Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025) review: A gaming tablet outclassed by its rivals

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 may be the best gaming tablet ever made, with the best integrated GPU in history. I've never found a "gaming tablet" that left a strong impression on me, and the 2025 Asus ROG Flow Z13 hasn't changed that. What I was really looking forward to was the debut of the AMD Ryzen AI Max (Strix Halo)–a unique processor that combines a powerful CPU with an NPU, a killer integrated GPU, and a massive cache, all for what I hoped would be a bacchanal of gaming and AI applications. I discovered that it could, but the competition is still better. Asus has a history of applying innovative solutions to gaming on the go. AMD should certainly celebrate what's been accomplished here, I just don't think it works. Yes, the Flow is perhaps the lightest gaming solution outside of a handheld, with a chip inside that has the best integrated graphics ever made. But it all boils down to a good product that falls short of greatness and for a price that should deliver much more. We've seen the Z13 before. In 2025, AMD convinced Asus that its powerful Ryzen AI Max, relying on integrated graphics alone, could measure up. Asus sells the ROG Flow in three different configurations.
