Amazon is offering the lowest price I've seen on ASUS' powerful ultraportable gaming convertible. You can pick up a brand new Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming laptop with 32GB of RAM for just $1,699.99 with free shipping after a $400 off discount. The Asus Flow Z13 (in tablet mode) isn't much bigger or heavier than a handheld gaming PC, but it boasts way better gaming performance that rivals full-sized laptops.
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 Gaming Laptop Drops Below $2,000
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a 13.4" 2-in-1 convertible laptop that weighs in at only 2.65 pounds. That's about one pound heavier than the Xbox Ally X handheld, which weighs in at 1.6 pounds. A premium laptop deserves premium build quality, and the Flow Z13 doesn't disappoint with a blacked out CNC aluminum alloy chassis and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus screen protection. The Flow Z13 is convertible, the keyboard can be detached so that the Z13 can be used as a tablet.
This particular configuration is equipped with a 13.4" 2560x1600 180Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 CPU with AMD Radeon 8050S iGPU, 32GB of LPDDR5X-8000Mhz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. This is less powerful than the highest end ROG Flow Z13, which comes equipped with a Ryzen AI Max 395 CPU with 8060S iGPU, but it's also far less expensive (currently the least expensive model is $2,100 ). The Radeon 8050S is more powerful than the Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU found in the highest-end handheld gaming PCs like the ROG Xbox Ally X.
