ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) Review: Portable PC

He – she Feel Even thinner when using the device itself. When all you have under the palm of your hand is the fine keyboard cover, and you do not see how intensity of the back of the device, it is a type of magic, especially during games.

This leads me to another great feature of this type of design – thermal. This thing did not exceed 70 degrees Celsius internally, even as the stress test in the performance mode. And it remained quiet to some extent. It is especially noticeable when you do not play. Flow Z13 does a great job in keeping calm and cold when it should be said, it cannot be said to many of the gameplay computers. This makes it a better hybrid work device.

Excellent thermals have the vertical direction to thank them, as they absorb tons of air through the ventilation holes on the back of the tablet, without an obstacle by an office like the bottom of the laptops. Meanwhile, the exhaust holes are located directly across the top of the tablet, away from the keyboard and your hands as possible physically. This is another major change on games for games, which are often emitted from the hot air at the hands of the mouse.

A difficult sale process?

I don’t like the limited configurations of the Z13 flow. ASUS sells expensive configurations only with at least 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, starting at more than $ 2000. It is a shame that there is no first low -class option for the start price. Not everyone needs a lot of memory and storage. If the starting price is closer to $ 1500, you have seen that it attracts a larger audience. This is especially true because Flow Z13 is not necessarily a first performance device.

I hope the speakers and the web camera will be more impressive. They accomplish the task and the best you find in many laptops for games, but if they can match Professional surfaceThey will have a higher -stronger hand even the most gameplay for games. And I will be limited without mentioning its recent launch Nvidia RTX 50-Series Capus GPUS. This will be a little before the RTX 5050 and 5060 lower degree laptops arrive, but when you do it, they may compare the Z13 flow less favorable.

Comparing the performance price with laptops for similar games is not run for Flow Z13. It will never carry a candle for its peers on these specifications alone. But this was never the point. Instead, the Flow Z13 continues to challenge the traditional idea of ​​gaming laptops, and with the 2025 model, it was amazingly successful.
