Asus rog flow z13 contestCould Asus have created the ultimate combination gaming and productivity laptop in the Asus ROG Flow Z13? Think about all of the things you want your next new laptop to do and this laptop is likely more than capable. I’ll discuss some of the features that stand out to me, and some of the things that I would expect a new laptop, especially a gaming laptop, to be able to do. Then I’ll give you a chance to offer your thoughts for a chance to win the Asus ROG Flow.

What is the best feature of the Asus ROG Flow laptop

I see a lot of laptops as Editor of the Best Buy blog but this one is uniquely impressive. I’ll go through a few features that stood out for me but you should also read the reviews we posted on the blog: both our English reviewer Marcus and our French reviewer François were impressed with the design and the performance of this laptop. Here are some of the things that impressed me most.

Design: I’m starting with design because I know that if I had this laptop when I was in school, everyone who saw me working would stop and ask me about it. The way the airflow vents are integrated into the design, the innovative RGB lit window showing the motherboard at the back of the machine, combined with programmable, responsive RGB lighting on the keyboard show an attention to detail that you won’t find in 99% of laptops on the market (I mean all types!). Then there is the fact that the keyboard detaches creating a touchscreen tablet for ultimate portability.

Performance: Gaming laptops are typically equipped with a powerful Intel processor and the ROG Flow is no exception. I’m amazed at how much tech they packed into this 13.4″ laptop. The processor is the newest 12th Generation i9, with a total of 14 cores; it’s considered to be one of the fastest mobile CPUs available today. You get an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card too. For the past year (and longer) the demand for 30 series RTX cards has been a phenomenon (the article we did about those cards is still one of the most read each month). Gamers know the value of a blistering fast processor, great graphics card, combined with lots of storage and memory. This very thin machine is able to drive the highest level of games you can provide.

What are you looking for in a new laptop

I know what I want in a laptop … do you? My laptop needs are likely different than most students. First of all, I am not a gamer. Would I still want this laptop? Yes and I’ll give you three reasons why.

  1. It will allow me to work quickly! I use a laptop mostly for the work I do for Best Buy. Besides writing and editing text, relatively easy tasks for any computer, I also edit images and videos a lot! These tasks can make most computers struggle. Not the Asus ROG Flow. Its Intel i9 processor and 16GB of DDR5 RAM would be great for processing large 4k video files!
  2. It will allow me to multitask seamlessly. The multicore design of this 12th generation processor enables HyperThreading of up to 20 supported threads so I can be editing videos, playing music, participating in a video meeting, and surfing the internet. As I said earlier, I am not gaming on my dream machine, but if you are, it will do all of the things I just said and keep you in the game at that same time!
  3. It will keep me connected. That may seem like a no-brainer but hear me out. This laptop has many of the top technologies for connecting to the internet, to devices, and to my team. First there’s integrated Wi-Fi6E for a dedicated connection whenever this newest bandwidth is available (and in my home it will be available so nothing interrupts my internet signal). It has the latest Bluetooth 5.2 so my earbuds and gaming mouse have the best connection too. Front and back facing webcams are an amazing feature for flexibility when using it in tablet mode and for meetings at home or on the road.

There you have it, my three reasons for loving this laptop. Now it’s your turn. Are you looking to buy a new laptop? Best Buy has hundreds of laptops to choose from.

  7. I do like the design and the RGB lighting on the keyboard. I also like the integrated Wi-Fi6E for a dedicated connection as it is so annoying not to get a regular connection to internet.

  12. I love that it has a 13.4″ screen and a total weight of 2.6 lbs making it lightweight and extremely portable. I also love that it has a removable keyboard that when is use never slips or comes off the screen.

  13. Like the 16GB of RAM which isn’t going to page out and I like small laptops and 13″ is compact without being too small.

  14. One thing I really like about the Asus ROG Flow laptop is the 1TB M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe 4.0 solid state drive (SSD). This would offer better speed than my current laptop. Second thing would be the four-cell 4S1P rechargeable li-ion battery of 56Wh capacity. That is going to also be better than the current span of time I can run on the battery compared to my current laptop.

  16. Here are the 2 things i love about this laptop;

    1 – A dedicated graphics card in a small form factor laptop 3050 – it’s pretty rare ( i remember having an old Acer back in the day with a GT540 card and i used to play BF2 at lan parties on it. Everyone was jealous….. would love to have this for the small portable gaming ability)
    2 – And an i9 processor, the fastest chip I’ve tried was an i7, so lets see these i9s 🙂

    Thanks for the opportunity…….

  18. I really like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card in this laptop for portable gaming and VR.

  20. I love that it has a detachable keyboard that creates a touchscreen table and that it is one of the fastest mobile CPUs available.

  21. The ability to multitask with so many different programs is great. Also the touch screen is nice to have when working with certain apps.

  23. I like the vapor chamber for improve cooling performance and the adaptive sync display for a smoother gaming experience.

  46. Two things I really like about the Asus ROG Flow laptop are the powerful Intel processor and that the keyboard detaches creating a touchscreen tablet!

  48. The 2-in-1 nature of the device is useful to me. Also the 12th CPU in it should provide enough performance for any use case.
