![]() That means that because of the low profile of these feet, fresh air will struggle to get into the fans with demanding loads, impacting performance and internal temperatures, as we’ll explain further down.Īnother downside of this Ergolift hinge design is the fact that the main radiators are placed under the display, shooting the hot air into the screen. However, that’s only happening when you push the screen past 110 degrees, which you’re not going to do most of the time, when this will rest on the four main rubber feet on the underside. This laptop is also an Ergolift hinge design, which means that the screen lifts up on two small feet placed at the back, allowing for a slight inclination of the main chassis and extra ventilation space under the main deck. The convertible form factor is the main reason Asus had to go with this sort of feet, though, as thicker ones would have prevented the display from folding back to 360-degrees in tablet mode. What I’m not that fond of is the laptop’s overall stability on the desk, as I find the rubber feet on the bottom to be tiny, low profile, and somewhat slippery. Speaking of the screen, there’s also a camera at the top, flanked by microphones. I’m also glad that Asus didn’t skimp on implementing a complete keyboard here, and that they’ve placed the status LEDs on the sides and not under the screen. For example, the blunted front-lip and corners that I find friendly on the wrists even when using this on the lap or on cramped desks. ![]() There are a couple of other aspects that I like about this Flow X13 design. The RC and the RA might also be available with Ryzen 7 and 5 processors in some regions.

Our test unit is the highest-tier configuration available for the 2022 Flow X13, the GV301RE variant with the Ryzen 9 6900HS + 32 GB RAM + RTX 32050Ti specs. I’m also going to refer to the Z13 for comparison here and there, but for the most part, this article is centered on the X13, and I’ll have a dedicated comparison between the Flow X13 and Z13 models in the next couple of days. ![]() I’ve been using the Flow X13 for the last few weeks and have gathered my thoughts and impressions on it in this article. ![]() At the same time, this convertible design now has to face strong competition in its niche from the newer member of the ROG Flow series, the Z13 tablet, built on a more powerful Intel Core i9 processor and with a superior vapor-chamber cooling module. This year, the 2022 Asus ROG Flow X13 gets a hardware update to the latest AMD Ryzen 9 platform, DDR5 memory, a MUX capable dGPU implementation, and gen4 SSD storage, as well as improved screen options and faster connectivity.
