Customers consistently note the ROG Flow Z13's strong performance and portability, praising its ability to handle demanding tasks and games in a compact form factor. However, a common complaint centers around the device's battery life, which many users find insufficient, especially during gaming sessions. The powerful GPU is also frequently highlighted as a positive aspect.

In short, worth the wait and price. Runs games with ease mostly on max graphics settings. The keyboard is pleasant to type on even being a smaller size than normal. Touch screen is responsive. The pen(not included) is a little bit finicky but can do mild design work and write with it. Battery life is horrendous, but I have no use that requires all mobile work. The included adaptor is gold for this computer. Do not lose it. There are no available replacements for the power adaptor, and without it you cant use Turbo mode. Although you can use other 100+w adaptors on Performance mode. 16gb of RAM is plenty. 8GB of GDDR RAM is plenty too. I run AutoDesk and play games occasionally. Screen is bright and clear. A bit of a dust magnet. Overall, I have no regrets on my purchase. Very worthy machine. Microsoft Surface doesnt even compare, especially when their highest offering doesnt get close to the parts in this machine and is still extra price on top. Dollar per performance this tablet is unbeatable.

If you’re a fan of the Microsoft surface tablets but need a power house then this is the tablet for you. I loved my surface pro 3 used it for years until I sold it to a friend of mine which he still uses. When I first saw this I instantly wanted it. I don’t know how the durability of it will be in the long run since I like to keep my devices for years so only time will tell with this device. So far it has been great for running any game on pretty much max graphics with its i9 and 4060 graphics card. Although they’rethe laptop variant, they still kick but. The keyboard is great feels like the surface keyboard so it is a little bendy, I prefer my mechanical keyboard with it. And for sound it gets a bit noisy but not too bad, and battery was okay what you expect from a laptop especially when pushing it to the limits. If you have the cash or get it on sale with a gift card like I did then go for it!

The i9 in here is super fast, some of the highest benchmarks compared to other laptops. The 4060 gpu is 65w, but benchmarks similarly to some 4070’s in thin-and-light laptops. In typical ASUS fashion, hardware performs as good as it looks, and Armory Crate makes perf profile swapping super easy. I also installed G-helper for undervolting and overclocking. I also used an Elago magnetic stand + Nillkin SnapHold Plus ring magnet to elevate the Z13 into a mini iMac desktop. (You can find these on Amazon). And I use a “Microsoft Designer” Bluetooth keyboard to complete this desktop setup.
