ASUS ROG Flow Z13-ACRNM RMT02: Super STYLE and furious FLOW

[@eccodreams]

Holy crap I want this thing. The aesthetics and the price are a bit much for me, but the functionality is exactly what I would want in a portable computer.

[@RentedLipz]

Don't buy it I bought it, and within 1 hour it broke. Returned it and they fixed it. Upon return they never included the keyboard. ASUS is not selling replacement parts for this unit. I spent close to $3k on this unit with no keyboard. They advise find an alternative unit.

[@eccodreams]

@@RentedLipz Damn, that's rough... keep emailing them and keep putting in RMA requests!

[@Fr4nkSanchez]

@@RentedLipz I am wondering how you broke it, I bought it and it has been great so far. I dont do gaming, but it is very versatile for my work it handles heavy software such, autocad, solidworks, virtual machines and no lag. However, I switch my work and my company gave me a shitty laptop, I am doing mostly managment work now and I am not using it anymore, its sad because I like it

[@methodgrab5764]

i am currently using this laptop as i type this comment. i love everything except for the keyboard. If you hook up a wireless m&k setup to a USB splitter it is VERY close to a desktop replacement. This review is spot on. Great video!

[@LesterDarioDeLaCruz]

I got the surface laptop studio 2 instead and have regurts, can you use a non ACRNM keyboard with yours?

[@TheQuangBang]

For me the design is phenomenal, a blinding beacon amidst the grey Macbook clones of the last five years that all look the same, converging towards a square with rounded edges.

[@POVwithRC]

That's somewhat desirable to my inner cnc nerd

[@liamcollinson5695]

I know it's the super decked out extreme expensive version but I really prefer the design of the normal version this one looks almost like a engineering sample

[@federicoeero1751]

I was definitely interested, but for some reason retailers here in France have decided to sell it for 1k more than the price announced by Asus and Acronym..

[@SaccoBelmonte]

Looks like something out of Night City. I love it.

[@mrapplepie9826]

The lightest 4070 laptop in the world I'm sure at just 1.1kg and doubles as the most powerful tablet EVER. FOR $2500 - £2000 that's really not that bad

[@Bomb6A9Head]

why can't normal version have 4070 aaah

[@NaanStop96]

Almost had me, personal opinion....I wish you could remove the bumper shell. I understand that's the draw of this variant, but it would be nice to have the option to remove it from time to time. Unless Asus is planning for a 4070 variant for the traditional Z13 Flow?

[@oldairpatino757]

Haven't watched you since the early Android authority days! Glad to see you doing well! Also love the review. You give some good insights on screen quality and brightness that I feel other youtubers are missing on this device

[@andyH_England]

Obviously a very niche product and not really for me. Good to see them catering for the unusual, and hopefully it will pay for itself.

[@neerkum5428]

I'm just glad asus is still continuing this gaming convertible tablet line, can you give a rough estimate of the battery life?

[@crearg8259]

I saw some users with 4060 model claimed it died within two hours using only iGPU with light load…so…PD charger is still needed

[@illuminaughty7957]

I was considering to buy this, or getting the new zephyrs. But I think i'm leaning towards this one, especially with the perks, the portability. My only concern would be thermals considering this is a 4070 on a tablet.

[@jvtechtea]

It seems to keep from burning up, but I haven't necessarily pushed it too hard aside from rendering videos

[@珂朵莉真愛]

the thermals on this laptop is really good cuz it's different from the traditional laptop design which gets air in from the below, it would be maximizing at 75 degrees in the most demanding games i think the only concern for this laptop I think is the battery life, the i9 is just not as efficient as the amd zen4 processors... but if you don't care about this then you should go for it otherwise, just wait for the flow x13 with 7940hs

[@rikaze]

@@珂朵莉真愛 genuine question though, I feel like the average person who lives in a city of some kind would have access to a power point/socket in most scenarios they'd have to use a laptop? (E.g. at work, in school, at meetings, even on planes). is battery life that's 5~6 hours a considerable quality of life problem for most people? Like do most people work on the go, away from power supply that much? Or is it merely the principle of the matter, like you're paying x-amount of money and so expect a certain level of battery life associated to that price tag?

[@yianovich]

​@@rikaze thing is, you get to school for example, you whip up your laptop and you start doing your stuff, getting to a wall outlet normally means either being where a lot of other people are or going somewhere where there isn't a table or a chair for example in a corridor. Now also you get to school and you forgot to put your laptop to charge, the better battery life it has the bigger probability of it still having some juice before you have to plug it in and also nobody likes a hot laptop wired in sitting on their laps😂

[@mi5iu491]

This is actually cool because the keyboard won't get hot. Thermals are the same as other laptops with similar specs

[@marz_47]

This with an nreal air or rokid max 🥵. Life just gets more and more cyberpunk

[@Itscharlie_hr]

loved the specs but I kinda have mixed feeling with the exterior design

[@charliekirk8862]

As an engineering student, I want, ultimately workshop computer, scratch it, oh well, back on the Cnc it goes for another end mill pass 😅. Kinda funny as well, use a ROG strix atm but bought a iPad for class as lugging the the thing around was a pain, this honestly serves every purpose in one.

