He feel Even thinner when you use the device itself. When everything you have under your palms is this thin keyboard blanket, and you do not see what thickness of the rear of the device is, it’s a bit magical, especially during the game.
This brings me another enormous advantage of this type of design – thermal. This thing has never exceeded 70 degrees Celsius internally, even under constraint tests in performance mode. And he remained quite silent. This is particularly noticeable when you do not play. The Z13 flow does an excellent job to keep silent and cool when it should, which cannot be said for many gaming laptops. This makes it an even better hybrid work / game device.
The excellent thermal have the vertical orientation to thank, by sucking tons of air through the intake vents at the back of the tablet, without obstruction by an office like the bottom of laptops. The exhaust vents, on the other hand, are located just at the top of the tablet, so far from the keyboard and your hands so physically possible. This is another big change compared to laptops of play, which often spit hot air from your mouse.
A difficult sale?

I do not like limited configurations for the Z13 flow. Asus only sells expensive configurations with at least 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, from more than $ 2,000. It is a shame that there is no lower level option to reduce this starting price. Not everyone needs a lot of memory and storage. If the starting price was closer to $ 1,500, I could see it attract a wider audience. This is particularly true since the Z13 flow is not necessarily a machine before the first performance.
I also want speakers and webcam to be a little more impressive. They do the work and are better than what you find on many laptops of playing, but if they could correspond to the pro surface, they would have an even stronger hand, even the most premium gaming computers. And I would be neglected without mentioning the NVIDIA RTX 50 laptop GPUs from the NVIDIA series. It will be a little before the RTX 5050 and 5060 laptops of lower level arrive, but when they do, they can make the comparison with the Z13 less favorable flow.
The comparison of prices to performance with comparable gaming laptops does not take place in favor of the Z13 flow. He will never hold a candle for his peers on this one specification. But this was never the point. Instead, the Flow Z13 continues to question the conventional idea of laptops of play, and with the 2025 model, it is surprisingly successful.
