The ROG Flow Z13 has landed and I have this AMD Strix Halo-powered gaming tablet in the labs for testing. Here's a sneak peek: this AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 390 model is roughly equivalent in games to an RTX 4060 laptop running up against a power limit. Is that monumental? Probably not, but I still have testing to do. Though give me this momentary respite from the review process to talk about something other than AMD's new APU: the Z13's form factor.
The Flow Z13 comes beautifully packaged, and this likely lent to my positive first impression of the oddity within. It feels like a slim gaming laptop—the underside has window to peer in on the vast array of capacitors within. Beneath the window, a small tab sits on a hinged stand, the first sign of this not being your average gaming laptop. The other is the fact the keyboard is optional.