[@schmecklin377]

I got a strix as well. Love that thing but lugging it to class is a lot.

[@kylepaxton431]

I had to buy this after seeing your video. It was love at first sight

[@niko1even]

I was going to pre order the Flow X13 GV302 when that comes out, but seeing this one being on pre-order and having basically everything the Flow X13 has AND has thunderbolt 4 and a higher wattage 4070, I am getting this one instead. I am so fucking excited, especially as a engineering student. edit: Thank goodness I pre-ordered it, it sold out the same day I did. Update: due to hearing the horrors of Amazon pre orders and due to time constraints, I decided to cancel the order.

[@t00hrd64]

[@GohanBurner]

Get in line.

[@nikkilongalong5793]

How much does it cost?

[@GohanBurner]

[@haikaldanial2709]

That strap is genius!

[@CircuitBoardcokr]

Tech + Techwear… really fascinating. the only thing sad is there is no tripod hole. such kinda people willing to buy that are usually working in creative industry, And many of them have cameras, photo studios, or sometimes outdoor activities. if 1/4” tripod hole was in it many more would have been bought it. For monitor, For capture/video switcher/broadcasting machine, and etc…

[@eric131313]

As an owner of old model i will say don't get fooled by the looks this thing will have horrible 3 hour everyday use battery life 💩 And no it won't change for better this year especially with upgraded components

[@rikaze]

It doesn't help that you can't get the batter replaced

[@_denis.kim_]

It gives me like 5 hours on battery in silent mode which I find even more performant than performance mode on my x1 carbon i7-1280p. I paired it up with with Baseus 100W power bank so I can have now up to 10 hours away from a socket. Fine enough for that kind of specs in such a small package.

[@mi5iu491]

Almost every gaming laptop with those specs gets that kind of battery life. I've had to tier spec alienware msi rog and every one of them barley hits 3. Gaming laptops are basically portable desktops. They're ment to ne plugged in for the most part

[@ignatiusloyolamulti1186]

Think they can make like a minimalistic design? making it look like an Ipad or something fo the sort?

[@C46G]

yes i was waiting

[@peterkoh5632]

A practical question is how sturdy is this thing? By carrying it around, there would be inevitable bumps here and there. It's not a Tough book for sure.

[@eitanyochanan8586]

I hope ASUS would give the patrons an option of choosing regular design from ACRNM (same specs); Metal-based 2-in-1s are bulky and heavy to carry around.

its metal because it has a 4070ti, the case itself is a thermal heatsink for the oversized gpu.

hello! I love the review and acronym is one of my favorite brands that definitely does come with a premium price tag. I was just wondering how good the battery life is for productive work in the fields? I am thinking of picking it up for a portable workstation for drawing and designing on the go but I heard the battery life on the flow z13 can be abysmal in some cases.

[@mcslender2965]

From other reviewers it should be about 6 hrs of office use

[@justinkimble4654]

What size battery 🔋 is it? I didn't hear him mention it.

[@KylePandapatan]

Intel CPU and Nvidia 4070....not looking good for heat, fan noise, and battery life. 😅 How are those measures? How is the screen response time? Hopefully not much ghosting.

Cool idea but it needs water resistant. What if you are waking with it and suddenly starts heavy rain ?

[@szusszanas]

Thought the same when i saw how to carry it around on the official page.

[@w0rkhop555]

They designed the sling with functionality in mind with another jacket in the acronym line where the laptop sits inside the back of a jacket, many ppl will be annoyed by this and assume its just company wanting you to buy new big thing but all acronym products are designed this way to be interactable with one another so its probably not for everyone

[@gamerdweebentertainment1616]

You can add eGPU to it... to the laptop with 4070 -.-'

Do not ever pull the keyboard off like that. You'll damage the ribbon cable and good luck finding a replacement ACRNM keyboard.

[@floatingrabbit3556]

Yeah that price tag needs to come with a bad pack and a definitely better off carry strap. At this point I feel I am paying more for a brand than an actual experience. Either that or I'm broke so I guess I'll be hanging on the to the rtx 3060ti until these products mature enough and get better priced.

Important question, Does it have a Sim card slot? LTE compatible or only used with WiFi? What if there's no WiFi connection available? As a digital nomad gadget that would be just carrying a piece of metal. Please if anyone knows the answer let me know.
