Asus’ ROG Flow Z13 is a Surface for gaming
Source: Mobile Syrup English
I’ve tried a few gaming laptops over the years and generally arrive at the same core issue: you give up too much performance for not enough portability. However, Asus’ ROG Flow Z13 2-in-1 is a gaming laptop I wouldn’t mind carrying around. While likely not everyone agrees, for me, I find it a tough tradeoff to make. Generally, I want my laptops to be as portable as possible — thin, light, small, etc. I expect lower performance accordingly, but that’s okay since I make up for it with a large, bulky desktop with tons of performance for when I need it. Gaming laptops tend to walk a fine line of being technically portable while also managing to be obnoxious to carry around. They’re big, heavy, loud, and the battery dies if you spend more than an hour away from an outlet. They tend to be covered in gaudy RGB, giant fan grilles and sport weird designs. None of these things are explicitly bad, but I don’t look for them on a laptop.

80% Asus ROG Flow Z13 Review: Stunning, Expensive, And A Tad Vexing
Source: Slashgear English
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 does a lot of things right, but its form factor also brings a lot of practical limitations. No other tablet out there offers such high performance. If you've ever wanted a machine that goes from a "Halo" machine to a legitimate productivity horse, and finally evolves into a video-watching tablet, this Asus machine should be on your radar. I particularly loved the fact that I can simply prop the tablet half on a table or my lap, and breeze past a few races in "Forza Horizon 5" with an Xbox controller without having to care about the keyboard. Plus, unlike a traditional gaming laptop with bottom-firing heat vents that can quickly make it hard to keep it in one's lap, the Asus ROG Flow doesn't offer any such thermal discomfort. If you're concerned about raw performance, know that this machine can handle even the most demanding workflow. Overall, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a one-of-its-kind machine that is a jack of many trades, and won't leave you wanting for a lot more. That is if you are willing to pay for all those conveniences and are willing to ignore other more reasonable options.

70% ASUS ROG Flow Z13 review: the most powerful Windows gaming tablet
Source: 91mobiles English
Despite having a wide array of gaming notebooks under its belt, ASUS is not shying away from innovation and the Flow Z13 is a testament to the same. In my books, the 2-in-1, gaming tablet is a home run for ASUS and for a first-gen product, the device has undoubtedly made its mark in the gaming space. It is undeniably one of the most unique computing products on the market today and the device is flush with high-end hardware, including the latest Intel 12th-gen H-series processors, DDR5 memory and even discrete GPU options from Nvidia. Despite that, the device is but a slightly chunkier Surface Pro and it’s mind-boggling to think of all the hardware that is crammed inside the machine. Be that as it may, the form factor is questionable for gaming and it isn’t entirely practical either. The experience just doesn’t compare to a regular clamshell or 2-in-1 convertible laptop. The only benefit of the form factor though is that you get better (if not the best) cooling as all the core components are on the top and get an uninterrupted supply of airflow.

76% ASUS ROG Flow Z13: A powerhouse tablet for gamers, finally? (review)
Source: Gadgetguy English
Cramming components that you would normally expect to find inside a big and bulky gaming laptop into a relatively svelte 13-inch Windows tablet makes the ROG Flow Z13 nothing short of an engineering marvel. I love being able to just turn on the Z13, pair a controller and get straight to gaming without having the keyboard get in the way. It’s also nice to have the option of plugging in a beefy external GPU when I want that extra performance. However, the Z13 compromises battery life to get there, falling notably short compared to other detachable notebooks and gaming laptops. The biggest issue with the Z13 is one of price. The discrete RTX 3050Ti graphics model of the Z13 retails for $3499 and ASUS’s external GPU accessory adds another $1699 to the total. The reality is that the 3050Ti graphics chip doesn’t deliver the performance that PC gamers expect at this price. Springing for the eGPU accessory adds bulk, weight and cost to the equation that makes choosing a similarly powerful gaming laptop a less complicated and less expensive choice.

80% Asus ROG Flow Z13 review: A gaming laptop or tablet?
Source: The Indian Express English
No, you shouldn’t buy the Z13, and that’s unfortunate. The Z13 is still highly experimental and far from a device I want to recommend. Yes, it has a clever design, a bright 13.4-inch display, excellent performance, and a decent keyboard. But then the overall execution leaves one wanting. The core issue is that the Z13 tries too hard to fit in both worlds. The Z13 isn’t as powerful as a dedicated gaming laptop that pro-gamers would want. Nor is it small and light as a tablet. And yes, the cost of owning the complete package–if one includes the XG Mobile GPU– makes it way more expensive than capable and powerful gaming laptops on the market.

ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Review: A Step Forward, But Still Not There Yet
Source: Lowyat.net English
At the end of the day, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 feels a bit like a hard sell. On one hand, the gaming tablet cum laptop clearly takes inspiration from Microsoft’s own Surface lineup, even going so far as to offer some really top-notch hardware, both above and beneath the hood. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel that this piece of electronic decadence isn’t quite everyone’s cup of tea. As I said at the start of this review, the Z13 is a product that caters to a very, very niche market for consumers that probably want bragging rights about owning what can only be described as one of the world’s only gaming tablet, and the fact that it is more than capable of serving the role of both a tablet and notebook, wherever and whenever the need arises. That, and the fact that they don’t mind lugging around an additional 1kg in the form of the XG Mobile, in the event that they need a little pick-me-up in the graphics department.

80% Asus ROG Flow Z13 Review: Spare the Expense
Source: CNet English
The Z13 comes in a couple of fixed configurations, some harder to find than others. We tested the $1,900 model with an Intel Core i9-12900H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and 1,920 x 1,200 display; our evaluation unit came with the XG Mobile external GPU (with an RTX 3080), but I could only find the eGPU bundled with the $3,300 model equipped with a 4K display. There's also a $1,700 model incorporating a Core i7-12700H and RTX 3050 and theoretically an i5-12500H model with only integrated graphics, both of which have the 1200p screen.

90% ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Review: Monster Tablet with GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and Core i9
Source: Root Nation English
ASUS really managed to create a truly gaming tablet in an original design, with a very cool screen, a top-end processor, a decent graphics card, which, among other things, can be upgraded with an external graphics card. With performance that’s truly unmatched by tablet standards, ROG Flow Z13 will appeal not only to gamers, but also to content makers and anyone who needs a powerful yet mobile device. And, of course, it is impossible not to note the complete set: it has everything just out of the box, from a bag-case to a stylus and a mouse. The Z13 format gives a lot of freedom in its use. Work on it with your fingers or a stylus as on a standard tablet, if you like; connect a keyboard and mouse and get a laptop, if you wish;add a monitor and use it as a portable PC, if you want. Or even use it as a game console with a screen by connecting up to 4 controllers to it. The range of applications is really wide, everyone can find their optimal use case. However, this is not without some caveats. Given the format and gaming focus, it was not possible to achieve decent autonomy.

ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) review – this tablet will change the industry
Source: Laptop Media English
One thing is sure, you can find a lot more powerful devices than this one for far less money. However, this would be a safe choice. ASUS wants you to be bold. And we really encourage this. We think that this tech is part of the future of mobile computing. Having all of your components behind the display is easier on your hands and a better choice from a thermal standpoint. The reason for that is that heat goes upwards. Thus, by having your motherboard straight up, you make it easier for the convection. As a result, the thermal efficiency of the cooling system is improved. We can easily spend nights and days talking about this machine. What is more important is that it deserves to be talked about. We need to see more companies experiment with this form factor, but until this happens, we have to give credit to ASUS for going the extra mile, and once again outshining their competition with innovation.

ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Review Philippines: PC Tablet Gaming Made Possible

Our review of the ROG Flow Z13 for the Philippines shows just how far ASUS has come in its pursuit of mobile tablet gaming. It’s one of the most powerful stand-alone PC-based tablets we’ve seen today and theoretically can play newer PC titles as long as you’re willing to turn the graphics down a bit. That being said, it’s not the ideal device to buy if you’re a PC gamer that wants to game on the road. It’s relatively expensive considering its discrete GPU, and the only way you’ll be able to get more than 40 frames per second on newer games on max quality is to spring for the spendy ROG XG Mobile external GPU for it.

It’s an incredibly versatile device, allowing you to play games on the go, or leverage the power of a high-end PC with the optional external GPU.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 review: a true gaming tablet
Source: T3 English
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is something of a contradiction. It’s a mobile device that doesn’t have great battery life, and a gaming device that has slightly weak performance. It sits between the two worlds, trying to straddle both but not quite managing it. That doesn’t make it a failure, though. It has good gaming performance and acceptable battery life, but just not as good as a dedicated device. The price is the real Achilles heel here. For the $3400 that my fully-specced-out review model would cost, you could buy a decent gaming laptop and a low-end Surface Pro 8 to do some work on the road with. Is the extra worth it to buy one product that can do both? For most people, probably not. But if you have the scratch and want an all-in-one solution, it’s the one to beat.

Now all this doesn't mean you shouldn't get one. But you should know what you're getting into first. The Flow Z13 is a wildly interesting system, and for people looking for a portable and adaptable machine with big time performance, I'm glad that ASUS finally made a gaming tablet/detachable 2-in-1 into a real device after all these years. And while its high price will make the Z13 an incredibly hard sell for most people, I still think it’s impractically cool.

