The Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025) was finally unveiled on February 25, 2025, in China after its initial appearance at CES of this year. It is not just another gaming notebook; it is a powerhouse tablet-laptop hybrid powered by the impressive AMD Strix Halo APUs. Let's see what is really exciting about this device.
Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025)
Under the Hood: AMD's Strix Halo Takes Center Stage
The heart of the ROG Flow Z13 (2025) is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor. This is not your average mobile chip. We are talking about 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and a whopping 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU cores all in one package. The integrated graphics are rumored to pack a punch that could rival dedicated GPUs in traditional gaming laptops. This is a big leap forward for portable gaming performance.
This device is not just for gaming. With 50 TOPS of NPU performance, the Flow Z13 becomes a certified Windows Copilot PC. It can be used for all sorts of AI-powered productivity tasks as well. To match this performance, it is capable of housing up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM while dynamically managing resources between system and video memory.
Keeping Cool Under Pressure: Advanced Cooling System
Packing this much power into a tablet form factor requires serious cooling. Asus has stepped up with a redesigned system featuring:
- A vapor chamber made from stainless steel and copper, now 54% larger than the previous model.
- Dual Arc Flow fans for efficient air movement.
- Ultra-thin heatsink fins to maximize heat dissipation.
All this tech works together to keep the ROG Flow Z13 running smoothly even during intense gaming sessions.
Visual Feast: The ROG Nebula Display
But as impressive as the internals are, so too is the actual display. The 13in ROG Nebula Display has:
- 2.5K resolution for crystal clear, high definition.
- 180Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth, razor-sharp motion.
- 100% DCI-P3 color coverage for vibrant and true-to-life colors.
- Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for strength.
- 16:10 aspect ratio - ideal for gaming and creative use.
- Capable of acting as a tablet with touchscreen functions.
Form Factor and Connectivity
It weighs just 1.2kg (minus the keyboard) and is as portable as can be. The detachable keyboard and a built-in kickstand give multiple use modes: tablet, normal laptop, or prop up for gaming. Connectivity is well covered with:
- Dual USB4 Type-C ports
- USB Type-A port
- HDMI 2.1
- MicroSD card reader
- 3.5mm audio jack
Then for extra graphical grunt, it will support Asus' ROG XG Mobile eGPU, covering up to an NVIDIA RTX 5090 – turning this tablet into a desktop-class gaming rig.
China Launch Imminent
Chinese gamers will not have to wait long. The Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025) will launch in China on February 25th at 19:00 CST. While Chinese pricing is still under wraps, the models in the US are expected to range from $1,999 to $2,699. Watch out for local pricing and availability details soon.
