Powerful machine with a special cooling system

2026-02-20    -Chi Shing Calvin Cheung

Very powerful machine and ideal for local LLM development, it will get hot when running LLM or playing video games. But unlike other typical laptop that the weight is on the keyboard side, this one is on the screen side. The good thing is that the keyboard is nice and cool. The cooling system is letting air flow from the back and out at the top, so make sure there are enough room from the wall, that said, do not cover the back with any cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the upgrade/purchase. The battery life is much better with the Ryzen.

If you have used the previous models this will live up to the hype.With the new Ryzen CPUs the battery life on normal tasks is several hours, no longer the hour it has been with the GPUs. This was a pleasant surprise.For years I've looked for a good 2 in 1 laptop tablet for travel and work. Many of the units don't have the power. Ports are always missing. Charging is a pain. I even tried the original EVE Tech V as a possible option (don't bother with EVE Tech/Dough, hype over performance and delivery).These provide power, charging through any USB C (albeit slow on small bricks, LoL), quality screens, a keyboard that doesn't suck (expectations tempered for those of us with mechanical keyboards), an overall quick and quality experience.The only place these did not shine was in battery life but with everything else covered that has been acceptable to me. A 10,000mAh batter plugged in USB C has often gotten me through a few hours of work moving around a construction site or job project.

Came on-time, box packaged great, device works. HOWEVER, this product is VERY EXPENSIVE and for it to come out the box with no drivers (wifi drivers) caused me to wait an additional 2 days to use the product because I needed to buy an adapter for ethernet to download all the drivers. Rgb on back and on track pad didn't work correctly until asus released patches. Would have been 5 stars but with the driver issues...it just made it a pain.

Careful

Super expensive for what it is.-There are laptops with higher performance at a lower cost.-There are tablets that are lighter with longer battery for 1/5 of the cost.You'll need an exact use case for this hybrid.For me, I didn't want to "upgrade" my ROG Ally to the Ally X. It's a whopping 10 percent performance increase. I'm now using the Z13 along with XR glasses to fully play all my PC games on the comfort of my bed. It's something that the ROG Ally *can* have problems with depending on the game. No more wondering if it's going to lag, the Z13 crushes every game in my steam library at 1080p 120hz (the resolution of my XR glasses).... It's still expensive AF.

I purchased the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 recently, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is sleek yet durable, and the performance is outstanding—whether I’m handling HRIS systems, multitasking with Microsoft Office, or enjoying gaming sessions like Hogwarts Legacy or Aliens: Fireteam Elite.Performance: Fast boot-up, smooth multitasking, and excellent graphics for both work and play.Portability: Lightweight and versatile, perfect for hybrid work setups and remote productivity.Warranty & Coverage: The Gold Premium Care package gives me peace of mind with accidental damage protection and battery service for years to come.Customization: I love being able to personalize it (I even named mine), which makes the device feel like part of my digital ecosystem.Overall, this laptop balances power, flexibility, and reliability. It’s ideal for professionals who need a dependable machine and gamers who want immersive performance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a long-term investment in both productivity and entertainment.

This is a great device... In theory. Unfortunately it has been extremely unreliable for me. The system is unstable and will freeze or randomly fail to wake from sleep. Only a hard reset (power button for 15 seconds) will bring the system back. You can imagine how awkward this is when it happens in front of a client. It happens pretty much every time the system sleeps.But then sometimes it will wake itself in the travel case, even with the keyboard closed. It will then drain the battery to zero and get extremely hot. I am running Windows 11 with the very latest BIOS and firmware updates from Asus. I have tried doing a clean install but the issues persist.This started from day 1 and has progressively gotten worse to the point that I have lost important work. I can no longer trust it with important work assignments or while giving a dissertation. The keyboard backlighting rarely works, even when toggled on and off. Its a buggy mess!I'm now outside the return window, but I regret buying it. If you do buy this I hope your experience is better, but mine has been a nightmare. Been an ROG user for 15 years, but I'm actively shopping other brands to replace this pile. A shame because the form factor and specs had the potential to be amazing.
