Multinational tech manufacturer ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) just launched a versatile, powerful new toy for gamers on the go. The brand’s innovative new gaming tablet, the ROG Flow Z13, is now available for pre-order. The release comes at a perfect time; handheld gaming devices continue to capture busy gamers’ attention — and cash — worldwide. From the Nintendo Switch and its predecessor to ASUS ROG’s own ROG Ally, portable playability tops many gamers’ “must-have” lists.
The 13-inch gaming tablet looks like the Microsoft Surface Pro with its size and detachable keyboard but handles intense gameplay. The device retails at just over $2,000 (woof), but its new features, prioritizing performance, power, and compatibility, make it one to watch.
Tech Specs
At first glance, my eyes dart directly to the display. A crystal-clear 13-inch touchscreen comprises 90% of the device’s body. Along with its 2.5K resolution and 500 nits of peak brightness, the device’s ROG Nebula Display uses durable and reliable Gorilla Glass to withstand accidental falls. Don’t worry about overheating — sizeable intake vents and new fans mean 70% more airflow for quiet and efficient cooling.
Many standard gaming laptops and tablets contain a CPU and GPU, but both have their own exclusive RAM pools. However, the Flow Z13 has one large pool of memory that users can allocate based on their intended usage. If going toe-to-toe with some in-game baddies, enhance texture settings to boost realism and make your gameplay even more immersive. If you’re preparing a work presentation, modifying memory utilization can boost device efficiency and, ultimately, your productivity.
Inside the snazzy stainless steel body is a 70Wh battery and AMD’s newest AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 Processor with Radeon™ 8060S Graphics. This high-performance processor means that, despite the device’s pocket-friendly size, it can handle intense, high-octane gaming like a pro. The Z13’s processor also boasts 50 TOPS of NPU performance and built-in AI features and tools.
User-Friendly Features
We’ve all got enough cords and cables to manage as it is. Thankfully, the ROG Flow Z13’s dual USB-C and dedicated HDMI port means gamers can ditch unnecessary accessories. Alongside the device’s sizeable touchpad and keycaps is a convenient Command Center button that allows users to access system functions faster than ever — no need to sift through a never-ending Settings menu to get where you need to go.
Its powerful fans do more than cool off the inside; the Flow Z13 pushes air through a channel behind the touchscreen to cool hands, saving users from sweaty palms during a high-stress boss battle. Added filters also keep dust and debris out of the machine, extending its lifespan.
All in all, the device appears to be best-suited for the Jack of All Trades: part-time gamer, part-time planner, full-time tech lover. Pre-order the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 today.
