The Z13 supports USB-C Power Delivery for charging, but that won’t be powerful enough to allow its full performance under load. Instead, it comes with a 200W power adapter that uses Asus’ proprietary and reversible slim power jack — like on its recent laptops.

The original ROG Flow Z13 was always a bit of an odd machine. It felt like the strange lovechild between a Surface Pro and a traditional gaming laptop. But at CES 2025, ASUS is giving the tablet a much needed refresh that includes a massive performance boost thanks to the company’s updated XG Mobile graphics dock.

The new ASUS ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet features a 13-inch 2.5K 180Hz touchscreen Nebula Display with 500 nits of peak brightness and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a new stainless steel and copper vapor chamber, larger intake vents, and 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans which provide 70% more airflow for quiet, and efficient cooling.

ASUS has unveiled the 2025 refresh of its acclaimed ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet, bringing many improvements across the table. The most significant change here comes in the form of AMD's new Strix Halo APUs. The Flow Z13 will be offered with either a 16-core or 12-core configuration, both featuring RDNA 3.5 graphics.

I like the idea of a gaming tablet, but between the price and practicality, is it really a good idea to bring the Asus ROG Flow Z13 back?
