Asus ROG Flow Z13 🛑 One Month Later

I've spent over one month with the Asus ROG Flow Z13 and I must say, I had hoped for more out of this tablet. Should I have not expected so much? Maybe, but for creative professionals I wanted to hyper-focus on what we need as creators. ►⏩►⏩ Check specs and pricing in the links below…

During my unboxing of this laptop, I realized the genius and expertise of Asus. They are creating some of the best products in the industry right now. More than anything it is so important to look at your use case of a device, such as the Asus ROG Flow Z13, to evaluate the usefulness of the said device. If you want a laptop for video editing, then you have to consider its ability to contextually video edit in your specific type of workflow.
If you're someone ALWAYS on the go you will need to consider a very different device than someone that really leaves their studio, dorm room, or office to conduct your work. That is the perspective that this review comes from.

I work as a digital artist as well, and always had 2 laptops, one for gaming and one for touch, but this would make my life much more easy. I mean I don't think it was mentioned here, but to be able to detach the keyboard and just comfortably, lay down down somewhere on the couch or what not and either watch something or draw is for sure a huge plus.

[@brocky]

You showed more data on G14 6700s than I got on all other reviews on youtube. It solidified my decision to get the G14 with the 6700s! Thank you!

[@mikewtull]

Dude, I cannot thank you enough. I've been on the fence since I discovered this product and I have been waiting for this very video to be posted since you put out the unboxing. I'm going to wait for the next generation, which will hopefully have 32G RAM and a battery with more storage. Super stoked to have discovered your channel though. You've already helped me stay wise with my cash. Much respect 🤙

[@Meianju]

That's exactly how I feel about this tablet. It's pretty much the form factor I want but performance is what's is holding me back. So I also had the same idea you mentioned, laptop + tablet but it's to avoid needing to by two devices that I want a device like the Flow Z13.

[@forgedsanity2916]

They need to make this in a 16 inch format, huge sell for me. With two sizes to choose from, you can decide what you need most from portability or size- instead of only one of the qualities. This is the ultimate "tablet" replacement as well as "laptop" replacement there is out there. I know the X16 exists however that's not a full replacement because it cannot be disconnected from the keyboard and loses that purely "tablet" functionality. I will however be waiting for a new refined version of this with hopefully better battery, cooling & performance, keyboard refinements and additional ports.

[@liltorro4466]

For me, the battery life a a huge con. I bought the Z13 and use it in class to write notes on OneNote. With 20% brightness, battery saver and silent profile, I can only use it for 2 hours on battery. I wished they used a bigger battery or a Ryzen processor. Great review!

[@Terreos]

Yeah I ultimately did the same. If I could get around 5 hours out of it I would've kept it. But I was getting two or maybe three hours. It was great in almost every way, so it was heart breaking to return it. But, if it's not gonna perform one of the main reasons someone would want a tablet then it has some work to do.

[@woof508]

did you try it with Optimus on or into igpu mode only + with the screen set to 60hz mode? looking to purchase this for the same reason and looking for insights as well

[@allinone_707]

Why you want write notes in gaming tablet.? Get an iPad for notes and a separate gaming laptop. I think you can buy both for the same price you spent on this device

[@KiteoHatto]

Thats about my 7 year old surface book gen1 with worn out battery which im trying to replace lol.

[@blackastranyx6532]

I guess I should wait if there will be a 2023 model and hopefully the battery life improves. Otherwise maybe a portable charger can fix that?

[@WatDoino]

Thanks for the very detailed creative review. You did a fantastic job as I'm interested in creator productivity benchmarks rather than gaming. As far as I can tell, small ram, battery life, screen brightness are the biggest weakness for this device.

[@johnzhao5194]

Thanks for the review. I’ve been using this for 3 weeks. Battery is definitely an issue. Also the tablet form is a problem. It’s so heavy with sharp edges as a tablet. And also because it is “too heavy”, I found it hard to move this tablet around. Another big issue I have so far is the SD driver on the XG Mobile, I had to uninstall the driver or the tablet will reboot on its own regularly. But after all, since I had the budget for it and I don’t do many production work on the go, I ended up liking it a lot. This thing functions well and it just looks so cool.

[@johnzhao5194]

When I say “hard to move around”, I meant for example if you want to move it from a table to sofa, normally you hold the keyboard side of a laptop and go. But for Z13 you will have to take the tablet while the keyboard won’t stay in place. So you will have to close the keyboard which might put Z13 to sleep. Also because it’s touch screen, moving it without closing the keyboard or putting it to sleep just feel weird.

[@Gusbusbus]

This video answered my main questions about content creation thank you so much. I'm personally curious to know if it runs Unreal Engine 5 well - though I think I will wait for the next iteration for now.

[@sentragrafikakompumedia]

The Z13 runs UE5 with stock 3050Ti and XG Mobile. We personally use RTX A4000 and A5000 as eGPUs for UE5 with this Z13. The color on the 4K display in our unit is well accepted. We use Davinci Resolve Studio and Fusion Studio with Z13 on general purposes up to 4K res, just fine. For heavier task, we use the Zbook 17 and connect the RTX A5000 to it.

[@Elrinth]

Does it have the same problem as the X13 Flow where it would randomly register palm when drawing with a stylus?

[@healthfoodprep6677]

Hi, thankyou for this video, it was quite helpful. I would to hear your opinion on the drawing as I have heard it can be quite jittery. Would you be able to assist with advice on this? Is it the pen, program or the actual tablet that makes drawing quality not as clean and smooth? I use photoshop and illustrator to do my digital art, how does the drawing work out for these?

