With a 4K touch screen and 360-degree hinges, the Asus Flow X13 can be used as a luxury tablet. So most users will probably supplement their computer with one or more large and fast monitors at home. But so is the screen size of 13 inches as well. This will be a serious limitation in some games, especially 3D first-person shooters. On the downside, the screen has only 60 Hz refresh rate. With Pantone certification and 116% sRGB color space, we are at a quality that can be used professionally. (Photo: Asus) 4K touch screenĪs we have also seen in several other super portables this year, Asus has here abandoned the widescreen format in favor of the 16:10 format, which provides a little more screen space in height. With its massive graphics power, the Asus ROG Flow X13 is also interesting for creative professionals. And if there is heavy image editing or video processing on the program, it may be a very relevant candidate. And it has saved 100 grams of weight compared to the competitor Razer.Īlthough the letters ROG stand for Republic Of Gamers, Flow X13 looks discreet enough to be used as a work machine.
The lines are not quite as sharp as on the Razer Book 13, and the case is not as torsionally stable. The cabinet has a slightly knurled surface reminiscent of carbon fiber, but it is made of a magnesium alloy. ASUS ROG Flow X13 is light and compact enough to be taken everywhere. In other words, a machine that you can carry in your bag every day, without barely noticing it. The machine itself is a 13″ ultrabook in a matte black metal cabinet of only 1.3 kg. The XG Mobile graphics accelerator has its own carrying case. The graphics card lives in a separate box, called XG mobile. But I have never seen it nearly as compact and elegant as on the Asus ROG Flow X13, which calls the graphics box XG Mobile. Thanks to Thunderbolt and PCIe, it has become less complicated to get the two things to work together. The solution can be an external “graphics turbocharger”, ie a graphics card in a separate box, which pulls the load. We have seen examples of “portable” gaming machines weighing up to eight kilos! External turbocharger And they generate tremendous amounts of heat, which means large and heavy cooling systems. Powerful graphics cards use a lot of power, which harmonizes poorly with battery operation. Laptops with fast graphics are a paradox. Such power you do not get it for free, but the price is not unreasonable. It is smalle and lighter than most standard ultrabooks, but when it comes down to it, it can handle both the latest games and the heaviest graphics programs.
