ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces 2025 ROG Flow Z13 Availability and Pricing

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced that the 2025 ROG Flow Z13 is now available for pre-order. This versatile gaming 2-in-1 can feature up to AMD's newest AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Processor with Radeon 8060S Graphics and a unified memory structure, allowing for incredible performance and power efficiency. A new stainless steel and copper vapor chamber, larger intake vents, and 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans offer 70% more airflow for quiet and efficient cooling.

This 13-inch tablet boasts a stunning ROG Nebula Display, a 2.5K resolution 180 Hz touchscreen with 500 nits of peak brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The Flow Z13 now also features a larger 70Wh battery, a larger touchpad and keycaps, and a convenient Command Center button for quick access to vital system functions. With dual USB-C ports, both of which support USB4 and power delivery, as well as a dedicated HDMI 2.1 port, the Flow Z13 lets gamers leave their dongles at home.
Power efficiency reimagined
Inside ROG Flow Z13 is AMD's new Ryzen AI Max processors with Radeon 8060S Graphics. With 16 high-performance Zen 5 CPU cores and 40 compute units worth of RDNA 3.5 graphics on the same processor, the Z13 has the muscle for both intense multitasking and heavyweight gaming. The RDNA 3.5 GPU cores power gaming performance that rivals dedicated graphics, with the added benefit of drawing significantly less power, making it the perfect choice for a gaming tablet. The Z13's processor also boasts 50 TOPS of NPU performance, making it a certified Copilot+ PC that offers incredible versatility with built-in AI features and tools.

Unified quad channel memory
With both the CPU and GPU cores sharing a single processor die, the ROG Flow Z13 is able to utilize a unified memory structure, allowing for incredible flexibility and versatility. Traditional gaming laptops and tablets have a dedicated CPU and GPU, both with distinct pools of RAM that can't be shared. The Flow Z13 has one large pool of memory that can be allocated to the Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 compute cores dynamically, giving gamers access to plentiful VRAM in modern games and excellent performance in other memory intensive tasks when not gaming.

Up to 128 GB of ultra-high speed LPDDR5X 8000 MHz RAM gives gamers plenty of memory for even the most demanding games and applications, all shared dynamically as needed for a seamless experience. This quad-channel memory configuration offers maximum bandwidth and minimal latency, offering both the CPU and GPU cores the most performance possible.

With a dedicated NPU, a high-performance GPU, and the ability to allocate up to 96 GB of VRAM, the Flow Z13 is the ultimate portable workstation. Capable of running a 70B large language model locally on the machine, the Z13 is ready for any advanced AI task.

Revamped cooling
The 2025 ROG Flow Z13 features a brand-new vapor chamber, now built with lightweight stainless steel and copper and offering 54% more coverage of the mainboard compared to the previous generation design. Larger intake vents and dual 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans help push exhaust air through ultrathin 0.1 mm heatsink fins that are extra-efficient without adding bulk to the machine. As a tablet, the Flow Z13 houses all of its heat-producing components behind the display and rarely sits flat on a table, with a standing design granting ample access to fresh air and a natural cooling advantage compared to gaming laptops.

The Flow Z13 features a redesigned routing for air from the pair of 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans, diverting a small amount to a specially designed channel behind the touchscreen to keep the user's skin temperatures lower during use. In addition, integrated dust filters help keep hair and debris out of the machine, keeping the Z13's cooling system reliable for years to come.

Brilliant visuals
This compact 13-inch laptop boasts a gorgeous high-resolution 2.5K and 180 Hz refresh rate Nebula Display, for incredibly immersive games and video content. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protects the touchscreen from accidental knicks and scratches. With 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and 500 nits of peak brightness, this ROG Nebula Display is ready to light up the gaming world.

More ports and features than ever
Despite its svelte size, the 2025 ROG Flow Z13 stands ready to become the centerpiece of any gaming battle station. Featuring dual USB-C ports, both of which support USB4, DisplayPort 1.4 output, and power delivery, the Z13 offers incredible flexibility for any devices and peripherals. It also sports a dedicated HDMI 2.1 port, a USB Type-A port, a microSD card reader, and an audio combo jack. The Flow Z13 is the only tablet that truly allows gamers to leave their dongles behind.

ROG Flow Z13 now sports a much larger 70Wh battery, when combined with the power efficiency of AMD's Ryzen AI processors, gives gamers more battery life than ever before. A larger touchpad and individual keycaps offer a more comfortable typing experience. And as a final touch, a brand-new Command Center button allows for seamless access to vital system functions, essential for any tablet.

Good to see a device natively support UHS-II microSD slot out of the box.

2 minutes too many if you ask me, but stocks probably pretty thin so there's that.

Unfortunately, here in the US, you can only get the 128 GB version from ASUS directly. Best Buy and the other retailers only have the 32 GB versions.

This will run rings around HX 370 and the older 8840U at 20W to 25W TDP. Beyond that is no contest.

It should beat the previous gen 13900H in CPU tasks at 35W/45W as these are full Zen 5 cores. However the RTX 4070M at 60W/65W would still beat the 8060S at max TDP with 90% EPP, which seems to be around 80W due to form factor.

Unfortunately, apparently there are "western" regions where you can't get 128 GB (or even 64 GB) unit at all and it is not planned either.
Shame on you ASUS :(

Apparently Best Buy has an entry for the 64 GB version:

I can only shrug in disappointment with you on this. Sucks that ASUS doesn't see your region as important on getting the higher end SKUs.

is that OLED? The color gamut suggests it might be so

It's barely existent though / at larger capacities, might as well do full size SD...or shortly micro/SDexpress

It's IPS. Maybe good IPS, but IPS.

I'm 99% there's no native HDR

Most 13" sized Windows based devices(laptops, tablets/convertibles/2 in 1) seem to come with at most a microSD slot(if the manufacturer decides to include more than 1 or 2 USB C ports) these days and they almost always capped with UHS-I speeds so in those terms its a progress. Really waiting to see what Ninentendo does with their Switch 2 as its rumoured to include a microSD Express slot which might finally push adoption of SDexpress(Sandisk has couple of microSD express cards on preorder already) in devices throughout the industry.

So it's really only 2 versions - with a 12 or 16 core CPU.
The 12-core is only available with 32GB, and the 16-core can be had with 32, 64 or 128GB RAM.

Wonder if the RAM is soldered or socketed?

EDIT - Ars Technica say soldered.
