Asus ROG Flow Z13, Core i7 12700H, 16GB, 512GB SSD

Even though it comes with a Core™ i7 CPU and an RTX™ 3050 Ti GPU, the Z13 is really small. Surprisingly, this small size actually gives it more space for cooling compared to regular gaming laptops. The tablet-like design doesn’t need a hinge, which lets us put in larger fans and a bigger vapor chamber than you’d expect for a Z13 of this size.

Plus, since the parts that make heat in the Z13 are elevated when it’s on your desk, they get more fresh air than the components in normal laptops. With the added 0db technology, the Z13 doesn’t make any noise when you’re doing simple tasks, and it stays super quiet even when you’re pushing it hard.

Product Features

A portal to power

A CNC-milled window at the rear of the chassis allows a look straight into the mainboard of the machine and also gives the components beneath more freedom and height than traditional designs. This bold break provides gorgeous RGB accent lighting, while also allowing chip components to be placed on both sides of the mainboard due to the larger volume of space available. Larger than normal components paired with the dual-sided motherboard allow for much more performance than standard 13” machines.

Stand tall and breathe deep

Despite having up to a Core™ i7 CPU and up to an RTX™ 3050 Ti GPU, the Z13’s ultra-compact form factor allows it to have more cooling space than traditional gaming laptops. Its tablet form factor does not require a hinge, allowing us to use much larger fans and a wider vapor chamber than the Z13’s size would suggest. And because the Z13’s heat-generating components stand high above the desk when in operation, they receive more fresh air than standard laptops. Combined with 0db technology, this means that the Z13 is completely silent during light computing, and remains incredibly quiet even under full load.

Expand Your View

The Flow Z13’s versatility extends to a choice of displays that tailor the experience for serious gaming or creativity. Go Full HD with 120Hz for super-smooth gaming. Both edge-to-edge displays boast a taller 16:10 aspect ratio with more space for toolbars and tabs. Touch and stylus support balance the visual experience with more intuitive input for entertainment and artistry.

Endless versatility

The Flow Z13 was designed with versatility in mind. For a traditional PC gaming experience, connect your favorite wireless mouse with our integrated keyboard. With N-key rollover, a 1.7mm travel distance, and single-zone RGB with Aura Sync support, the keyboard has the same premium feature set as our other ROG laptops. For supported games, the Z13 also connects seamlessly with wireless controllers for a whole new take on ultra-portable gaming. Pair up to four controllers to take the best couch co-op games with you wherever you go. No matter how you play, the Flow Z13 can adapt to your style.

Crystal clear audio

Dual Smart Amp speakers with Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos support provide excellent stereo sound for your favorite content. For voice communications, a High SNR 3-mic array and AI Noise cancellation keep comms clear for both you and your teammates, even in noisy environments.

Robust connectivity

Forget dongles: Unlike some other thin and light tablets, the Flow Z13 is ripe with connectivity. With one USB Type-A™ port and a dedicated USB Type-C™ with Thunderbolt™ 4 support, the machine has excellent options even for high-speed external devices. When connected to the XG Mobile, additional ports like DisplayPort™, HDMI, and ethernet are accessible. A microSD card slot is subtly hidden under the kickstand of the machine for additional game and app storage.
