Republic of Gamers (ROG) is proud to announce the Flow Z13, the world’s most powerful tablet. The Z13 combines the best aspects of tablet mobility with PC versatility to create an all-new gaming experience.

A tablet form factor allows the Z13 to stay incredibly light and slim at just 1.1kg and 12mm thick, while packing the gaming power of much larger devices. Built to accommodate all styles of play, mouse, gamepad and touch are all flawless on the Z13. When gamers need a little extra horsepower, a complete XG Mobile ecosystem provides the benefit of a more powerful GPU and I/O hub without sacrificing any of the portability that makes the Flow Z13 special.

All-new form factor

Boasting up to an 12th gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900H processor and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, this machine is ready to tackle all the latest games and most demanding applications. Further supplementing this is a combination of up to 16GB of insanely high speed 5200MHz LPDDR5 memory and up to a 1TB PCIe SSD, allowing gamers to multitask and take more of their game library on the go. The Flow Z13 has the performance specifications of much larger devices.

As the world’s fastest gaming tablet, the Z13 has some unique design benefits over typical laptops. Inspired by the ROG Mothership, the Flow Z13 houses its components behind the screen. This unconventional layout for a gaming device allows the Z13 to stand high above a desk or table when in use, granting much better access to fresh air than traditional gaming laptops. In addition, the lack of a hinge mechanism allows for a wider vapour chamber and larger fans thanks to the extra space inside the chassis, all while keeping the machine just 12mm thick.

A vapour chamber allows much more surface area for heat transfer compared to standard heatpipe cooling designs, plus contact with multiple heat sources, like the CPU, GPU and VRM simultaneously. This robust cooling solution allows the Flow Z13 to pack some truly incredible hardware for its size. When paired with liquid metal thermal compound, the Flow Z13 remains supremely quiet even under full load, with acoustics never exceeding 40dB. In lighter workloads, the machine can operate with the fans at zero RPM for truly silent computing.

Multiple ways to play

No matter how gamers prefer to interact with a PC, the Flow Z13 supports it. When using the machine with standard keyboard and mouse controls, the screen cover doubles as a fully functional keyboard with 1.7mm of travel. Multiple USB ports allow for quick access to precision and accuracy for the games and apps that demand it. Due to its unique form factor, the Z13 also excels when used to play titles that support gamepads. Expect an excellent wireless connection, and pair up multiple controllers to take on some friends with classic split screen action.

As a gaming tablet, the Z13 supports mobile and touch compatible games as well as traditional PC games. Responsive touch controls live inside the 13” display, allowing gamers to enjoy the best of mobile gaming on the go. For moments when one screen is not enough, dual USB Type-C™ ports both support display output to seamlessly add external monitors. And for extra gaming or content creation horsepower, an XG Mobile external GPU is just one connector away. One device, infinite possibilities.

XG mobile ecosystem

While the CPU and dedicated graphics are quite powerful on their own, some workloads demand more. The XG Mobile family was introduced in 2021 as companion hardware for the ROG Flow series, offering top-tier graphics performance and additional I/O ports when needed. With the addition of an AMD Radeon™ RX 6850M XT GPU XG Mobile for 2022, the family is now complete and offers incredibly powerful graphics card options from both AMD and NVIDIA.

With up to a GeForce RTX™ 3080 or Radeon™ RX 6850M XT, dedicated DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, multiple USB ports and an ethernet port, XG Mobile brings flagship desktop performance in a mobile form factor. For high refresh rate gaming, streaming or content creation, the Flow Z13 paired with an XG Mobile is the ultimate portable battlestation.

AVAILABILITY & PRICING

ROG Flow Z13 will be available now in Australia, available through select channel and retail partners. The starting price of this device is $2,499 AUD.
