self professed tech junkie i love this overpriced Lap-tablet Apu monster. Would've gotten 5 stars if it were better priced and i didn't run in to little nagging issues so 4 it is. Silent on battery is like gaming on a handheld. 100-140w charger on performance is that stop gap. Using the included charger on turbo is closer to low-midrange discrete gpu laptop performance. Fills the gap... pause. Any who i enjoy it but its definitely a rather niche product for junkies like me or fringe Ai programmers who want early access 395+ portability, definitely wasn't made for the mass market but i still praise Asus for looking out for the real ROG heads

Usually a tablet will come hamstrung with a CPU barely able to browse the internet without chugging. Not on this machine! You have a 16 core beast that is going to match any of the top of the line laptops out there. Then the APU is where the power efficiency shines though, scaling all the way from 8w up to 100w. The 64GB of ram really is the sugar on top, making sure you have enough for the most poorly optimized games or an overly-modded Minecraft. If I had to be critical only the battery capacity could have been bigger, if at the sacrifice of a slightly thicker chassis. But with the efficiency of the machine that is a mute point.

Super powerful, lightweight, and the 180Hz screen is stunning-perfect for gaming on the go!

The ROG Flow Z13 is an extremely portable and capable gaming laptop. The laptop is much quieter than the SCAR 17 I own when gaming, and it can play many games with reasonably high framerates. If you play competitive FPS titles, however, you might encounter minor perf issues. For example, CS2 needs some tweaking to get AVG FPS to close to 180, and the 1% low isn't ideal at around 80 FPS. This issue can be alleviated switching to the performance power mode in Amoury Crate, but in that case, you will be missing AMD's power plan from the chipset driver, as it will only be installed to the "Balanced" power plan. Hopefully, ASUS can fix this issue in the future with a software update. Display: The display is vibrant, bright and has good viewing angles. However, the black levels are atrocious which is expected from an IPS panel. Hopefully ASUS can seriously upgrade the Flow Z13's display next year to at least 240Hz, ideally an OLED. Connectivity and ports: The MTK Wi-Fi module is much slower than Intel's Wi-Fi 7 modules, but most people probably won't reach the around 2Gbps limit of this MTK module. The tablet has just two USB-C ports and one USB-A port which can be annoying, so buyers be aware. Overall, I think the Flow Z13 is a very interesting product and an ideal choice for those who need portable gaming tablets or laptops. It has some flaws, but none of them are deal-breakers.

This is truly a one of a kind device witg what it offers, it is so portable and really powerful, it plays all the games I want to play at good settings wherever I am. I like being able to detach the keyboard and use it propped up with a controller. It’s the ultimate couch gaming tool. And so much more powerful than a gaming handheld. It’s built really well and looks super dope. I can’t recommend it enough for how good it is. Truly my favorite piece of tech.

This is an interesting device - maybe the best of all time (currently). The issue is not whether or not it should be purchased, but whether or not you specifically need it. For me, I returned mine because I primarily sit at my desk and found a major steal on a strix scar 18" which is a bit more powerful on the CPU side and much more powerful on the GPU side - but make no mistake this is the best technology on the market. It's BLAZING fast and the GPU is capable of high settings with almost any game. I did run into some APU issues, and ASUS has to sort out the usb c thing, but other than that i think we are in for a good next few years.

This thing is a BEAST! The fastest APU (CPU/iGPU) combination on the market, I've been able to throw a vast majority of games, applications, and software tools at it without a hiccup. I was previously running on other laptops and Surface Pro devices with eGPUs, and this has been outpacing those dGPUs - Intel Arc B580, RTX 3080, and it showing results around an RTX 4070 Ti. Really pleased with the overall build, multiple levels of controls to tweak and adjust the tuning, great battery life, amazing display, and very quiet even under load. The only "con" of this device is its price-tag. But this truly is a scenario of you absolutely get what you pay for with quality and performance, one device to rule them all. I no longer need a desktop, laptop, or tablet, this does it all.

I love this machine. It can game, virtualize, and is barely bigger than a surface.

This device is amazing. It is a workhorse for gaming and productivity tasks. It is extremely portable for traveling and with a controller, it makes this an amazing gaming on the device. Timespy puts it around a 4060m gpu with a score of around 10.5k.

Excellent machine to cover all sorts of tasks, from gaming to locally hosted LLMs, you can control amount of RAM going to GPU, you can still carry this thing around, display is good and fast, overall - I'm very happy with the purchase

I use this Asus ROG Flow 13 mainly for school plus some gaming and coding on the side. It is light enough to carry all day and the 13‑inch size fits easily in my backpack. This is a great choice if you want one machine for school work and gaming or heavier tasks.