[@celinek2690]

I never had an issue using my Bamboo Ink Plus, but I use it primarily to draw organic chemistry reactions and solve calculus problems. I think it would be something to try in person if you are able to do so.

[@ailonid]

Thank you for this review! I was going through Z13 reviews and almost all of them are from a gamer perspective. Understandable, but something I don't care about. At all. Having said that, the reason I want the Z13 (and why I loved Surface Pro 3 back in the day even if underpowered) is something you didn't consider as a use-case. I work from a coworking space where I have a fixed space with a monitor, keyboard and mouse and a similar setup at home. So, I want a lightweight yet powerful computer (bad back, etc.) that I can carry back and forth. I also don't need a laptop keyboard 95% of the time - hence a "Surface" design would be perfect. I'm also plugged in 98% of the time so battery life is not the top criteria for me either. So, this thing seems almost perfect to me. Being capped at 16 gigs of RAM is a bummer though.

[@nathanielhiwandika4824]

Does plugging most of the time makes the device faster to detoriate or is it just fine?

[@ugoaccessories7895]

Do you have any charging issues or keyboard issues that i read in the ROG forum?

[@pixbstudios]

Thank you very much. Battery life is a big one even though it is portable. I would consider something less power-hungry with the same form factor.

[@ugoaccessories7895]

Do you have any charging issues or keyboard issues in this Flow Z13 that i read them many times in the ROG forum?

[@stsstz2586]

That is always the comment if a small form factor joins a lot of performance. The next problem is the heat emission, in many case the processor will be even throttled.

[@hartlytartly]

10:11 well yes, but not for the last 3 years. Fan noise is largely dependent on two factors; the design of the cooling solution, and the configured tdp of the chip (which can be done no matter which platform you go with, AMD or intel). In other words; in a thermally constrained environment, which a laptop is, the only thing that matters is performance per watt, and comparing the 12700h and 6800h, the amd chips performs better in 45w and under and the intel chip performs better at 45w and higher. As such, it is very likely that going with intel for a thin and light 2-in-1 was a mistake.

[@Giovanni-zs2xh]

one question, without the external GPU. is it still decent enough to open and adjust 3D drawings like Autocad at the costumer without freezing or lagging performance? and how long would the battery last? great video btw!! keep going

[@celinek2690]

2022 version has the RTX 3050 Ti. The 2023 version increases to RTX 3060 (the Acronym version increases to RTX 3070 with 32GB ram, matching top spec'd 2023 Asus X13 redesigned model). Refresh rate also increased to 165Hz. I think either the Asus X13 or Z13 2023 would be the better path for better performance.

[@dqkneely9803]

i just bought the limited edition acronym edition. im super excited and cannot wait to test it out. its easily the most expensive device i have ever purchased but it should suit my needs for the next 5yrs. hopefully.

[@celinek2690]

OMG Same! The fact that it is the only 32GB ram with RTX 4070 (top spec'd Asus ROG Flow X13 2023 is the same) just makes it worthwhile!

I kinda understand why this device would appeal content creators on the go since most of the Adobe's suit of software are Intel-biased in terms of optimization.. but yeah, 100% agree with you.. putting in a processor this power-hungry (even for normal laptop-standard, albeit better efficiency than prior generation) is a bad move & they should've put the Ryzen 6900HS instead (I've seen reviews that the battery life of the 2022's X13 is about up to 5 hours longer than 2021's) - hell, put in a 6800U if they have to & this thing will perform pretty competitively but with million times better battery life that's perfect for a laptop, let alone a tablet like this. I just wish that Adobe can significantly optimize their creative apps for AMD's silicon.

[@agostinoabbatecola4289]

If they make a 14-inch OLED version (the current panel sucks, I've seen it live, it's pitiful, let's face it). With a bigger battery (since then the space is there), 56Wh not even 2 hours do you do with Google Chrome/Opera/Edge.... eating up all the resources with its awesome CEF or whatever, like GPU with DLSS/RTX eating watts like they are chips. Then damn these mini trackpads, it's so much space, why make a square. This tablet/laptop has always been a dream, however on 2000-3000 I expect quality. Another thing on a gaming PC 1TB is nothing, why put a chipset that supports max 1TB, so you can't expand...bhoo. Before they put a solution, they reflect or not....

To be fair would I have wanted to see 8-9 hour battery life. Sure I do on a device this large, but if you want that, go for the surface pro 8. It has a weak processor, weak memory, no dedicated GPU and it will get you 8-9 hours of battery life. Honestly, what this sounds like is a person complaining that they have a 1000hp car and can only go 200 miles while that there other car, though still face and only has 800hp can go 400 miles. There are so many variables tat goes into this and for a 13 inch packing all that power, in such a small chassis and still gets over 6 hours, is still impressive. as far as ram goes, depends on what creative work you are doing and how much you have going on. You say 32GB is enough, I say no it is not. I max out on 32 gig on my normal rig when I have premiere, encode, and photoshop on. But on the go, my surface has only 16 gig of ram and if I am only doing premier or encode or photoshop (but no all at the same time) 16gb is way more than enough. With that being said, your other points on this tablet are solid and on point.

Yeh, another youtuber who "forgot" to mention the annoying high pitch fan noise!

Do you have any charging issues or keyboard issues that i read in the ROG forum?

[@nand42]

@@ugoaccessories7895 - nope, at least not until now… I‘m using the original charger as often as a third party one… Using both usb-c ports frequently to charge… No issues… The only annoying thing about it is still the high pitched noise, produced by fans 🤷‍♂️😅
