I’m going into university doing Computer Science (specifically Software Engineering, but I might switch to Computer Science with AI or Cyber Security).
I do a bit of game dev on the side on Roblox Studio and plan to learn video editing on the side. In terms of gaming, I do light gaming here and there, but I would like to run heavier games such as Elden Ring, Wukong or modded Minecraft.
I currently have the 2022 Z13 and it’s been good until a few months ago. The battery had to be removed and the temps are constantly high, to the point where I can’t even run unmodded Minecraft well. I’ve had it for around 2 years.
The portability and touchscreen factor were a big draw for me, as it made taking notes so much easier or practicing exams using the pen.
I’m looking at the 16GB version of the G14 and the 32GB version of the Z13 as they’re the cheapest models right now. I need:
Decent battery life
Decent performance for games
Something that will last at least a year of consistent use
If you have any other alternatives, please share them as that would be helpful.
Laptop only has 3 ports: thunderbolt USB-C, USB-A, and aux. If I buy a high-quality HDMI->usb-c cable, will it charge my laptop ***and*** cast to an external monitor?
Would rather not get a splitter as that lowers refresh rate to a max of 60Hz. Thank you!
I do use 90C limit, because on default it sometimes get's over 95C and it will get off on random spike to 100C Probably because of instability from ram around. Because cpu is 105C max.
Let me know what you have
And should i be worried?
Hi all! Just wanted to share my happiness and story: I've been eyeing this awesome device for a year now, but the asking price of $ 61,199 MXN ($ 3,586.10 USD) for the 395+, 32GB version was steep.
After many months, and just wandering in old bookmarks, I found that a retailer had it with 50% discount, but with no available stock. I'm not sure exactly how, perhaps I left the tab open, but some days later I found that it had 60% off, and yet, it still showed no stock. This intrigued me, so I asked a good friend of mine that works in one of these retailers to chip in the tech department, sure enough, they told her that there was only 1 available at another mall in our same city, but that it was likely damaged, as it was shown in their system as "stored".
A week went by, and as luck would have it, last Thursday I had to travel south for a work activity. I came off earlier than usual, and on the way home, I could take a small detour to visit the mall that showed it as "stored", I went for it, and oh boy, what a pleasant surprise!
As soon as I asked the vendor for it, he told me that they only had one, but they could not exhibit it because the box was already open (it's not common in Mexico for retailers to sell "Open Box", "Fair", or any condition other than "New" in electronics) he said that one customer got cold-feet after checking it, and decided not to buy it, but it was brand new. I asked to take a look, and sure enough, it was still inside its cellophan, absolutely pristine condition, the guy was definitely telling the truth. Nevertheless, I asked them to power it up, and I ran the CMD command that reports on battery condition, Cycle Count 0.
I happily paid the 60% discounted price ($24,479.60 MXN - $1,434.51 USD) with Taxes included for a brand new device !!!
Regards!
Okay, who out there is running a USB-C mini monitor to sit off to the side of this silly little Z13? I’m looking for something to slide discord, performance monitors, or other stuff over to while I’m using the main screen for gaming. I’ve been considering something in the 7 to 9 inch range because a full size or even 13 to 14 inch screen is too much to set in front of me while I’m on the couch. Looking at options are leading me all over the internet, so I’m looking to see if anyone else here has tried anything with success or failure.
Hi, I just bought the Z13 with a 395 and tried the turbo mode. However, the CPU temperatures are hitting 92-95°C but it doesn’t throttle. On performance remains cool, staying under 85°C while playing Crimson Desert. Thanks.
Ich habe das Gerät bei Kleinanzeigen gekauft. Ich habe beim Auspacken einen Riss am Rahmen oberhalb des Displays entdeckt. Jetzt überlege ich es über den Käuferschutz zurück zu senden. Oder ist das Gerät an der Stelle nur empfindlich und es macht keine Probleme? Das Display sieht gut aus ohne Bildfehler. Verpackt war das Gerät jedoch ungenügend und ohne Stoßschutz.
Würdet ihr es behalten?
So I travel a lot - once a week. A lot of it is international travel as well. I have an Asus G18 4080 laptop that is great - but I need to reduce my profile. The games I play are the likes of Elden Ring, PUBG, Madden, and some EA titles. Will the Z13 Flow play these games 60fps? I haven’t seen any benchmarks for these games on the flow.
Looks like a great machine. Thanks!
As subject - used to work, now they don’t. If I shutdown and turn on laptop, lights come on, colour cycle - enter windows, it goes dark.
Updated - ghelper , ensured that windows is not controlling keyboard in personalisation settings, nothing works.
Completely baffled !
I’ve installed windows from scratch btw - no ASUS software ever .
Thoughts?
Hi, does anyone have a solution for portal dual screening? I see you cns get one that attach to the back of a laptop but the vents for this obviously makes that not usable
I listened to y’all on here and I came up with something for my Z13 time to lock in, make some music
Hey there guys, just want to rant of how bad it is to live in Australia with Asus product lol.
I bought the 32GB Flow-Z 13 from Japan last year, and was searching for the US keyboard ever since then. Asus parts website from US sells them but it does not ship to Australia.
So I tried the unthinkable, I called up Asus Australia and ask if it's possible to buy a replacement keyboard. And the reply is pretty much disappointing. At first the staff on the phone stated that we cannot sell you the keyboard as it's not possible as it's a laptop, I then told the gent that it's a detachable keyboard after I sent him the Serial number of the product. Then the staff checked and stated that in Australia, they cannot sell me the detachable keyboard, and the only way is to sent them the laptop back to Asus Australia, have their technician look at it, then can get it replace.... I was like what the xxxx. I tried to reason and even stated that its a detachable keyboard, why would I need to send the whole laptop for a replacement. and all Asus state is that we dont care, sent it to us for repair or leave it as it is....
I bid them farewell and hang up.
Seriously how hard is it to get the damn keyboard outside of US lol. I even tried to look for it 2 months ago when I went to Japan. but still no luck.
For a laptop with that price tag, I do kinda expect I can look up the parts online, but all I can find via 3rd party sites are from year 2023 version keyboard.
I love the laptop and use it for work/travel basically everyday. but with Asus customer service like this? Thinking of changing brand real soon with better customer services.
As a disclaimer, I'm planning to opt out of windows completely and transform my Z13 into Steam gaming machine.
Thanks!
Create file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-disable-i8042-wakeup.rules
Place the below contents into it and save
# Disable i8042 atkbd wakeup on startupSUBSYSTEM=="serio", DRIVER=="atkbd", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled"
This will disable random sleep wake events from a keyboard device that doesn't actually exist
Edit: To clarify this fix stops your device from waking up when it shouldn't during sleep.
I love the z13 (new owner) 128gb version however I don't play games I bought it for local models only.
What are others using the z13 for?
Like the title says. I have issues with display port over USB-C. Sometimes it works flawlessly and other times it requires a hard reset to work. Are any of these quirks solved with Bazzite?
Hello gents, I'm struggling to find a 180deg USB4 Cable to pair with my Asus Flow Z13 and my external SSD enclosure.
Attached are images of what I'm talking about, these meet the USB4 specs (specifically 40gbps) but all the ones I find are too short, I need something about 1ft.
The last image shows a adaptor I've tried, but the signal integrity suffers, and I've had several issues where the signal drops, and my Z13 goes to black screen and reboots because of it.
So, a single 180deg cable is preferred, I realize this is a small niche.
I wonder what tps you all are getting. Also, do you think a 35B or 120B version will drop soon which can fit inside the z13?
