ASUS ROG Flow X13 vs Flow Z13 - Don't Choose Wrong!

Review and comparison of the ASUS ROG Flow X13 vs ASUS ROG Flow Z13. Both of these laptops can connect to ASUS XG Mobile GPU but offer a different form factor. Also one uses the latest I9-12900H while the other uses an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU. Hopefully this video helps you decide between the two.

As a car guy, love the sample video when you were talking about the displays! Right on

[@Quantum_Nebula]

Having used the Flow x13, I get a lot of people asking how there is so much performance in such a small form factor. It's very quiet when not gaming. I wanted something that was low profile for every day use for work with good battery, and when I wanna play a demanding game, I can swap to that. Fan control and power settings are important. In battery boost mode, I had it set the CPU to under clock to use less power. Significantly increased battery. I love this thing, -just need to get the Mobile GPU lol.- got it! Update 6/21/2022 - Flow x16: Asus Flow x16 just released, and I'm hella tempted to swap to it for the 3070 Ti configuration, but I'm reluctant on it due to the larger footprint and price. Update 9/6/2022 - Final Decision: I sized up the Flow x16 at the Microcenter store. @Kiri_36 mentioned it's $1k+ more, so I opted for the XG Mobile 3080 instead, and I think I've got the best portable rig money can buy in 2022. It runs everything and offloads the heat as it sits on my lap, which is a major benefit.

[@celinek2690]

The eGPU is nice but got its quirks. You have to be a bit patient and follow specific instructions for the connector.

[@RidwanGosal]

How much battery life do you able to crank out of the laptop by reducing its power profile?

[@Quantum_Nebula]

@@RidwanGosal Going to the advanced power options in control panel, I set the processor power management to use 20% on battery. It is kinda weird when changing, but what I noticed was the clock speed dropped to 1.20GHz from 2.20GHz idle with chrome open and browsing, with citrix (work) I got about 40 extra minutes out of it.

[@RidwanGosal]

Oh I see. Thanks for the answer!

[@ValentinoNicko]

I guess it's safe to wait the eGPU until the RTX 4000 series came out, Whether they continue the support for XG Mobile + using the same connector or not.

7:00 I’m legitimately shocked they put in a socketed Wi-Fi card for the 2022 x13 (my 2021 model has a soldered Wi-Fi card)!

[@EVRider]

Great comparison! Thanks especially for the Photoshop/Premiere comparisons. The idea of solid 4K video editing machines with such a small form factors is very compelling. Any thoughts on whether either of these could handle fairly light (under 10 minute videos, 5 layers or less) 8k video editing?

[@evelezpuma]

I think getting into 8k video editing you're going to need at least a 3060 for the extra VRAM. You could always get the XG Mobile with either of these two for the 3080 to be able to easily handle 8k editing, but that doubles the price

[@iamyeamin]

I had the X13 2021 last year. The AMD chip went up really hot unless you put the laptop in a tent mode (not practical while gaming unless you have an external keyboard or controller). For productivity work the battery was good however. I got around 8hrs (No Gaming). I bought the Z13 this year and using it for around a month. It's really good in terms of thermal management. It never went above 82 degrees even using the overclocking for CPU and GPU. And in silent mode the Z13 can give you around 6hrs battery. I am quite happy with this. But beware, it's not a lite tablet, that you can hold for long hours like an iPad.

@@AedxnUp to now I used it only for FullHD projects and it works like charm. Exporting to WMV format is slow (2x movie time base) but sufficient. Using 4k stuff during editing works. All with an external Disk (T7) on the USB port with ~300 MByte/s. Graphics delivers to a 4k external monitor.

[@123Suryasis]

Regarding the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Port in X13, Asus has promised, just like their other Ryzen 6000 series Laptops, that it will receive USB 4 update via a Firmware/Drive update. Technically the USB-C port is USB 4 in X13 but right now there is no driver and firmware support for it. That will eliminate some of the advantages Z13 has due to TB 4. What I understand correctly that for being used as a Laptop, X13 is a better buy due to combination of very good performance , keyboard and battery life whereas Z13 can be the best Windows Tablet. If you're really considering it for gaming then the eGPU dock is a must have and I think that $300 savings can be utilized over there, if you go with X13.

[@pengkritikkardus7807]

i've been used x13 like 1 year, i think this is kind of laptop that ASUS should make in the future. small factor & good performance. the problem is just the paint peeling off if u often use it in hot environment & ASUS should make the trackpad larger in the next gen of this device , the last thing that they need to replace is 2230 type of SSD to 2260/2280 type of SSD in notebook.👌

Depends on what kind of project do you plan to do on it. I would say that if you are a student, your projects are simple, and drawing in CAD software doesn't require a huge amount of vram, so any solid laptop without dedicated graphic card will do. I did my projects in MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS on a laptop that had vega 3, and everything was smooth and fast. Why would you waste money on these things. From my experience I got hyped about asus rog zephyrus g14, when I bought it for me it was huge disappointment. For a expensive laptop I experienced problems that I never experienced with lower end laptops. Stay away from overhyped products, unless you have enough money to waste.

