Tablet Gaming Has Never Been This Powerful.

Retro-futurism design

With a design inspired by the 20th-century Space Race, the Flow Z13 has numerous nods to retro-futurism. The chassis is covered with spacecraft-inspired machining, carved right into the high density aluminum alloy itself. After experimentation with 39 different processes, including 10 precision CNC cuts and two anodizing coats, alloy 6063 has a unique finish that evokes the golden age of space. The premium anti-fingerprint coating repels and reduces the appearance of fingerprints, and makes cleaning the surface a breeze.

Take the Z13 wherever you need to go. The built-in kickstand can be opened up to 170 degrees, ensuring optimal viewing angles for your favourite games or movies, no matter where you use the Z13.

A portal to power

A CNC-milled window at the rear of the chassis allows a look straight into the mainboard of the machine, and also gives the components beneath more freedom and height than traditional designs. This bold break provides gorgeous RGB accent lighting, while also allowing chip components to be placed on both sides of the mainboard due to the larger volume of space available. Larger than normal components paired with the dual sided motherboard allow for much more performance than standard 13” machines.

For standard mouse and keyboard inputs, the Z13 is ready to roll. A USB-A port and wireless connectivity allows you to seamlessly hook up your favourite mouse, and the screen cover doubles as a fully functional keyboard. Precision and accuracy for the games that demand it.

Feel the rumble

The Z13 was designed with robust gamepad support. If it’s PC compatible, you can use it with the Z13. With multiple controllers, you can take your games on the go with friends for some classic split screen action.

Touch and go

With a 13 inch touchscreen display, all of your favourite mobile and touch compatible games are supported. Enjoy accurate, responsive touch control on this incredibly powerful tablet.

Seamless multitasking

The Flow Z13’s connectivity makes it incredibly versatile. Feeling like multitasking with two external monitors? Let the two USB Type-C ports do the work for you. You even have a USB Type-A port for lower bandwidth devices.

One plug power-up

While the Z13 is powerful enough for most scenarios, it still has room to flex some extra muscle. By pairing an XG Mobile external GPU, you can boost the graphics power and port selection with one simple connection.

Limitless possibilities

With this much power and portability, the Flow Z13 is a machine that can thrive in any scenario. For example, it can leverage its desktop-level power and tablet-level portability to become a mobile DJ’s dream station. Simply connect a DJ controller like the Pioneer DDJ-400 to this lightweight leviathan to become the star of the show. One device, limitless possibilities.

Class-defying power

Enjoy console gaming power on the go. With up to a 14-core Intel® Core™ i9-12900H CPU and up to a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU in this ultraportable tablet form factor, you can pair the best aspects of PC gaming with the freedom to go anywhere. Blisteringly fast 5200MHz LPDDR5 memory and up to 1TB of PCIe® SSD storage make the Flow Z13 the premiere tablet gaming machine for Windows 11 Pro.

001

Crank performance to 11Modern gaming laptops use powerful, dedicated graphics chips for high performance—but most route those frames through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we're bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 9%.

002

GeForce GraphicsDue to their compact form factor, traditional tablets power their displays via the integrated graphics on the CPU. Despite the size limitations, ROG has not only added a discrete GPU to the Flow Z13, but it supports up to a GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti. The Z13 is the ultimate portable gaming device.

004

More Immersive ExperiencesRay Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators – and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.

003

Amp Up Your PlayFor extra gaming horsepower and I/O expansion, the Flow Z13 is compatible with the XG Mobile family of external GPUs. Connect it to the 2021 XG Mobile with an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Laptop GPU, or this year’s model with an AMD Radeon™ RX 6850M XT GPU. With a 330W integrated power adapter, additional USB ports, DisplayPort, HDMI, and ethernet, the XG Mobile is ready for anything.

Cooling

Stand tall and breathe deep

Despite having up to a Core™ i9 CPU and up to an RTX™ 3050 Ti GPU, the Z13’s ultra-compact form factor allows it to have more cooling space than traditional gaming laptops. Its tablet form factor does not require a hinge, allowing us to use much larger fans and a wider vapor chamber than the Z13's size would suggest. And because the Z13's heat-generating components stand high above the desk when in operation, they receive more fresh air than standard laptops. Combined with 0db technology, this means that the Z13 is completely silent during light computing, and remains incredibly quiet even under full load.

Keep your CPU cool with Liquid MetalCooling is one of the greatest challenges facing gaming laptops, and ROG is constantly pushing the envelope. This drive led to liquid metals, which are extremely effective at transferring thermal energy between surfaces like a processor die and heatsink. Over a year of testing with various processors, ROG engineers observed reductions in temperatures up to 10 degrees Celsius with liquid metal, depending on the CPU. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and prevent fans from ramping up and making noise.

002

Vapor chamber coolingThe Z13 also comes with a vapor chamber, which has significantly more surface area than a standard heatpipe design. This also allows the cooling to make contact with multiple heat sources like the CPU, GPU, and VRM, so the Flow Z13 can maintain excellent thermals despite its small chassis.

*Not all models have a vapor chamber, please check with your local ASUS representative for more information.

003

Whisper-quiet fansUpdated Arc Flow Fans™ feature curved blades specially shaped to maximise airflow with minimal noise. Our variable thickness design can get as thin as 0.1mm at the base of the fans before expanding toward the tip. This reduces turbulence as the fan blades accelerate air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience.

004

0dB Ambient CoolingEnjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.

005

0.15mm ultra thin fins for the winThermal energy is dissipated by two heatsinks, each lined with ultrathin copper fins as slim as 0.15mm. These fins are half the size of typical solutions, whose higher density allows for more effective heat dissipation and lower air resistance. There are up to 95 heatsink fins totaling 33,104mm² of surface area.

006

Scenario Profiles give you the right cooling at the right timeOur Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes are just the beginning. Scenario Profiles allow your system to automatically switch between presets based on the application you're running, alongside other vital system settings. Switch between lighting configurations automatically, disable the Windows key and touchpad during games, and automate to your heart's content. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand.
