Compact is the new impact: Republic of Gamers
Performance: Power reimagined
Prepare to dominate the battlefield with the incredible power and flexibility of a next-gen AMD Ryzen processor and Windows 11. With a performance level typically reserved for, this next-gen CPU features unified memory design, taking AI to the next level. The Flow Z13 not only powers your gaming and creative tasks but is capable of running large language models with 70 billion parameters - an impressive feat for a 13-inch laptop - giving you access to cutting-edge AI tools and running them locally.

Angelic performance
The beating heart of the Flow Z13 is the all new Strix Halo processor. Combining 16 Zen 5 CPU cores with 40 compute units of RDNA 3.5 graphics in a single processor, this incredible piece of silicon marries a high-end processor with gaming performance that rivals a dedicated GPU. Best of all, this happens while drawing significantly less combined power, allowing the Z13 to stay cooler and last longer than its competitors. Welcome to an angelic level of performance and power efficiency.
Ultra-power efficient GPU and CPU
The Z13's GPU cores offer incredible performance at low power levels, making it ideal for use in a small-form factor device like the Flow Z13. Longer battery life, lower temperatures, and the performance you expect from an ROG gaming machine, all in one compact package.
The power efficiency gains don't stop with the GPU cores. The CPU also offers an incredible power efficiency curve, with excellent performance at low wattages. When the power is bumped up and the CPU is allowed to truly flex its muscle, the Z13 offers compute power approaching workstation-level performance, giving gamers and creators incredible flexibility, all on one ultimately portable device.
AMD HYPR-RX
AMD Fluid Motion Frames is a frame generation technology designed to increase frame rates and smoothness for game winning performance. Even better, is that AFMF is included within AMD HYPR-RX2, so gamers simply need to enable HYPR-RX to automatically enable performance-oriented features that will further level-up FPS and responsiveness.
AMD FreeSync Premium
AMD FreeSync technology puts an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames with fluid, artifact-free visuals at virtually any framerate. Behold the next breakthrough in PC and console gaming experiences.
Unified memory
The Z13's all-in-one processor allows for a unified memory system. Instead of dedicating memory to the CPU and GPU separately, the Z13's large bank of ultra-high speed LPDDR5X 8000MHz quad channel RAM can be reallocated as needed between system RAM and VRAM. Crank up the textures when gaming, or give yourself more system memory for demanding productivity applications. One chip, one low-latency memory pool, infinite flexibility.

14-layer PCB
To accommodate the Flow Z13's new chiplet processor and unified memory design, ROG completely redesigned the mainboard with a new, ultra-compact 14-layer PCB. This multi-layer approach allows us to incorporate more components - such as resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits - without expanding the dimensions of the motherboard.
Optimized pathways
To further optimize space savings, the Flow Z13 uses microvias, extra small electrical interconnects between the copper layers of a PCB. Microvias allow the PCB to be extra thick without losing signal strength or reliability.
Ultra-efficient power delivery
A 14-phase VRM allows for more precise control of power and voltage to the processor for better power efficiency and stability. Traditionally, the discrete GPU would remain powered on unless manually turned off by the user. Now, by integrating the CPU and GPU into a combined architecture, the new Flow Z13 ensures that power is consumed only as it's needed, adapting seamlessly to the task at hand.
Cool under pressure
The Flow Z13 utilizes Japanese polymer capacitors to ensure stability, along with our exclusive ASUS Cooling Power Stage technology, which optimizes energy flow for 25% more power density and a 10% reduction in power loss.
Despite a higher component density on the Flow Z13's motherboard, ROG has engineered this machine for top-tier performance while keeping it incredibly power efficient.
Reorganized interior
Taken together, the Flow Z13's motherboard is 15.5% smaller than last generation, allowing for the inclusion of two larger fans and a bigger battery, so the Z13 can keep going all day long.

Portability
All-day endurance
Portable machines are great, but a small battery can doom even the coolest devices. We've outfitted the Flow Z13 with a large 70Wh battery, which gives it up to 10+ hours of battery life. No matter where life takes you, the Flow Z13 has the endurance to go the distance with you.
Portability redefined
This 13.4-inch tablet was built to travel. Weighing in at 2.65 lb and just 0.51" thick, the Flow Z13 slips into any bag or backpack with ease. A large 70Wh battery gives you plenty of endurance even when you're away from a charger for extended periods of time, and support for touch, controller, and mouse inputs gives the Flow Z13 the flexibility to fit into your exact lifestyle.
Thermal
Cooling is a key factor in a gaming machine's performance, and the Flow Z13 has quite a few tricks up its sleeve to keep it cool under pressure. As a tablet, it benefits from its vertical orientation by having no obstructions like a desk over its intake fans, giving it access to unrestricted cool air. We upgraded the vapor chamber, both changing the material and redesigning the layout to better capture waste heat, and even enlarged the air intake dimensions. No matter what games you're playing, you'll never disturb your roommates with noise again.
Cool to the touch
The Flow Z13 also features a special airflow channel specifically designed for the display. This channel diverts a small amount of air from the fan shroud to help cool the touchscreen, keeping skin temperatures cooler even when the Z13 is running at max.
Vapor Chamber
The 2025 Flow Z13 boasts an incredible new vapor chamber, now built from lightweight stainless steel and copper. We also redesigned the shape, giving it more structural strength and better coverage of heat producing areas to better leverage a vapor chamber's efficiency. With 55% better coverage of the mainboard than the previous model's copper vapor chamber, the 2025 Flow Z13 is cooler than cool.
Breathe easy
A dust filter above the fan housing helps keep hair and debris out of the machine, keeping the Z13's cooling system reliable for years to come.
Liquid metal
The 2024 Flow Z13 features Thermal Grizzly's liquid metal thermal compound, which improves heat transfer from the CPU. Compared to traditional thermal pastes, this incredible material can reduce temperatures by up to 13 Degree C thanks to its much higher thermal conductivity.
2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans
Prepare to be blown away by a pair for 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans. Inspired by the turbine of a modern jet engine, a second set of 42 blades sit inside the main 84 blades, increasing airflow with every rotation.
0.1mm ultra-thin fins
Blade tips that mimic the natural shape of a bird's wingtips and ultra-thin 0.1mm thick blades both reduce turbulence, keeping you focused on the game, not fan noise.
Gorgeous visuals
A gaming display is your window to new worlds, so we spared no expense with the dazzling 13.4-inch touchscreen panel on the Flow Z13. This absolutely gorgeous 2.5K 180Hz display bears our ROG Nebula moniker, ensuring that it's one of the very best panels available on the market today. The 16:10 aspect ratio is paired with 500 nits of sustained brightness, a 90% screen-to-body ratio, and 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space for incredibly immersive and vivid visuals in all of your games and video content.
