- ASUS ROG Flow Z13 2.5K 180Hz 3ms ROG Nebula Touchscreen 13.4" Convertible 2-in-1 Gaming Notebook AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 32GB RAM 1TB SSD Off Black

I purchased the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 recently, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is sleek yet durable, and the performance is outstanding—whether I’m handling HRIS systems, multitasking with Microsoft Office, or enjoying gaming sessions like Hogwarts Legacy or Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Performance: Fast boot-up, smooth multitasking, and excellent graphics for both work and play. Portability: Lightweight and versatile, perfect for hybrid work setups and remote productivity. Warranty & Coverage: The Gold Premium Care package gives me peace of mind with accidental damage protection and battery service for years to come. Customization: I love being able to personalize it (I even named mine), which makes the device feel like part of my digital ecosystem. Overall, this laptop balances power, flexibility, and reliability. It’s ideal for professionals who need a dependable machine and gamers who want immersive performance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a long-term investment in both productivity and entertainment.

If you have used the previous models this will live up to the hype. With the new Ryzen CPUs the battery life on normal tasks is several hours, no longer the hour it has been with the GPUs. This was a pleasant surprise. For years I've looked for a good 2 in 1 laptop tablet for travel and work. Many of the units don't have the power. Ports are always missing. Charging is a pain. I even tried the original EVE Tech V as a possible option (don't bother with EVE Tech/Dough, hype over performance and delivery). These provide power, charging through any USB C (albeit slow on small bricks, LoL), quality screens, a keyboard that doesn't suck (expectations tempered for those of us with mechanical keyboards), an overall quick and quality experience. The only place these did not shine was in battery life but with everything else covered that has been acceptable to me. A 10,000mAh batter plugged in USB C has often gotten me through a few hours of work moving around a construction site or job project.

With 128 GB of RAM, this laptop isn’t just interesting for gamers, but also for online marketing consultants, LLM enthusiasts, and professional advisors. I no longer experience any performance issues, even when I have countless Chrome tabs open, I'm in Zoom calls, and multiple other applications are running at the same time. I can truly recommend this device to any professional. I bought it mainly because Microsoft Surface devices often come with only 32 GB of RAM and rarely (actually never) 64 GB — and usually with older chipsets. Anyone who wants to be future-ready and use this as a Surface replacement will not be disappointed. As a bonus: I had the device shipped directly from the US to Europe. Amazon handled the entire customs process. Absolutely fantastic.The Best Surface Replacement I’ve Ever Used

Came on-time, box packaged great, device works. HOWEVER, this product is VERY EXPENSIVE and for it to come out the box with no drivers (wifi drivers) caused me to wait an additional 2 days to use the product because I needed to buy an adapter for ethernet to download all the drivers. Rgb on back and on track pad didn't work correctly until asus released patches. Would have been 5 stars but with the driver issues...it just made it a pain.

This is a great device... In theory. Unfortunately it has been extremely unreliable for me. The system is unstable and will freeze or randomly fail to wake from sleep. Only a hard reset (power button for 15 seconds) will bring the system back. You can imagine how awkward this is when it happens in front of a client. It happens pretty much every time the system sleeps. But then sometimes it will wake itself in the travel case, even with the keyboard closed. It will then drain the battery to zero and get extremely hot. I am running Windows 11 with the very latest BIOS and firmware updates from Asus. I have tried doing a clean install but the issues persist. This started from day 1 and has progressively gotten worse to the point that I have lost important work. I can no longer trust it with important work assignments or while giving a dissertation. The keyboard backlighting rarely works, even when toggled on and off. Its a buggy mess! I'm now outside the return window, but I regret buying it. If you do buy this I hope your experience is better, but mine has been a nightmare. Been an ROG user for 15 years, but I'm actively shopping other brands to replace this pile. A shame because the form factor and specs had the potential to be amazing.

Well received.

This is undoubtedly one of the best performance devices available. Amazing hardware quality, and not only for gaming, but all workloads are processed super smooth and hyperfast.

After three months with this laptop, I want to share a clear, honest review. Gaming performance is excellent. I bought it mainly to play Black Myth: Wukong (BMW), and I’m happy to say I finished all challenge modes on this machine. For that alone, it feels worth it. The downside: it’s an AMD laptop, but mine shipped with an Intel-leaning Windows setup/drivers, and that caused the exact issues others warned about—freezes, random lockups, and forced hard resets. Reinstalling Windows with the proper AMD drivers/software stack should solve it. For a 3K laptop (especially in Canada), ASUS should have done better out of the box. That said, it’s still one of the coolest-looking laptops I’ve owned. Just make sure you understand the trade-offs before buying.

Very powerful machine and ideal for local LLM development, it will get hot when running LLM or playing video games. But unlike other typical laptop that the weight is on the keyboard side, this one is on the screen side. The good thing is that the keyboard is nice and cool. The cooling system is letting air flow from the back and out at the top, so make sure there are enough room from the wall, that said, do not cover the back with any cover.

Super expensive for what it is. -There are laptops with higher performance at a lower cost. -There are tablets that are lighter with longer battery for 1/5 of the cost. You'll need an exact use case for this hybrid. For me, I didn't want to "upgrade" my ROG Ally to the Ally X. It's a whopping 10 percent performance increase. I'm now using the Z13 along with XR glasses to fully play all my PC games on the comfort of my bed. It's something that the ROG Ally *can* have problems with depending on the game. No more wondering if it's going to lag, the Z13 crushes every game in my steam library at 1080p 120hz (the resolution of my XR glasses). ... It's still expensive AF.
