Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM Review - Gaming Convertible with RTX 4070 Laptop

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a gaming tablet with a powerful processor and dedicated graphics card. In addition to the regular 2023 model with the Core i9-13900H and up to the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop, which is currently also in review, Asus also offers a special edition in cooperation with the German fashion brand ACRONYM, which gets a completely redesigned chassis as well as the more powerful GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop. We review the gaming convertible to find out, whether the price of 3400 Euros is justified. The convertible also features a 13.4-inch WQHD IPS screen with 165 Hz refresh rate, 32 GB LPDDR5-RAM as well as a compact 1 TB M.2-2230 SSD, which can be replaced.
It is also possible to use the gaming convertible with the external Asus XG Mobile GPU with the RTX 4090 Laptop, but it is a very expensive option at 2500 Euros. We will also include some eGPU benchmarks during the review.

Case - Flow Z13 with striking aluminum chassis
You can immediately see that the ACRNM special edition uses a completely different chassis compared to the regular ROG Flow Z13. The most striking feature is the CNC machined aluminum back cover and you can really see where the machine removed material. Asus also included rubberized strips for better grip and there is additional material around the corners. The ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM almost looks like a ruggedized tablet and the stability would most certainly meet the requirements, but the device is also quite heavy as a result at 1.7 kg (convertible + keyboard cover). Asus knows this as well and the four corners are also attachment points for the included straps. They can be used to carry the device like a bag around your shoulder or use it in front of your body, which is illustrated in the pictures below.
The integrated kickstand at the rear also leaves a good impression and there is no wobble in the hinges. We particularly like the fact that the corners of the kickstand are also rubberized, which means there is no scratching and you can even use the convertible in portrait mode.
All in all, the ACRNM edition of the ROG Flow Z13 is definitely a very striking design and not everybody will like it. We like it and we think is suits the orientation of the device. It is not possible to open the chassis to clean the fans, for example, but you can at least access the compact M.2-2230 SSD via maintenance hatch at the back.

We already mentioned the high weight of 1.7 kg (tablet section ~1.3 kg) and the chassis is also bulkier compared to the regular ROG Flow Z13. The compact 130W power adapter tips the scale at 565 grams.
Connectivity - Thunderbolt and eGPU
The Flow Z13 is still a convertible, so the port variety is limited. However, the situation is not that bad and you get one regular USB-A port in combination with two USB-C ports as well as the connector for the external GPU. Both USB-C ports can be used to charge the convertible and they also support video output.

Communication
The ROG Flow Z13 uses the current Intel Wi-Fi module AX211, which also supports the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard. However, we could establish a connection with the corresponding 6 GHz network of our reference router from Asus, but the performance with the 5 GHz network was also very good and stable.

Webcam
In addition to a 5 MP IR camera for Windows Hello, Asus also includes a new 13 MP camera in the upper display bezel. The picture quality is much better compared to regular 720p or even 1080p cameras in regular laptops. We also included a sample recording (video and audio) in our YouTube review, so you can get a better impression of the performance.

Input Devices - ROG Flow with two keyboards
Asus ships the ROG Flow z13 ACRNM edition with two different keyboard covers, which are also quite heavy (358 grams) and thick for a convertible. As per usually, you can use the keyboard in two angles, either flat on the surface or slightly tilted. The keyboard is surprisingly sturdy and the key travel is also quite long for a detachable keyboard.
The design of the keys is as unusual as the chassis and that creates some issues, since the additional symbols on the keys can be quite confusing on a daily basis when you cannot type without looking. The contrast of the black keys is just not sufficient, while the additional symbols have a high contrast at the same time, which is irritating. The problem is gone in dark environments since the keyboard illumination only lights up the important symbols.
The touchpad is pretty small at 10.5 x 6 cm and the clicking sounds are pretty loud, but it works well. The capacitive touchscreen does not reveal any issues and you can also use it with a digitizer. Asus ships the convertible with the SA203 stylus (4096 pressure levels) and we did not notice any problems.
Display - WQHD with 165 Hz
Asus also upgraded the display and there is no difference between our ACRNM edition and the regular version of the ROG Flow Z13. Both use a higher-resolution WQHD panel (2560 x 1600 pixels, 16:10) with a higher 165 Hz refresh rate. The subjective picture quality is excellent and movements are very smooth. We also determine fast response times and there is no sign of PWM flickering. Our review unit did not have massive issues with backlight bleeding, either.
We determine an average brightness of 455 nits in combination with a slightly raised black value of 0.4, which results in a contrast ratio of 1160:1. This is a decent result, but all IPS-based rivals (including the predecessor) except for the Razer Blade 14 offer better contrast results. The panel brightness cannot be controlled via ambient light sensor.

