I have searched all over the internet for a protective cover for my Asus ROG flow z13.
the laptop can easily slip and fall, and at least to protect the corners and the screen.
the case that came with it is nice , but is there a protective cover that keeps the back led open and the same for the kickstand. If anyone knows , that would be a great help
As the XG Mobile RTX 5070 TI is not easy to find,and pretty pricey with just 12GB VRAM, the Aorus RTX 5060TI AI Box’s price, availability and its 16GB VRAM seems to be a choice that is more appealing, anyone has one that can share how well it works?
Hey hey,
Just wanted to share a little post, my local best buy had an almost 900 off retail PLUS an open box 64gb model the other day for a total of 1300 savings.
So instead of 2900 I only paid 1600 for a 64gb model. Almost perfect condition but somehow the prior purchaser managed to dent the bottom left side speaker aluminum without scratching or compromising the screen (real skill).
Fully functional, slightly barely noticable chastise chassis dent. But hey considering I could replace the chastise chassis for like $400 if it really bugs me, but in the meantime I'm not bothered and function unaffected.
The machine is a real beast. I had a legion 4070 rtx and generally this is blowing it out of the water with the ryzen 395+. But my main selling point was really mobile development; I'm in a hybrid technical/dev position requiring me to wear many IT - related hats for my org so a beast of a tablet really fits the form factor and portability more compared to bulky legion.
No regrets, keeping my eyes out for deals on a 128gb for the time being would totally upgrade up if there's a deal to be found :)
edit b/c i can't spell 😂
Hello, got myself a Z13 a month ago. Runs very well but I just can't get Death Stranding 1 to run. When I start the game and try to load a save it always crashes at exactly 50 percent loading because of a directx access violation error.
I tried finding the more stable 24. AMD Drivers but they aren't availible to download anymore from the AMD Website.
Did anybody manage to run this game on their device?
Hey guys not sure i am posting in the right forum but i would just like some advice on a tablet/laptop i was thinking of purchasing but after seeing the price i am not so sure anymore. I want something portable that i can edit videos and play games on and thought the z flow 13 looks really nice.
When i looked at the price in Australia i was shocked though. In america it's advertised for $2300 so about $3200 Australian but these computer shops in Australia are wanting $6200-$7000 for one and i just cannot understand this.
Are these computer companies just price gouging at this point ? I know RAM is apparently more expensive but $3000 more expensive ?
Anyone know why there is such a high price or maybe they know no one will buy it at this price and just inflated the price to get the real price they want once it goes on sale ?
I've recently considered switching to linux on my Z13 (2025) and was wondering if you had any suggestions on which distro has the best out of the box support. I don't mind having to tinker a bit but I'd like for be a one and done kind of deal. I've tried with Cachyos but had some issues related to the rog-control-center and the initial install. I'm a big fan of Fedora workstation but apparently it's lacking some support.
Do you have any experience with it? Stylus support is a major point for me
Today, 5/19/26, Best Buy has the 64GB Ram model for under $2K for the deal of the day. I've got the KJP model but picked one up to keep in the truck incase I need to do some work when I'm out. Glad I moved to this from the Surface's. Just wish they had a cellular version.
Has anyone tried running Adobe Premier pro or after effects on flow Z13? chatgpt and claude says its gonna be bad !
Shoutout MicroCenter open box. Tested it in store on 3dmark and it all looks great! Came with everything including the carrying case, had just 1 cycle.
I was randomly looking for a laptop on the site and saw one open box available at 2AM. Reserved it asap, super stoked! Coming from a 64gb Z13, don’t know how I’ll use the 128gb of ram haha.
So I'm fairly satisfied with my new beast, but I'm facing some weird issues.
I'm running CachyOS b/c fuck Windows. I can run pretty intense LLMs that peg the memory and GPU at 100% no problem, but when running some games (and in mixed CPU/GPU synthetic stress tests) the system just suddenly shuts down. I thought it was overheating, but I'm not sure that's the case, or at least it's not the die itself what's overheating. I've been monitoring temps and they can go as high as 95 °C with no (immediate) ill effects, but the system might shutdown at temperatures as low as 82 °C.
I contacted Asus and they won't help me until I've completed their diagnostics which are only available under Windows (not even a UEFI app like Dell, Lenovo and many others use) so it'll be a while until I can comply with that.
I must make clear that I have the TDP maxed at 80 W and the fans running at 100%, and I can tell by the noise and exhaust air that it's running pretty much as intended.
Have you guys experienced something like this? Do you have any solutions or suggestions?
I just installed Forza Horizon 6 an hour ago, I barely dive into graphic settings, just set the resolution at max, limit 60 fps, medium setting, Fullscreen, and fsr 3 balanced. I noticed on opening races there are some stuttering, rarely but very noticeable.
I personally think it’s about damn time.
erased the cache (there was no cache in ubisoft laucher file .instead I erased the one in the appdata part I changed the name .
