TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION
Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology works with any input device and also with output audio, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. It also runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.

Spacious Storage
With up to 512GB of PCIe storage, you can take all your favorite games with you. Pad out your creative portfolio and edit photos, videos, and other massive multimedia files on the go. Keep your favorite entertainment and projects close at hand, and load them at warp speed whenever the mood strikes.
Touch Greatness
Flip through tabs, scroll down pages, and doodle all your latest ideas on ROG’s top-tier touchscreen. Covered with Corning Gorilla Glass, it’s highly scratch-resistant against everyday use, so you can tap, swipe, and scribble worry-free. Bundle the Flow X13 with the ASUS Pen for smooth stylus action whether you’re sketching, writing, or just jotting down your next great idea.
Reveal Your True Colors
See in true color with a PANTONE® Validated display. Each IPS-level panel is factory calibrated to guarantee that every color you see is accurate to the globally recognized Pantone palette. Superior color accuracy allows artists, designers, and content creators to add to their portfolios and enjoy more immersive gaming all on the same machine.
Smooth as Glass
Experience gameplay that’s smoother and more immersive than ever. With Adaptive-Sync, the display’s refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing that can break your focus in-game and take you out of the moment.
High Surface Area Heatsinks
Fitting a powerful discrete GPU in a 13” ultraslim chassis required rethinking our usual heatsink arrangement. With a reoriented layout and a redesigned fan module, we managed to fit 3 large heatsinks to quickly dissipate thermal energy and keep performance smooth and consistent. Altogether, they offer 44,230mm2 of total surface area for faster cooling.
Scenario Profiles
Scenario Profiles automatically change operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for different games and apps. Turbo mode ramps up the fans and frequency to sustain maximum speed, Performance mode balances cooling and clocks to lower acoustics for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment. Switch modes seamlessly or on demand with a keyboard shortcut.
Liquid metal thermal compound
Liquid metal compound lowers CPU temperatures by up to 10°C* compared to standard thermal paste. The right amount must be carefully applied for the best results, so we commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with precision, designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound, and added a special step to protect surface-mounted components on the processor package.
*Unless otherwise stated, figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.
Slimmer heatpipes
Flatter heatpipes help minimize height in the ultra-slim form factor, and offer more surface area to pull heat away from core components. They snake over the CPU and GPU to reduce temperatures and help improve long-term stability and reliability.
Self-cleaning Cooling 2.0
Self-cleaning cooling helps keep critical components free of debris to maintain optimal thermal dissipation. Our upgraded design features shorter anti-dust tunnels that leave enough room for full-sized fans while channeling dust away from heatsinks, heatpipes, and other cooling components to ensure long-term stability and reliability.
Arc Flow Fans
Two Arc Flow fans increase airflow by up to 13% without additional noise. The carefully shaped blades taper toward the base to move more air, and they’re capped with special tips that follow an aerodynamic wave pattern to reduce turbulence and noise. Each fan has 84 blades crafted from a liquid-crystal polymer that’s strong enough to maintain its shape at high RPMs, even in super thin sizes. With 0dB Technology, the fans switch off completely when CPU and GPU temperatures are low in the Silent operating mode. This makes cooling truly silent under light workloads.
