ASUS announced its ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet earlier this year, packing AMD's new flagship Ryzen AI Max+ 395 "Strix Halo" APU, up to 128GB of RAM, and a 13-inch 2.5K 180Hz display, and more. Check it out:
It's like a Microsoft Surface but on serious steroids -- firstly, from the new Strix Halo APU that packs 16 cores and 32 threads of Zen 5 processing power, a heavily beefed-up 40-core RDNA 3.5-based GPU, up to 128GB of RAM, and that gorgeous ASUS ROG aesthetic the company is known for.
I've been eyeing it off for many months now, but today in the halls of Nangang here in Taipei for Computex 2025 was my first chance to go hands-on with it, and it's an incredible "gaming tablet" to say the least. The big winner here is the Strix Halo APU, which increases the CPU core count, but seriously boosts the GPU core count over the Strix Point APU that is inside of laptops and Mini-PCs today.
There's enough power to do some on-the-road gaming, if you didn't want to lug around a laptop, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is an excellent choice for people who want all that power, without a bigger gaming laptop.
The new ASUS ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet features a 13-inch 2.5K 180Hz touchscreen Nebula Display with 500 nits of peak brightness and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a new stainless steel and copper vapor chamber, larger intake vents, and 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans which provide 70% more airflow for quiet, and efficient cooling.
ASUS has included a larger 70Wh battery inside of the ROG Flow Z13, as well as a larger touchpad and keycaps, a convenient Command Center button for quick access to vital system functions, dual USB-C ports (both support USB4 and power delivery), a dedicated HDMI 2.1 port for up to 4K 120Hz output, and more