80% Asus ROG Flow Z13 review: A full-fledged gaming PC disguised as a tablet
Source: Good Gear Guide English
With the ROG Flow Z13, Asus dropped the convertible design of last year's Flow X13 in favor of a more modular, detachable design. This approach makes the Flow Z13 more useful as a tablet because you don't have the keyboard rotated around and lying on the back of the display when in tablet mode. It's less useful as a laptop, however, because the detachable keyboard is about as far from a gaming keyboard as you can get, RGB backlighting or no. The upgrade to RTX 3050 Ti graphics and a 12th-gen Core i9 processor make the Flow Z13 powerful for its size, but it remains a specialized product for users with specific needs. You'll need to have some deep pockets, too. But high-end tablets always come at a premium. A similarly configured Microsoft Surface Pro 8, for example, would cost nearly as much as the US$1,900 (AU$3,400) ROG Flow Z13 with a lesser CPU and merely integrated Intel graphics. In that light, the Flow Z13 represents a fair value if you want a Windows tablet that lets you dabble in some gaming when the workday is done.

With the ROG Flow Z13, Asus dropped the convertible design of last year's Flow X13 in favor of a more modular, detachable design. This approach makes the Flow Z13 more useful as a tablet because you don't have the keyboard rotated around and lying on the back of the display when in tablet mode. It's less useful as a laptop, however, because the detachable keyboard is about as far from a gaming keyboard as you can get, RGB backlighting or no. The upgrade to RTX 3050 Ti graphics and a 12th-gen Core i9 processor make the Flow Z13 powerful for its size, but it remains a specialized product for users with specific needs. You'll need to have some deep pockets, too. But high-end tablets always come at a premium. A similarly configured Microsoft Surface Pro 8, for example, would cost nearly as much as the US$1,900 (AU$3,400) ROG Flow Z13 with a lesser CPU and merely integrated Intel graphics. In that light, the Flow Z13 represents a fair value if you want a Windows tablet that lets you dabble in some gaming when the workday is done.

In that light, the Flow Z13 represents a fair value if you want a Windows tablet that lets you dabble in some gaming when the workday is done. It also gives you the option to double down on its gaming capabilities with the RTX 3080-based XG Mobile, which allows the Flow Z13 to morph into a highly capable if undersized gaming laptop. At a combined cost of $3,400 for the Flow Z13 and XG Mobile, however, you must really have a need for such modular versatility to stomach the cost.

80% Asus ROG Flow Z13 review: A full-fledged gaming PC disguised as a tablet
Source: Good Gear Guide English
The modular Asus ROG Flow gaming tablet just got more modular. Last year's ROG Flow X13 featured a convertible 2-in-1 design with a 360-degree hinge that let you rotate between laptop and tablet modes. The new ROG Flow Z13 ditches the display hinge and opts instead for a detachable keyboard that can act as both an ultraportable laptop with its kickstand kicked out and a tablet with the keyboard detached and not swung around and stuck to its back. In addition to tweaking the design, Asus also upgraded the internals. For the biggest upgrade, the ROG Flow Z13 swaps out the middling GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU of the Flow X13 for RTX 3050 Ti graphics. This allows for greater gaming capability. And, should you reach for a AAA title that needs more muscle than the internal GPU can provide, the Z13 can connect to Asus's eGPU module, the XG Mobile. This device bumps the graphics up to Nvidia's potent GeForce RTX 3080.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is an undeniably impressive and exciting product. Its build quality and overall design are top-notch and it performs well for both productivity and gaming. At such a high price point, though, it's very hard to recommend over a traditional gaming laptop, which can offer you superior components at a much lower price.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 Hands-On Review: Crazy or Crazy Powerful?
Source: Unbox English
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is not going to be for everyone and we think they know that. This tablet is going to be for the people who are going to be willing to pay to get a front-row seat to the innovation of the Republic of Gamers team. You can get a higher specced gaming laptop with the price that they’re selling this tablet for but — as the tagline on the back of this device says — this is going to be “For Those Who Dare”. It is pretty exciting to see where they’re going to take this though and what the mad scientists in their R&D team have cooking for us next.

In our limited time with the ROG Flow Z13, the device proved itself as something from the future. I still can’t wrap my head around this device, how can we have something so small and portable be so powerful? I can use it as a full-fledged laptop, then turn it into my office/work device then immediately dock it to the XG Mobile to become a full-fledged gaming station. The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is something that we never thought could exist, but it’s here and it’s amazing to say the least. This may be the beginning of something in the world of tech and ASUS may just be getting started, but for what it’s worth, it’s a helluva start.

86% Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2022) Review Ft. Rog Xg Mobile — The First Of Many Gaming Tablets To Come?
Source: Pokde English
For the whole package, you will be looking at an eye-watering RM15 999 hole in your wallet. The price really isn’t the main issue here, but the fact that you can’t take full advantage of the GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU with a 4K 60Hz display. For gamers, the FHD 120Hz display is definitely the better option. I really, really hope that ASUS Malaysia will reconsider selling the ROG XG Mobile separately, or at least offer it as an option to bundle it with a variant featuring a FHD 120Hz panel. It is really only because of this limitation that I can’t give the ROG Flow Z13 a Gold Pokdeward, as I know I just can’t buy the fantastic combo I tested here in Malaysia. So yeah, if you want a Gold Pokdeward, you know what to do, ASUS.

