Over the years, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 has been my own personal diamond in the rough — never quite the missing link between a full-blown gaming laptop and a Steam Deck, but definitely that future dream I see. Fast forward to 2025, and that dream has been achieved, albeit with a couple of catches.
You’re going to see reviews point to these catches, and I won’t shy away from them either. Chief among them is that while the AMD Ryzen AI MAX 390 is a breakthrough chip for integrated graphics with RTX 4060 levels of performance, ray tracing is still a weakness for Team Red.
