The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a gaming tablet aimed at running modern titles at playable frame rates, with a focus on productivity and creative tasks.
While the CPU got a significant upgrade, the GPU options are limited to integrated AMD Radeon 8060S graphics, making gaming performance more of a step sideways.
The tablet offers high-quality build, cohesive gaming aesthetic, outstanding IPS display, good keyboard, and solid tablet gaming performance.
However, it comes with a high price tag, is slightly thick and heavy, and doesn't provide a significant upgrade in gaming performance compared to its predecessor.
Specs include options for AMD Ryzen AI MAX 390 or MAX+ 395 processors, Radeon 8060S graphics, up to 128GB RAM, 13.4-inch QHD+ display, and various connectivity ports.
The tablet's design features a gaming laptop aesthetic, solid build with aggressive venting, and a distinctive RGB-lit design element.
Performance-wise, the tablet offers excellent productivity performance, impressive CPU capabilities, and competent gaming performance equivalent to an RTX 3060.
The display is a standout feature with high refresh rate, vibrant colors, and excellent brightness, while audio quality is average and may require external speakers for immersive gaming experiences.
Despite not being a significant leap in gaming performance, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 remains the best gaming tablet available, excelling in productivity tasks and creative work as well.
With potential optimizations and the option to add an RTX 5090 via external GPU enclosure, the tablet offers flexibility for both portable gaming and demanding stationary tasks.