60% Asus’ ROG Flow Z13 Is A Surface Pro That’S Got Game
Source: The Verge English
It sounds like a failure on Asus’ part that I can’t recommend the Flow Z13 to most people. But it’s far from a total failure as a product. It offers a glimpse of how awesome the future of portable gaming will be. And none of the laptops that I just recommended come close to being as thin or versatile as the Z13. With that in mind, this tablet is a reminder of how awesome the now of portable gaming is. And the Flow Z13 is a peak example of how Asus leads the industry by actually bringing concepts like these to life — price be damned. It’s a pretty good laptop, and with expectations in check, it’s a good gaming tablet, too.

The ROG Flow Z13 is quite a unique product, a powerful all-purpose computer in a compact 13-inch tablet form factor. In very few words, you can think of this one as a thicker, heavier, and more powerful Surface Pro, and given the popularity of that series, I can see this appealing to a fair segment of potential buyers. I for one have never been a major fan of tablet-like computers, as I prefer the superior ergonomics of a 2-in-1 convertible or the simplicity of a clamshell design, but I can nonetheless acknowledge at least two major advantages to this design of the Flow Z13: better cooling and a more comfortable daily-use experience, as you’ll rarely come in contact with the warmer parts of the chassis, as they end up tucked away on the back of the device. They’re both crucial aspects on this Z13, which packs more powerful hardware than any other 13-inch computer on the market in such a compact format. In fact, based on our tests, this is a more competent multi-purpose computer than a fully specced Dell XPS 15 or many mid-tier 14-inchers.

Source: Kitguru English
There are clear downsides though. 16GB of RAM is hardly inspiring for a device of this calibre. That will actually be a deal-breaker to many potential customers. ASUS insists on using a mediocre SSD even for a high-end, pricey device like this. The battery life is not very good and realistically will struggle with a working day of general usage. And, most annoyingly, the single USB Type-A port on the ROG Flow Z13 is USB 2.0 spec. That’s utterly ludicrous. I am actually struggling for the words to explain how ridiculous that is for a 2022 device. We will give ASUS credit for innovating with the ROG Flow Z13. But that innovation comes at a serious cost and really does present pricing as an issue, because the ROG Flow X13 AMD with its Ryzen 9 5900HS is £700 cheaper for the eGPU or non-eGPU solution. At £700 extra for the Intel-equipped ROG Flow Z13 edition, you have to put some serious weight on the truly tablet form factor here.

It's difficult to come to a single, simple conclusion about the Asus ROG Flow Z13. On one hand, a legitimate gaming tablet is a head-turning idea, and the Asus' design and execution are high-quality. Its gaming performance equals that of many entry-level gaming laptops, which is impressive given the Z13's relative thickness and size. And the eGPU hookup, often a headache, works fine. Ultimately, however, we have to ask if this solution is better than existing alternatives. The tablet on its own approaches premium gaming laptop pricing for entry-level gaming performance, while being thicker and heavier than productivity-focused tablets and relatively short on battery life. And while it's hard to resist the extra performance you get with the XG Mobile, the combination is super expensive, as much as $1,000 more than comparable gaming laptops. If you throw out price as a consideration entirely, it's a nifty setup, but we have a hard time recommending the tablet as a standalone gaming solution or justifying the additional price of the eGPU.

If you like the idea of Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8 but are put off by the integrated graphics on offer, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 may appeal to you. The impressive internals – including a top-end 12th-gen Core i9 processor and Nvidia’s RTX 3050 Ti – offer a decent gaming experience in a form factor closer to a standard tablet than a traditional gaming laptop, offering a more lightweight, portable design that’s easy to throw into a rucksack. The 13.4in Mini-LED display is much brighter than rivals, the design is intuitive and the form factor means it's versatile in use too. However, whether the RTX 3050 Ti performance will be good enough in a few years’ time is yet to be seen, and unlike some gaming laptops, the components can’t be upgraded. You do have the option to pick up the XG Mobile dock which brings not only RTX 380 power but more USB ports, display connectors and Ethernet connectivity for a more desktop-esque experience, but it’s a sizeable added cost on what is already a premium gaming device.

Asus aced the design and screen options, didn't skimp on inputs, features, or the IO, and made sure the thermal design is perfectly capable of coping with the specs inside in demanding loads. On the other hand, the middling efficiency on battery with the Intel 12th gen hardware and the ergonomic particularities of the tablet format should also be considered in your decision, as a potential buyer.