[@DarkFox2232]

I want Z13 with Ryzen 9 6900HX and no dGPU. As power unrestricted integrated 680m is pretty close to 40W power starved RTX 3050. But not having that extra chip and power delivery leaves much more space inside for other things. Be it more efficient cooling. Bigger battery. Other/Full NVMe. ... (And apparently, gives potential for lighter device.) Secondly, one can go and buy external GPU box which is what is reasonable use of current Z13 variants. And then at low power draw side, AMD is currently better than intel, while Intel is better at high power draws. So mobility would be better. And Price? Just subtract price of RTX 3050. It would be winner on so many fronts. But from latest interview with Robert Hallock where he did talk about design wins, I have feeling that AMD did no score any "Tablet"/"2-in-1" devices and all we can look for are touch enabled devices with 360° rotation.

Efficiency > absolute performance any day of the week. This is why Apple Silicon is such a brilliant architecture - not because it bests the very best components (it doesn’t always), but because it competes using a fraction of the power. It makes both AMD and Intel look power-hungry, but Intel especially even with 12th gen and a 10nm process has a lot of catching up to do. Looking for maximum “frames per second” is useful for desktop comparison but I really like addressing battery life, fan noise, and live-ability with portable devices like these. Good job as always Matt!

Is there one with a P3 display?

I have just bought x13 with 5900hs. Where does this laptop stand with respect to x13 6900hs? Do I need to return older one for newer model. I will be gaming and using phoroshop

[@seattlephotoguy1980]

Performance is significant improvement on igpu (2x better with the 6900hs bc RDNA2 vs 5900) , the display is 500nits on the 2022 vs the 300 of your 2021, the 2022 uses ddr5 ram vs ddr4. I work at Best Buy pc department and waited for the 6000 series. If it is still within return period.... It would be worth it IMHO.

What is the chassis of x13 made out of? Thanks.

[@eeshanb4580]

does the x13 have a thermal issue/cooling issue?

[@DanaEatstheWorld01]

I got the x13 flow 2022 with the ddr5 6400 and the ryzen 6909hs. Pretty good for light tasks when traveling

Good review Mr. Matthew. I prefer X13 over Z13 any day since it's more value for money option. Also, X13 is future proof since its hardware is under the keyboard just like in any other laptops, whereas the Z13 has all its hardware including the battery under the display which is very risky. If its battery bulges or leaks, the whole hardware is prone to damages along with the battery, then you just have to throw the device away and get yourselves a new device. Also, the Z13 can't be used on your laptop like a normal laptop, you have to place it on a stable surface if you want to use the keyboard. You haven't covered the stylus in your comparison. I'm a student and I use my Galaxy Tab S7 for my note-taking and my laptop for all other windows related stuff which is burdensome if you wanna carry both devices. So, I'm planning to get myself a 2 in 1. I have researched some decent 2 in 1s like Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360, HP Spectre, MS Surface Pro 9 etc. but they all fall short in some important areas like performance, storage, os, price, stylus. Some devices are exorbitantly priced and some are heavy if you choose a higher specced variant. The X13 seems to be a capable all rounder but I'm not sure how its stylus performs and how optimised its apps are for tablet experience. I wanna know how it performs in apps like MS OneNote, Word, S Notes etc. but unfortunately no one seems to talk or make videos in this aspect.

I'm with the same problem, did you buy a 2 in 1? I'm looking up for the best option.

[@suneethdanielgouda1128]

@@paulamero9120 No, I have a Lenovo Legion 5. But someone I know had a Surface Pro the display of which came apart due to the bulge in the battery in just under three years after which the device was out of warranty and they had no choice but to discard it and get himself a new laptop. He regretted buying a Surface Pro.

Any idea if the rog flow x13 6900hs is good for music production? I mainly use ableton/fl studio with vst such as omnisphere/keyscape/kontakt libary

[@andrewmossop6547]

So for design and using a stylus which one you think?

[@CptAloevera]

Z13

[@sarawallner6363]

found the x13 for 1700$ the z13 is sadly arround 3k lol you americans have lovely prices... i could book a flight from europe to us and back for like a week and buy the z13 in us for the money it cost in eu. how does the lpddr5 6400mhz compare to a ddr5 4800? and how does the 40watt 3050 compare to a normal roundabout 80watt one?

[@myheroskryptonite]

I've watched so many videos. Can someone please tell me in plain language whether the asus x13 2n1 laptop will run my games like tomb raider and horizon without the mobile gpu. I don't want and cant afford the mobile gpu. but I want a 2in1 that I might as well be able to play games on. thanks