I fresh started on clicking on play on steam (I started the ubisoft in administrator)
and this time it returned to "play" again no ubisoft window
then I tried to change in properties of steam game dx11.exe and exe (without dx11) the game app in forcing windows 8 and/or run in administrator
and this time it returned to "continue" in steam game page
and finally I tried to run in administrator the file named blacklist launcher in steam in windows 8 mode or adnimistrator mode
then ubisoft said it had to shut down unrecoverable error
From all that I have done so far the o Lu visual clues I have in mind was when I click on play on steam a black window command prompt appearing and disappearing, the mouse icon with turning ring this ring disappears to eternity then when just about to stop the game (seeming running but nothing) the h şsoft launcher the purple window appears just after stopping by clicking on X button on steam page of the game , Ubisoft (oh remembers to shows up again and disappears , and now because of long time frustration I shut down my pc really
That’s all the things that I tried but all messed up , I tried every forcing to work on windows 8 , administrator thing , dism , sfc scan , steam as administ , ubisoft as administ and vice versa , I don’t want to do a bypass I want an absolute solution to get things clean with this game
Please help me are there Any asus Rog flow z13 users by any chance ???
I've barely seen anything about ASUS' Thunderbolt 5 dock. Seems like it would be a good 2-cable setup (1 Thunderbolt 5 cable + 200W power supply).

Has anyone tried this? One big draw for me as a video editor is the M.2 NVMe SSD slot for additional storage. Razer also has a TB5 dock, although it doesn't have an HDMI port or micro SD slot.
**ASUS ROG Flow Z13 keeps shutting down mid-use and ASUS support is useless — anyone else?**
So my ROG Flow Z13 has been randomly shutting down with zero warning. No BSOD, no error, no nothing — just instant power off mid-operation. Doesn't matter what I'm doing, it just dies.
Contacted ASUS support expecting some actual help and got absolutely nowhere. For a laptop at this price point, you'd expect at least a competent support team, but apparently not.
This thing wasn't cheap. The whole selling point of the ROG line is supposed to be premium performance and reliability — so why is it randomly switching off like a cheap burner phone?
Anyone else dealt with this? Is there a fix ASUS isn't telling us about? At this point I'm wondering if it's a widespread hardware issue they're just quietly ignoring.
Tired of paying premium prices for premium problems and budget-tier support.
Have an Xbox Ally X but the screen is just too small to comfortably use. The Z13 32GB 390 variant is currently $1799 on Amazon. About $1k cheaper than the 64GB 395 at BB (insane) and $200 cheaper than the LeGo 2.
Is the performance good enough at this price? I know there is a gap between the 390 and 395 but at that price seems good enough. Have to assume it will be significantly better compared to the Z2E. Not looking for anything larger than the 13 inch, it will just live in my backpack for hotel stays.
TIA
Has any of you made a 3D-printed project that would let the Z13 behave like a laptop? I mean hinges, the ability to place it on a bed without it falling over, etc.
I have a decent gaming pc and as military im traveling and wonder if this would be a replacement to my current tower to alleviate the hassle of packing my monitors and pc with the peripherals plus im at the 128gb and wonder if it would be good for gaming along the lines of helldivers, ffxiv, and re9 while doing some work with Ai models
I've had this for 3 months now and I have to say it is the worst computer I've ever had with the best specs. It is so sad I really want it to work. Has anybody else had these issues?
Constantly shuts down the screen for a few minutes when you're on USBC PD
Closing the lid and packing it up is dangerous because it doesn't shut the computer off And when you take it out the battery is dead and it's way too hot to touch
Quite often the screen has Mass amounts of artifacts on it, probably from overheating
it's a tablet acting like a laptop but it's succeeding at neither of them. I'm not a gamer but it works great for things like open claw in theory What do you use it as?
I really really want this computer to be useful because the theory behind it is amazing. The specs are awesome. Great amount of RAM but it's just useless And constantly letting you down
I just pulled the trigger on the monster and couldnt be happier. Coming from MS Surface pro for the past 5 or so years, got sick of the ARM64 limitations. Anyway, my first questions are very basic but need to be sure about a few things especially after reading a lot, a looot of mixed opinions:
Charging. Should i use the USB-c or the bulky one. I already set the charging limit to 80%, not even sure about that neither. On the go, can i use my samsung 50W mobile charger for emergency...
For now i kept the Armour Crate since i didnt notice any failure, all drivers up to date. I m only riding this beast for a week kow but is it a major upgrade if i switch to G-helper.
Any other recommendations or tips from you fellow Z13 owners would be much appreciated. Any useful accessories...
PS: i m almost 50, not a hardcore gamer, very basic things for around 2 hrs a day, 4 days a week on average. Mixed use at work and at home. I m sure of 1 thing though, these specs are more than enough for my needs.
Thank you all so much for answering a 50 years old man who is feeling 25 again just because he bought a "gamer" stuff.
P&L