ROG Flow Z13 First Looks: An impressionable and versatile gaming tablet
Source: Hardware Zone English
In my time spent with the Flow Z13, I’ve tried using it for some of the functions that I normally used my iPad Air (my morning news and emails) and home laptop (doing actual work) for. It’s certainly not a replacement for either of them. For one, it’s too heavy to be my tablet replacement and secondly, the keyboard just can’t quite match up to normal laptop’s more stable keyboard. But I do see a gaming audience who wants something in between that can also play some of their favourite games at the same time.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 GZ301 gaming tablet – what to expect and first impressions
Source: Ultrabook Review English
The ROG Flow Z13 is expected in stores around Q1 2022 and from what I’ve been told, might start at under $1000 for the base models with the FHD+ screen and Iris Xe graphics only, and should match the Flow X13 convertible in price at the higher-tier configurations. The keyboard folio is included by default, and a compatible Asus pen will also be available as an extra option. The form factor is for sure an antagonizing point for this series, with advantages in performance/cooling over other ultra-compact products, but also disadvantages in practicality and ergonomics when not using this on a desk. Still, I do expect this Flow Z13 to be possibly the most powerful small-format computer of its generation, and for that reason a potential option to a handful of you, especially when you factor in the ROG XG Mobile compatibility and the ability to connect peripherals and eGPUs via Thunderbolt 4, which the Flow X13 2-in-1 series lacks. For what is worth, Asus are launching updated XG Mobile units this year, with either Nvidia or AMD graphics inside.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 GZ301ZC-LD027W

The latest from Asus is none other than the ROG Flow Z13. This laptop is a normal convertible with an integrated kickstand along with an attachable keyboard. It is something quite similar to the ones seen in Microsoft Surface Pro for years. However, it is worth noting that the Flow Z13 is considerably more massive and heavier. Nevertheless, due to its higher weight, the convertible tends to look rather premium, and this impression is supported by both the stability and workmanship of the aluminium case. As for the integrated kickstand, it allows a maximum opening angle of up to 170 degrees. While the material might be very thin, it does not bend when the angle is changed though. It is also worth mentioning that the two hinges are very well adjusted in principle with only a slight degree of play.
Apart from that, both the volume rocker and the power button are neatly integrated into the case. This also includes the fingerprint scanner. The overall design language of this model is definitely in line with the ROG laptops series, falling perfectly in the category of a gaming tablet. In addition, there is a small window on the back of the case which can be illuminated and supports Aura Sync technology (just like the keyboard backlight). However, this tends to create a small hump, which is the reason for the tablet being unable to lay flat on its back and wobbles. On the other hand, the fan grilles on the back have also been implemented as design elements, so they are hardly noticeable. There is also a large Republic of Gamers logo on the top, which is flanked by the two fan outlets.
As far as its attachable keyboard is concerned, it doubles up as a cover and protects the display when the device is not in use. At the back of the cover, it has some sort of velour finish, which feels nice to the touch and provides a good grip, but also picks up dust and dirt very quickly. In terms of its display, Asus offers two different 13.4-inch IPS touchscreens in a 16:10 aspect ratio for the ROG Flow Z13. In a nutshell, the subjective image impression is quite good, and everything looks very sharp, even at the lower Full HD resolution. The ROG Flow Z13 comes with three CPU options which includes Core i9-12900H, Core i7-12700H and Core i5-12500H paired with either GeForce RTX 3050 Ti or Iris Xe Graphics GPU options. Mostly the models offer 16GB of RAM each. It comes with 1TB of storage. As for its battery, this laptop has been equipped with a 56Wh battery. Overall, it is a good gaming laptop to be owned, depending on the need and preference of the user.

90% ROG Flow Z13 Review: A mobile device built around a gamer's lifestyle

I truly considered the ROG Flow Z13 one of the gaming company’s best innovations yet. Granted, the ROG Flow Z13 is also arguably ahead of its time. But if anything, it offers a wondrous peek at what the future of “mobile” gaming could possibly look like. And I got to say I like what I am seeing.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301ZC-PS73) is a design masterpiece and makes for a remarkable powerful tablet, but the12700H and RTX 3050 can’t give their best in such a confined space. As for the ROG XG mobile graphics dock and its RTX 3080 graphics, it’s a similar story.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 review: A performance-centric all-in-one portable device
Source: Business Standard English
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is essentially the Microsoft Surface Pro by design with performance of a gaming laptop. Its tablet form factor and multi-utility orientation make it a first-of-its-kind device with portability of a screen, versatility of a tablet, and performance of a laptop. Importantly, it works well in all supported formats. That said, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 ticks the right boxes. But its underwhelming on-battery time puts a stinker on the otherwise well rounded package.

