Almost all gaming laptops have gone up in price over the past year. Curiously, the surprisingly fast Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming laptop/tablet combo has not. It’s actually gotten quite a bit cheaper recently. Best Buy has the lowest price on the configuration that includes the AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 “Strix Halo” chipset, a whopping 64GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Originally $2,999.99, it’s down to $2,099.99. Amazon has a version with half the RAM selling for $100 less, but the 64GB model is, obviously, a far better deal.
The Flow Z13 isn’t for those who want 100-plus frames per second in every game running at the 13.4-inch tablet’s 1600p native resolution. Though, that’s not to say it doesn’t have chops. In Antonio’s review, he saw an average of 50 to 60 frames per second in even graphically-intensive games with low to medium settings. It can run Elden Ring’s high settings at around 50 frames per second at native resolution. Games that support FSR 3 and frame generation can go even higher. In a world where the Steam Deck OLED is a few hundred shy of $1,000, the portable (yet more powerful), stand-equipped Flow Z13 is a compelling alternative.
The novelty of the first Flow Z13 in 2022 was that it looked like a Surface tablet but could actually play games. The 2025 model looped into this deal actually delivers the gaming performance we were hoping for with the debut. Beyond gaming, its “Strix Halo” processor delivers incredible performance and battery life regardless of the task. While it can’t stack up to bulkier, pricier 16-inch gaming laptops like the Razer Blade 16 or Asus’ own Zephyrus G16 in GPU-focused tasks, it comes shockingly close considering its thin, take-anywhere form factor.
