Is the ROG Flow Z13 good for gaming?

It handles esports and older titles well, but integrated graphics struggle with demanding games at high settings. An Asus XG Mobile dock adds a discrete GPU for serious play.

Does it come with a keyboard?

It ships with a detachable keyboard cover that also acts as a stand. Check the bundle, since some configurations are sold as tablet only.

How is the battery life?

Short. Expect a few hours of mixed use and less when gaming or running the screen at a high refresh rate. Carry the charger for long days.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

Memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded. The SSD is replaceable, so storage can be expanded after purchase.

Does it work with the Asus XG Mobile external GPU?

Yes, it has the proprietary connector for Asus XG Mobile docks, which add a discrete GPU and extra ports at home.

Is it good for drawing and note-taking?

The touchscreen and tablet mode suit stylus work and notes, though the screen is smaller than most creator laptops.

Our take on the Asus ROG Flow Z13 Notebook

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a 13-inch gaming tablet that runs full Windows on Intel Core H-series processors, with a detachable keyboard cover and a built-in kickstand. It is the rare gaming device that works as a tablet, a laptop and, with an external GPU dock, a desktop. It suits players and creators who want console-like portability and a touchscreen, and who accept the trade-offs of a thin chassis: fan noise under load, middling battery life and a high price for the graphics you get. Compared with clamshell gaming laptops, it is more flexible but less powerful per dollar and harder to upgrade.
