Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025) review: A gaming laptop and tablet with serious power

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025) is a new gaming laptop 2-in-1 that continues the company's Z13 lineup, and which is still trying to convince the world that a gaming tablet pretending to be a gaming laptop is a winning formula. Helping immensely with this latest addition is the inclusion of AMD's brand new Ryzen AI Max 300 lineup of CPUs, which have stunningly powerful integrated GPUs that unlock new levels of performance for such a compact device. Whether it all adds up to creating one of the best gaming laptop devices around will largely depend on whether you see the potential in the hybrid tablet/laptop form factor that Asus has chosen. It's certainly primed to be one of the best thin and light gaming laptop options in terms of power, but a high price could mean it struggles against chunkier and more conventional laptops. However, with a 180Hz, 1600p display, and plenty of ports, this portable PC has more going for it than just a new chip. To see if it all comes together into a winning package, I've spent the last week putting this device through its paces, running gaming and productivity benchmarks, as well as gaming at home and while traveling. Read on to find out how it fares.
