ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) review: When a traditional gaming laptop just won't do

While the idea of a PC gaming tablet might seem silly, with the ROG Flow Z13, ASUS has created a funky and rather powerful alternative to your standard laptop.

But with the second-gen ROG Flow Z13, ASUS is turning that line of thought on its head with a surprisingly powerful system that can do more than just game — as long as you don't mind paying a premium for some niche engineering. Instead of relying on discrete graphics, ASUS opted for AMD's Ryzen AI Max 390 or Max+ 395 APUs, which feature up to 32 cores and a whopping 128GB of unified RAM. Unless you're playing a brand new AAA title that requires RT support (of which there are a growing number), the Z13 is a shockingly good portable gaming companion for frequent travelers.
