The idea of a for reals gaming tablet is definitely enticing, something that can play modern titles with decent performance. The new ASUS ROG Flow Z13 for 2022 is definitely that, and the results are pretty remarkable. As per the headline this thing can ray-trace thanks to its GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics. And it's a stylish build to boot.

A snippet.

With all of the power of a fully-fledged gaming laptop the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is a feat of cutting edge engineering, and this is reflected in its stylish design that highlights its modern features. Weighing in at 1.1kg it might not be the lightest tablet on the market, but holding it does give off a similar feel to that of a top-of-the-line Surface. Sturdy is one word to use, though based on the impressive cooling and relatively low noise output when in use the build quality extends beyond the high-quality aluminium shell and finish.

ASUS notes that the visual look and design of the ROG Flow Z13 was inspired by the 20th century space race, so there’s an element of retro tech aesthetics. One very cool aspect of the design is that the lines and tech-like patterns represent the technology inside, outlines of where the SSD storage is located sits alongside the sort of angular patterns we’ve seen across many of the recent ASUS ROG products. Fan exhausts and other grill-like openings are strategically placed, and with the great snap-on keyboard and wide stand it can easily sit like a desk-bound laptop in addition to something you could hold. One very cool addition is a window on the back that lights up so you can see some of the silicon inside, adding to the premium nature of the build.
