![]() As for the trackpad, it can track my fingers accurately too, much like how the trackpad of a good productivity laptop behaves. The keyboard, for one, is quite comfortable to type on with just enough key travel to not feel shallow the very pronounced tactile bump makes for a pleasant typing experience as well. However, tipping the scales at 1.3kg, it’s not exactly a very comfortable “tablet” to lug around.Īnother reason why the ROG Flow X13 would serve as a fantastic productivity laptop are its input devices. I can put it in tent mode when I don’t need the physical keyboard to bring the screen closer to me – Asus said this will also improve the cooling performance of the laptop – and I can even push the display all the way back to turn it into a tablet. I really appreciate the convertible nature of the Flow X13 as well. The fact that it also has a 16:10 aspect ratio – which won’t feel quite as cramped as more mainstream 16:9 displays – makes it ideal for productivity tasks too. The 13.4-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS display can get reasonably bright with punchy, vibrant colours, and it has good viewing angles as well. ![]() Intel Core i7-10875H (Acer Predator Triton 500)Īnd then there’s the screen of the ROG Flow X13, which is very pleasant to look at. ProcessorĪMD Ryzen 9 5900HX (Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE)ĪMD Ryzen 9 4900HS (Asus ROG Zephyrus G14) If you need a lot of processing power, you’ll get exactly that with the Flow X13 and more. Surprisingly enough, it can even keep up with the Ryzen 9 5900HX chip in the bigger ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE that’s quite impressive. To show just how powerful the Flow X13’s Ryzen 9 5900HS processor really is, I put it through its paces in CineBench R20. This level of battery life certainly shows the power efficiency of AMD’s chip despite its beefy performance. ![]() On average, I can get between seven to eight hours of use on a single charge, which is incredibly good for a laptop with such a powerful octa-core processor (Ryzen 9 5900HS) under the hood. One of the best qualities of the ROG Flow X13 has to be its excellent battery life. It’s for this very reason why I think the Flow X13 (without the XG Mobile enclosure) is meant to appeal to folks who want a good productivity laptop – let me explain why in the following section. The external GPU enclosure is not sold separately at the moment either quite an odd decision by Asus. That’s right, the only way to get the XG Mobile – which is really one of the biggest appeals of this gaming laptop – is to fork out RM13,499 for the range-topping Flow X13. The external GPU enclosure is bundled exclusively with the RM13,499 Flow X13 with an even faster Ryzen 9 5980HS processor paired with the XG Mobile’s RTX 3080 GPU. Three distinct variants of the ROG Flow X13 are offered in Malaysia, and the one we got for this review is the Ryzen 9 5900HS model without the XG Mobile for RM6,499.
