The ASUS ROG FLOW Z13 Review by Tanel - With ELDEN RING, FARCRY6, CYBERPUNK 2077 Benchmarks!

[@johnzhao5194]

I've been using my Z13 for a few weeks now. The only cons are 1. SD card driver on XG Mobile keeps Z13 from rebooting. 2. Battery life is just ok. 3. It's a tablet so it's very "top heavy". You can't easily carry it around like a laptop.

[@TheTanelChannel]

SD Card issue should be brought to attention, clearly an oversight.. or maybe you can switch the boot device in BIOS?

Hi, how’s the typing experience?:) I need to work on it in the mornings and play at night :) thanks

[@johnzhao5194]

@@lkanety That depends on each person’s preference. The keys are pretty quite but also have some travel distance. I personally like it.

[@lkanety]

@@johnzhao5194 thanks :) I think I’m gonna go for it, I have a Logitech mk Keys just in case

[@keluxgorax4718]

i like the way you test games. keep up the good work!!

[@TheTanelChannel]

Thanks!!

[@YellowFunnyMan]

Btw if you change your settings in elden ring either raise or lower it without resetting the game the fps stays around the same. A trick i used for a pretty bad laptop was to set it at low then change it to medium/high, trust.

[@shahinhp6057]

Thanks man , it really helped me

[@yagoubalabbad1249]

awesome review!! its possible to use any 100w charger for it ? thanx

[@jorismak]

Doesn't appear to be. Tested one , and no. And I see others on the rog forums with the same expects8.

[@khadisonno6100]

Nice video , really enjoyed it. I wondering if we can recharge at least stand the charge by a regular usb A/Usb type C cable?

[@TheTanelChannel]

Interesting question but I never tried to charge or use the device without the included charger. Im pretty sure you can slow charge via a small phone USB charger but if the power gets too much I think it wont sustain charging it.

[@khadisonno6100]

@@TheTanelChannel thank you that's really help

[@superpupz]

Yes... u can. As long as ur regular c cable supports 100w and above. If not it will slowly discharge it if your tdp output is on the higher side as per playing games etc. But once u go to lighter tasks like just browsing etc, it will charge slowly.

[@jorismak]

USB c pd charger (so no USB a cable ). I can work all day long with a 65w charger and actually charge the battery. But while gaming, the battery DROPS with a 65w charger connected.

[@superpupz]

I had mine for 2 days. Love it but my top part of the right hand screen is clicky... like it's not sealed properly... not sure if it'd the same as yours.

[@yukatriblle]

same with me

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

perfect, mmo i forgot

[@MrFL08]

Super. I have a question, does the performance of the device (FPS etc) improve if its plugged in to power?

[@TheTanelChannel]

Yes, because battery saver is kicked in limiting gaming FPS to 30

[@MrFL08]

On all games you only get 30fps On battery?

[@TheTanelChannel]

@@MrFL08 yup

[@clare2439]

hey does this tablet have a cooling system/fans? Does this device overheat? thank you for this video btw! it was very helpful! 😊

why dont you plug in ,then play it will boost upto 15 20 fps

bro i orderd top spec model like your's for 1180$ i think thats a win

[@ethanr3288]

Where did you find one for that price?

[@amirdvg4398]

That very good video

[@nastrodomis]

I'll get mine one day. Ordered the newest 16gb/1tb/4060 from Best Buy almost 2 weeks ago. Fedex "lost it", now waiting for Best Buy to approve sending me another (pick up in store). Have this XG mobile 4090 sitting here lonely. Guess I can hook it up to my Ally and mess with that in the meantime. Replacing my old desktop with this so I can take my main pc with me anywhere I want easier than a laptop even.

[@TheTanelChannel]

Good to hear! Btw im uploading a review from the new 2024 ASUS Zenbook DUO.. I think that is a crazy good design if they could only make a ROG model with a 4000 series nVidia card or like with Flow, to be able to add a 4090 externally.

[@paradisefirefly]

🤔 Im very curious since it has a M.2 expansion right? And there is oculink adpater by GPD now i was wondering...... Hehehehehehe.....

[@marumisu9560]

Does the legion go perform better?

[@shadowaussien7743]

ROG shot themselves in the foot. you can't even buy XG mobile from asus unless you live in USA

[@superkoala2407]

elden ring doesnt run like that how you displayed it , looks like you didnt restart the game when u changed the graphics settings, for me elden ring on medium settings on my flow z13 the 3050 with i7 12700h model im getting average 55 to 57 fps on turbo settings.

[@MrFL08]

Hi, quick question, does the performance improve if you play plugged into mains power? Rather than just battery.

[@superkoala2407]

@@MrFL08 yes plugged in you can go into turbo mode witch gives more performance.

[@chaipani7189]

Nice review I ordered one but there is only the 4k option in my country so will have to make do

[@TheTanelChannel]

4K is too much for such a small screen and then the hardware too.. but should be fine to play on lower resolutions just you wont get that 120Hz possibility.

[@nicomilord]

i brought the gpd win max2 ans contemplating now if i should boughy the zflow13

[@nicomilord]

@aragonshow7637 To be fair, I don't have a good idea on the flow z13 battery life and stuttery mess, but i have a gpd win max 2. Battery is great but I really like the build quality of asus compared to the gpd.

[@razvanAB93]

Ghosting problems ?

[@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.... If they play the saving game on 3000 euros people think 1000 times....

does baldurs gate 3 play well?

Mic quality is really really bad. Unusable. 90% fan noise , 10% distant human voice.
