Oscar for gaming screenplays
FLOW Z13 goes home with a well-deserved gold statuette, which he obtains for the versatility and variety of use scenarios he allows. You can use it as a regular tablet, to surf the internet or to watch Netflix or to play mobile games on the touch screen. But the revolutionary aspect comes when it comes to productivity, the device excels in clamshell mode, when you use the footrest and the included keyboard.
You'll get state-of-the-art gaming equipment for the latest AAA games by connecting an external monitor, mouse, and any other peripherals, such as an Xbox controller. For content creation, you can use rugged external inputs / outputs with an optional XG Mobile external drive to pair with additional monitors, an Ethernet network, or additional USB accessories. You can also take advantage of the power of XG Mobile, which comes with video cards up to GeForce RTX 3080 Ti for intense tasks such as video or 3D playback.
The multiple scenarios available are the most important feature of FLOW Z13. The "one device, infinite game" concept offers a better entertainment / creation experience than regular tablets.
Here are some examples of numerous scenarios available with FLOW Z13:
Scenario 1 - Keyboard and mouse: A USB-A port and wireless connectivity allow you to seamlessly connect your favorite mouse, and the screen cover turns into a fully functional keyboard.
Scenario 2 - Controller: If it is compatible with PC, you can use it with FLOW Z13. With multiple controllers, you can take games away with your friends, for a classic split-screen action, with up to 4 controllers at the same time on a single device.
Scenario 3 - Tactility: The 13-inch touch screen can play your favorite games compatible with mobile and touch devices. Or you can just watch it on Netflix or YouTube. Touch control will always be precise and responsive.
Scenario 4 - Multitasking: Do you want multitasking with two external monitors? Let the two USB Type-C ports do the work for you. And there's an extra USB Type-A port for devices with less bandwidth.
Scenario 5 - Creating Steroid Content: Even if the FLOW Z13 is powerful enough for most scenarios, by pairing an external XG Mobile GPU, you can increase the graphics power and connectivity for selecting ports with a single easy connection.
Scenario 6 - More possibilities (music editing): FLOW Z13 can take advantage of its desktop power and tablet portability to become a mobile dream station for DJs. Simply connect your DJ controller, such as a Pioneer DDJ-400, to this portable leviathan to become the star of the show. One device, unlimited possibilities.
Flexible design
Although it inherits elements from its predecessor ROG Mothership, the design of the FLOW Z13 is inspired by retro-futurism, incorporating the look of futuristic spaceships into the casing of the device. To create a Sci-Fi aesthetic on the back panel, ASUS used a high-density 6063 aluminum alloy. After many experiments, 39 different processes, including 10 precision CNC cuts with 2 layers of anodizing, resulted in a unique spatial model.
Spatial inspiration is clearly reflected in the rear window with RGB lighting. This CNC milled window allows you to see the tablet's motherboard directly and gives the components below more space than traditional models. The case itself is covered with spaceship-inspired models, and the built-in stand can be opened at 170 degrees, providing optimal viewing angles while remaining stable and sturdy.
The convex display window provides superb RGB accent lighting and allows chip components to be arranged on both sides of the motherboard for greater performance, despite the limited space of a 13-inch device. The inclusion of this window allowed the use of larger than normal components on the motherboard, allowing higher performance with such a small device.
Excellent portability
Z13 is as light as the proverbial feather, weighing only 1.1 kg and only 12 mm thick. This extremely lightweight case means that the Z13 is exceptionally portable, fitting even small bags and carrying cases. The included 100W PD Charging Adapter weighs only 300 g, but despite its slim size, it supports fast charging technology, which can bring the Z13 to 50% battery power in just 30 minutes.

RGB gaming keyboard and controller
The FLOW Z13 has been designed with versatility in mind. For a traditional PC gaming experience, connect your favorite wireless mouse and use it with the included keyboard. With N-key rollover, a 1.7mm keystroke and a single RGB area with Aura Sync support, the keyboard has the same set of premium features as other ROG laptops. For supported games, the FLOW Z13 also connects seamlessly with wireless controllers for a new approach to ultra-portable gaming. That we've been talking about games is a must
Dual Smart Amp speakers with Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos support provide great stereo sound for your favorite content. For voice communications, an array of 3 microphones and AI Noise Cancelation keeps communications clear for both you and your teammates, even in noisy environments.
Even in a 13-inch tablet format, the FLOW Z13 did not compromise the audio experience. The device comes with 2 Smart Amp speakers on both sides of the screen (one on each side), ensuring optimal audio volume when you enjoy games / entertainment. Dolby Atmos and Hi-res audio technology provides a clearer and more engaging audio experience.
When you need to communicate, the Hi SNR 3 array microphone next to the webcam easily captures sound, while AI-assisted noise cancellation makes your voice and that of your teammates loud and clear even in noisy environments.
We recommend this gaming tablet, which rises above the hardware level of many gaming laptops we've come across before. The compact size and excellent portability greatly expand the range of action of the gamer, who, instead of being - speaking of the American - a potato on the couch, can now play on the green grass and fresh air. FLOW Z13 is "a breath of fresh air", as it comes…