* ... smaller is better
We analyzed the panel with the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro2) with the native color profile of the Armoury Crate software. There is also a dedicated sRGB profile when you want to work in the smaller color space. The results are already decent out of the box and only a handful of colors deviate from the DeltaE-2000 target of 3. There is also a minor blue cast in combination with a slightly cooler color temperature, but this is only noticeable in direct comparison with a calibrated screen.
Our own calibration (corresponding profile can be downloaded in the box above for free) improves the quality of the grayscale as well as color presentation. Only 100 % blue is still an outlier, but you can still use the panel for some picture and video editing in combination with the high DCI-P3 coverage. If you just want to play games with the Flow Z13, it is not really necessary to calibrate the screen.

Performance - Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace
All versions of the 2023 ROG Flow Z13 are equipped with the Intel Core i9-13900H, but our ACRNM special edition also gets the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop (65W version). Our unit is shipped with 32 GB LPDDR5-5200 RAM as well as a 1 TB PCIe-4.0 SSD.
Review Settings
We are already familiar with the Armoury Crate software from other ROG devices and it offers comprehensive settings for the power modes as well as the behavior of the GPUs. It is, for example, possible to deactivate the iGPU completely. Similar to other ROG models, we noticed that the dedicated GPU must be active when you attach an external screen, which will increase the power consumption in daily situations. We listed the ROG power modes in the following table:
CPU load | GPU load | Stress test | Max. fan noise | CB R23 Multi | Time Spy Graphics | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Quiet | 36/20 Watts | 35 Watts | CPU: 20 Watts GPU: 35 Watts |
36.5 dB(A) | 8207 points | 7344 points |
Performance | 100/55 Watts | 50 Watts | CPU: ~35 Watts GPU: 30 Watts |
43.4 dB(A) | 15557 points | 8720 points |
Turbo | 100/65 Watts | 65 Watts | CPU: 30-50 Watts GPU: 45 Watts |
46.9 dB(A) | 18682 points | 9513 points |
Processor - Core i9-13900H
The new Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900H is basically the old Core i9-12900H from the previous version with slightly increased Turbo frequencies. The CPU can consume 100 Watts for short periods and 65 Watts for sustained workloads in the Turbo power mode. This means we are still pretty far away from the maximum potential of the Core i9, but the overall results are still very good considering the compact size. The battery power consumption is limited to 40 Watts, which means you will lose around 25 % CPU performance in multi-core scenarios. Please see our tech section for more benchmarks.

DPC Latency
Our standardized latency test (web browsing, YouTube 4K playback, CPU load) shows some issues with the current BIOS version, but it could also be a result of the Nvidia GPU driver (there are reported DPC latency issues for a while now). The situation might improve with future software updates.

Storage Devices
Asus uses an extremely compact M.2-2230 NVMe-SSD, which can be accessed and replaced via maintenance hatch at the rear of the tablet. Our review unit is equipped with the 1 TB version of the Western Digital SN740, a modern PCIe 4.0 drive with maximum transfer rates of 5150 MB/s. This means it is not the fastest drive, but it reaches the advertised performance and the it is stable even under sustained workloads. All in all, a good result for the compact SSD.