94% ROG Flow Z13 (i7+RTX 3050) w/ XG Mobile (RX 6850M XT) Gaming Tablet Review
Source: B2G English
As a gaming PC, the biggest competitor to the ROG Flow Z13 is not any laptop or tablet… its actually the Steam Deck by Valve. With both machines able to transform into a gaming PC, the Steam Deck trumps the ROG Flow Z13 by being handheld playable and with gamepad controls already. As a work computer, the ROG Flow Z13 easily wins over the Steam Deck though as the option to do work is always present while the Deck doesn’t have this option and tethers you to a larger screen. Ultimately, the best use-case here would be a work-by-day/play-by-night scenario wherein your ROG Flow Z13 is your handy daily computer for study or work and once work is done or the weekends come around, you connect a gamepad to your Flow Z13 and hook it up to your XG Mobile connected to a monitor to serve as your gaming PC. Keeping in mind the limitations we’ve mentioned that’s unique to tablets, ROG has made the most with the form factor and future technologies will certainly improve on the weight, battery and thickness of this device but for now the ROG Flow Z13 is a really incredible device and matched for a specific use-case

ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Review
Source: Yugatech English
The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is a testament to how technology has evolved. It packs a lot of power inside this small form factor that you can easily use on the go. There aren’t a lot of compromises when it comes to this laptop at this size and it’s hard to find a competition that allows you to do so much with such a small device. Priced at PHP 99,995, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 gives you a lot for the price, especially against competitors who offer bulky laptops for around the same price. The XG Mobile meanwhile with the RTX 3080 is priced at PHP 89,995. With the versatility this device allows you, you can expect to pay a premium, but in my opinion? It’s all worth it to have a device that can do so much in such a small form factor. As they say, to be at the forefront of technology comes at a price, in this case, it’s all well worth it. You can check it out right here.

90% ROG Flow Z13 Review: A mobile device built around a gamer's lifestyle
Source: Hardware Zone English
Want to catch your favourite Netflix show on the couch? Fold the detachable keyboard to the back or remove it completely and place it on your lap. Do you love mixing EDM tracks? Connect a DJ controller to it and the Flow Z13’s touchscreen and kickstand allow you to turn it into a mixer. Oh, you really want to play high-end games too? Guess what, you can connect an ROG XG Mobile eGPU that’s powered by a GeForce RTX 3080 (the eGPU is sold separately) and turn it into a gaming powerhouse. In fact, the Flow Z13 is a great device for cloud-gaming services (hello, StarHub's GeForceNow). I truly considered the ROG Flow Z13 one of the gaming company’s best innovations yet. Granted, the ROG Flow Z13 is also arguably ahead of its time. But if anything, it offers a wondrous peek at what the future of “mobile” gaming could possibly look like. And I got to say I like what I am seeing.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 follow-up review – Iris Xe (GZ301ZA model), eGPU ROG XG Mobile performance
Source: Ultrabook Review English
Bottom point, the ROG Flow Z13 is an excellent match for an eGPU. Its advantages are the powerful CPU performance paired with an excellent thermal module that allows for good temperatures and quiet fans. The experience with the XG Mobile, on the other hand, can be improved. I didn’t get to properly test this last year, but having spent time with it now, I’m not happy with the internal GPU temperatures or the fact that the chip ends up thermally throttled in gaming sessions and longer GPU-heavy workloads. Hopefully, the 2022 XG Mobile update changes things, as it’s a slightly larger format with perhaps improved cooling capacity. However, if you’re planning on running your games and workloads on an external monitor and not sending the signal back to the 13-inch display of the Z13, you could also consider a Thunderbolt eGPU enclosure with this device. That way, you’re not tied to the few options available with the XG Mobile and its unconvincing cooling module, and also get to place a full-power graphics chip in your eGPU unit.

82% Geek Review: ASUS ROG Flow Z13
Source: Geek Culture English
The ROG Flow Z13 is a tablet-laptop hybrid that gives a gaming device the form factor of a productivity device. The strengths of a portable device like this is multi-fold, though some care should be taken, given that its hardware far exceeds the capacity of the battery. Still, if one can overlook this one bugbear, this is a decent choice for a work laptop while on the go, and for gaming when plugged in.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 hands-on review
Source: Laptop Mag English
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m excited about a tablet of all things. It’s hard not to be when it has such powerful specs. Now is the Asus ROG Flow Z13 going to be the portable gaming solution to end all our problems? No. While the Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU will allow it to play older titles at lower settings, in order to truly unlock the power, you’ll definitely need the XG Station, which makes it markedly less grab-and-go. Still, what Asus has accomplished with the Flow Z13 is seriously encouraging, particularly with the design, keyboard and display. I’m just hoping it won’t cost an arm, leg, soul and first-borne babe to play around with this intriguing piece of tech. Either way, I’m excited to get a consumer model and get to testing.

