Asus ROG Flow Z13 - 2025 (GZ302EA)

Overview

The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 offers enormous amounts of CPU performance in multi-core scenarios thanks to 16 Zen 5 cores, which rivals the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D. This is impressive for a 13-inch device and you will have to get the MacBook Pro 14 to get similar multi-core performance numbers in a similarly sized package.

Overall, using the Asus ROG Flow Z13 has been an exceptional experience; however, there are a few flaws here that prevent this gaming laptop/tablet hybrid from achieving a perfect score. While you get over 60fps in most games, even when playing with 'Ultra' graphics settings, at this price point you can pick up standard gaming laptops that provide better performance. However, there's no denying that this is a very sleek device for easy on-the-go gaming. It’s lightweight, stays cool and quiet, and is extremely portable thanks to its compact design.

You can get more frames per dollar from a gaming laptop, but Asus' impressively engineered ROG Flow Z13 tablet is a versatile, capable gaming device for the road, with extra-fast processing from its Ryzen Max chip.

The ROG Flow Z13 fills the gap between traditional gaming laptops and portable workstations, but its keyboard and price are hard to love.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is the gaming tablet evolved. If you can stomach the sticker shock, you’ll find uniquely impressive gaming performance and versatility.

A refresh to 2023's ROG Flow Z13. This 2-in-1 gaming laptop features a new AMD Ryzen AI chip, enabling the device to be a Copilot+ PC, capable of supporting AI functions. It also offers a 13.4-inch 2.5K ROG Nebula display, supporting 180Hz refresh rate.

The price-to-performance comparison with comparable gaming laptops doesn’t play out in the Flow Z13’s favor. It will never hold a candle to its peers on that spec alone. But that’s never been the point. Instead, the Flow Z13 continues to challenge the conventional idea of gaming laptops, and with the 2025 model, it's surprisingly successful.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 may be the best gaming tablet ever made, with the best integrated GPU in history. Still, neither quite measure up to the competition in form or function.

I've played the just-released action RPG Avowed, a bit of Elden Ring, some Hitman: World of Assassination, and the charming little game SteamWorld Heist 2 on the Z13, using either a controller or the detachable keyboard. I've docked the Z13 to my TV, and after some typical Windows-second-screen wrangling, I found it pretty fun to play just slightly older games at 60-plus frames per second in my living room, powered by this little glowing slab underneath.
