Buying a gaming laptop in 2021 usually means some sacrifices when it comes to performance, price and portability. But ASUS is trying something a bit new by designing a unique compact external dock with an RTX 3080 that plugs directly into an ultrathin laptop. This combination of the Flow X13 and XG Mobile dock is completely unique and it allows the Flow to do pretty much ANYTHING you could want!

Honestly it makes way too much sense for laptop manufacturers to put the gpu inside the power adapter like this. You can't use but a fraction of the power of a dedicated gpu when on battery anyway and the ability to use it separately saves battery life, cooling headroom, thickness/portability...the list goes on and on. I wish EVERY gaming laptop did this

@@AlejandroLZuvic Right, but if the main power consuming part (the GPU) is separate from the laptop, the actual laptop can use USB-C. You would have a big wall-wort with your beefy GPU in it that supplies 100W of power over USB-C to the laptop and a small just-charging USB-C charger for when you don't need the power. That's literally what the Flow X13 is and how it functions.

Even without the external GPU dock, this is still a great buy in my opinion as an Ultrabook. This thing costs lesser than Blade 13 and even a similarly speced XPS 13 9310 while offering more than double the cpu performance and probably 4X the GPU performance than Intel Iris XE IGP. Battery life of 10+ hours with this spec is pretty impressive as well.

Have seen stuff saying that it's a modified OcuLink-2 connection, so maybe not too proprietary as it may seem. Here's hoping for more support in that direction.

This is the best idea out of this year, a desktop replacement to do it all. I rather have this combo rather than a laptop, tablet and desktop pc and it is particularly useful for me since i use my note as a desktop replacement with a standalone monitor and messing with ethernet, power, usb and hdmi cables all the time is way annoying and a conventional gaming laptop is usually heavy and noisy which is not ideal for light or outdoors use. It needs some refinement though.

Great review, level headed, detailed, thoughtful, not over enthusiastic, not presumptuous... I could go on. This whole external GPU thing seems like a revolution to me, if they come out with some more variations of this with more onboard CPU and battery life focus and future upgradability then I'm absolutely sold. It's literally the perfect form factor for someone like me, can perform all the usual tablet tasks, mobile web browsing, email and movies etc, it's got enough power to start 3D design projects when visiting customers, then when I get back to the office I can plug in the XT and do the renders. Then when I get home I can go full man child on it. It seems incredible really, the newest all AMD version seems exciting to me hopefully with the lack of Nvidia GPU onboard it should have better battery performance and may end up being more affordable being all AMD when combined with the XT Radeon version. I want one, I want one now.

Thanks for not rushing this review out! I'm not sure that the connector is proprietary, despite what ASUS say. It's just USB C and PCIe OCuLink. There might be some proprietary software there and ASUS may have patented the plastic hook nubbins I guess. That said, I don't know of any other consumer devices that use OCuLink and with this being a niche device as it is; I wouldn't bet on anyone making alternative docks. Maybe they will as Thunderbolt 4 just doesn't have the bandwidth. I do wonder what to think of the rumours of a 3050M version. I hear that the 16XXM line has ended production and that ASUS have stopped production of the Flow to adapt to this.

So I was able to get one of the bundles with the 5900HS and 3080 XG Mobile at launch. I haven't been able to verify this with other users but at least on my unit on the 1200p 120hz panel there is some serious ghosting. Additionally I can't get DLSS to work. Not sure why but there is no performance uplift for me in DLSS enabled titles. Other than that I really don't have any complaints, I thought too that the XG mobile was pretty fragile but TSA managed to drop mine and there was no damage and it still works fine. I bought the flow x13 combo to replace a nuc extreme build for travel and I am very happy with it.

I hope that they will continue with this in the future but there's still a lot of room for improvements. In my opinion they should get rid of the on board GTX 1650 and just let it rely on the APU as it could increase batterylife and thermals dramatically since you can cool the CPU with both fans easily. The GPU dock is nice but a desktop class GPU would have suited this device better. Maybe if they make something that's more similar to an actual Thunderbolt GPU dock where you can insert any type of GPU into the PCIE slot. In that case, I'd definitely consider this device over a desktop.

Nice review! Thank you, can you help me out here? I am debating between this laptop (13.40", AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS, 16GB, 1000GB & NnVidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti) and the Microsoft Surface Book 3 (13.50", Intel Core i7-1065G7, 16GB, 256GB & NVidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q), both are 4GB of GPU. I will be mostly be using to travel with (vanlife) it and for video editing up to 5K 360 files from my insta360 camera with Adobe Premiere (also looking at easier workflows aps). Based on this, what would be your thoughts and recommendations, the battery inst that great on the xt13 right? I wont be using it with the external GPU in the future. Thanks in advance

So, at 17:31 you say it walks all over the Zephyrus G15, but the chart is labelled Zephyrus Duo. Is the data for the G15 or for the Duo? I've ordered a Duo and would be interested to know how it compares (in framerates at 4K) with the X13+XGMobile. If the chart labelling is correct, it seems like the XGMobile is often much better.

Love this machine and REALLY love the concept of it - it brings a whole new meaning to a the term "a good all rounder"! I do think the inability to upgrade the ram from only 16gb is a potential issue though.

I really hope asus continues to at least make new external gpus whenever nvidia or amd comes out with new ones. That would mean that you can upgrade the gpu whenever you want to without needing to buy a whole new laptop and thats really compelling in my opinion and its something more pc laptop manufacturers should do.

I want that Laptop as a standalone product with more ports. That CPU in that size, fricken amazing for my job. Just need 32 GB RAM to and I'm golden. Also, is there a difference in performance between using an external monitor vs the internal on the external GPU? It's a proprietary connector, most likely to work aound Thunderbolt's limitations so I'd think not but would still be intersting to test.

A friend brought an fair point of the issue. Which is weight. 2.9 lbs is good but bringing that along with the egpu would be similar weight to a thick gaming laptop further more is the issue of bringing it. It would be more cluttering to bring 2 or 3 pieces of hardware just to game which makes other thicker gaming laptops more reasonable to bring.

if they could add thunderbolt as a fall back to the egpu so you could use it on iother laptops too it would be cool.

If asus continue to expand this dock connectivity to other laptop, lets say the rog series, that would be great. Just kinda have gpu option for laptop market ✌🏼

For real, if they made this without the internal GPU it would be the perfect price and it would make sense to connect the external one. The XG Mobile is actually very small, so I don't see a problem using it anywhere, not just a desk.

Here in my country, asus is selling the lower cpu or gpu of the g14 and g15 (and at a higher price ) I wonder if its better to get these if the tdp is limiting the performance of the higher cpu/gpu versions