89.1% Asus ROG Flow Z13 in review: Madness - RTX 4060 in an impressive gaming tablet | Notebookcheck
Nvidia's new, more efficient RTX 40 generation makes it possible: the high-end graphics cards can be packed into ever smaller form factors. Asus takes this even further, simply installing an RTX 4060 in a 13-inch tablet instead of a 13-inch laptop. This comes with a magnetic keyboard, thus doubling it as a convertible. So can we play AAA games on tablets now?
60% Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2023) laptop review: Little beast or odd duck?
Source: PC World English
While it’s not the most performant gaming laptop around, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 is unlike any other device I’ve ever tested. Not only is it a very compact machine, it’s got plenty of power for a lot of games, and more than enough oomph for creative work. Its biggest weakness is by far its battery life, making it a poor mobile workstation, at least as long as you’re away from a wall socket. For my purposes, though, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 would be a much better mobile powerhouse with a high-powered AMD APU inside, like what comes in the Razer Blade 14. That way, the Flow could get great on-the-go runtime, have enough pep to run the occasional game on the road, but when back home can dock up with an external GPU for more resource-intensive games and programs. But, if you like your laptops small, but don’t want to compromise on power, then the Asus ROG Flow Z13 is an excellent little beast.

The ROG Flow Z13 is still a unique device, a powerful all-purpose computer in a compact 13-inch tablet form factor. In fact, it's significantly more powerful in this 2023 update than the previous generation, and offers a display that's better suited for everyday use, creative work, and gaming. Just make sure the format is right for you, and that the middling battery life suffices your needs.

ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2023) Review: AAA Gamer
Source: Unbox English
ASUS had a great idea with the original ROG Flow when it was released last time, but unfortunately, technical hurdles limited the potential of the gaming tablet. That’s no longer the case with the ROG Flow Z13 (2023), as advancements in GPU tech have turned the idea of a powerful, thin, and light tablet into reality. It’s not often that you’ll be able to play AAA games with graphical settings set to ultra in a random Starbucks, but that’s the flexibility and the freedom that the ROG Flow Z13 (2023) gives you. The only issue is the price – at Php 140,000, the ROG Flow Z13 (2023) is expensive, far more expensive than your typical high-end gaming laptop. But then again those things are usually not as powerful, or as compact as ASUS’ latest gaming tab.

2023 Asus ROG Flow Z13 review: Is this really a "tablet"?
Source: Techlusive English
Other than Apple fitting the M1 and M2 chips in its tablets, we are yet to see Windows machines take this power leap. While the ROG Flow Z13 has its shortcomings, it certainly knows how to make its presence felt. This is a stupidly powerful machine in a crazy shell that is meant to enable you to carry it wherever you go. You can use it as a standalone machine or hook it up to an external monitor and enjoy its full power at your beck-and-call. Of course, you can buy laptops with more horsepower from competing lineups, but this is going to be a different experience from a conventional gaming laptop. And that’s because Asus is headed in a good direction if it steadily keeps improving upon it. This is a second-generation product right now. But three or four years down the line, it could shed a lot of weight, gain some hours in battery life, and have even more power.

82% Asus Rog Flow Z13 (GZ301V) Review – Still A Niche
Source: Pokde English
The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is an incredibly specific product catering to a very specific niche – the people who wants a 2-in-1 that also happens to be capable of running AAA titles. You can find the first group of people fairly easily by itself, and you also can find plenty of gamers out there. I wonder how many people actually contemplated on buying this exact laptop, because even the Flow X13 would’ve been a much more sensible option – you still get touchscreens, better cooled hardware, slightly more expansive I/O and bigger battery too. At RM8,999 (the sole spec coming to Malaysia so far), this is far from the ‘value’ option even among ROG models, so you’ll need to evaluate if portability-over-performance is more suitable for you, or a more conventional performance-over-portability clamshell gaming laptop will get the job done better. If you happen to fit within that tiny niche of needing a high-performance gaming tablet and Flow X13 just won’t cut it for whatever reason, well – you don’t really have a second option, do you?

89.4% Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM Review - Gaming Convertible with RTX 4070 Laptop | Notebookcheck
Asus increases the performance of its gaming convertible ROG Flow Z13 and equips the ACRNM special edition with a Core i9-13900H and the new GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop. This means the 13-inch convertible can also handle modern games like Cyberpunk 2077 in the native WQHD resolution.

This is definitely a one-of-a-kind tablet that offers both performance and style. However, with an asking price of Rs 2,84,990, it is definitely one of the most expensive gaming tablets in the market. If you want a purely performance-oriented device, this might not be the right choice. However, if you seek a unique-looking tablet that also happens to be a powerful gaming device, this is a great option to consider.

80% Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM review: Where sheer quirk meets raw power
Source: Gadgets Now English
If you want a laptop that looks like no other laptop in the market, look no further than the Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM. It has a eye-catching design but it won’t be appreciated by everyone. The keyboard I am sure people will struggle with as it really takes a while to make sense of how the thing works. Asus perhaps stretched the quirkiness a bit much with the keyboard. But I guess that’s what they call “artistic license”. In terms of performance, the laptop delivers what most gamers would be looking for in a gaming machine. Gaming is a delight on the laptop even though some might find the screen size to be a bit small. The funk and quirk might be a bit too much for many. Especially when you consider the price. The Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM special edition costs Rs 2,84,900 and that is a lot. Even for a gaming laptop. All things considered, it is going to be a hard sell for Asus.

ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Acronym review – robust and fashionable beast of a tablet
Source: Laptop Media English
Whether this is primarily a gaming device or a fashion statement, we can’t really tell. We surely know that it is not for everybody. But on the other hand, regardless of the way you feel about the design, its hardware is nothing short of impressive. It is always nice to have a breath of fresh air in our office, and the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Acronym is definitely an open window to the Alpine forests. Its extravagance is matched by fantastic handling of the power, balancing between performance and efficiency to give you a product that will never disappoint. You have to keep one thing in mind with this machine – its 65W RTX 4070 won’t be on par with more powerful iterations of the same GPU. We are talking about a difference of between 10 and 30% when compared to the 105W RTX 4070 inside the MSI Stealth 16 Studio (A13V).

80% Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM review: this wearable RTX 4070 laptop is chaos
Source: Laptop Mag English
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM is not for practical-minded consumers — buyers who want to get the most bang for their buck. Why? Because the Origin EON16-S has the same exact specs — an Intel Core i9-13900H CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU — and it performed significantly better on our performance and gaming benchmarks. (On top of that, it's less than $2,000 via Origin's official website.) As such, no one in their right minds would purchase this bizarre-o Asus laptop over the Origin. But that’s exactly it, right? Asus didn’t design this for people with “right minds.” This laptop is for the wacky, edgy technophile who wants to give off an, “I’m an eccentric hipster with deep pockets vibe.” The ACRNM is for those who want to wear a conversation piece around their bodies while still emanating an air of experimental, cutting-edge fashion.

80% Y’all, this laptop is too much
Source: The Verge English
I’ve been an open-minded non-curmudgeon the whole way through this review, so I hope you’ll allow me to grump about one thing. I just can’t with the keyboard. It’s too much. The keys contain what Asus refers to as “Acronym’s own custom alphabet”. I’m happy to learn that Acronym has an alphabet of its own. Unfortunately, it’s not the alphabet I need to type with for work. I’m a very competent touch typist when it comes to words. But when I need to, for example, type a number on the Z13, it becomes a scavenger hunt. It’s not that the real numbers aren’t on the Z13’s keys, but they are buried in a dump of so many other symbols and colors and zany doodads that my eyes couldn’t find them instinctively. Other things just aren’t delineated. For example, the key that lowers the brightness is labeled “DARK” and has a little faint grid on it. I understand what you’re going for, Acronym, but I just want the regular brightness icon. You can jazz up the brightness icon. Just give me the brightness icon. Wacky designs are a wonderful thing until they begin to encroach on the everyday function of a device. Kooky laptops are laptops first. The Zephyrus G14 Acronym (which I raved about upon its release) labeled its keyboard keys in a storybook-esque font that made them easier, not harder, to read. It sprinkled other decorations around the keycaps, but they were clearly and obviously delineated from the keys’ real actual labels. Eye-popping designs are great, and this device is a unique offering you won’t find anywhere else on the market. I admire products that are unapologetically themselves, whether movies or clothing or consumer technology. But the fundamentals cannot fall by the wayside. And I hope companies, as they continue to innovate, remember that.

Source: Ultrabook Review English
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 ACRNM edition is kind of a mixed bag for me. It's a unique design and perhaps appealing to some of you, but the extra bulk and weight and the funky keyboard are not quite my thing, as I much prefer the cleaner design of the standard Z13 variants. At the same time, this Z13 ACRNM offers specs that are not available with the regular Z13s, such as 32 GB of RAM and a 4070 dGPU, and also runs quieter and cooler than the standard models, thanks to that slab of metal on the back of the chassis. But are these enough to justify the price premium?

Quick Review – ROG Flow Z13 (2023) GZ301 (i9-13900H | RTX 4050 (65W) | 2x8GB DDR5-4800 | 1TB NVMe SSD | 13.4″ 1600p 165Hz)

The ROG Flow Z13 is a special product that sits alongside their other gaming laptops. At RM 8,999, it is significantly more expensive than many other entry/mid-tier laptops that have more powerful GPUs for gaming, for example, at the same price you can get a ROG Strix G16 with RTX 4070. However, none of the other similar-priced laptops has the capability of detaching the keyboard and using it as a tablet. While the actual tablet gaming usability remains a question, ultimately, it depends on an individual’s requirements and use cases to justify the need for this device. In short, this is the most powerful Windows tablet money can buy right now.
