Very new. Released less than 2 months ago. Have a feeling is not returns but something else going on. I'm picking one up today actually so curious what condition it will be. But not sure how indicative that'll be since the real stock will be those that ship.

Any update? Was it clean?

So are these sold separately to the external GPU casing?

yes please update your experience! This seems too good to be true. 500 nits, AMD 6900HS , 3050TI — all under 3 lbs

I'm currently shopping for something starting this size and this is one I'm looking at. I'm curious why so many have been returned. Nothing in the reviews I have read or watched seems to show any problems. I found this video as well. https://youtu.be/NSt_uXqEba4

I'm sure its the 3050ti. People spending this kind of money want more gpu power. They also probably didn't realize the gpu box/ amp is like $1,500 or so if you can even find one. That said for the size there isn't anything like this.

One of the reviewers on the BB site (who gave it 5 stars) mentioned this...

"No doubt this is the most powerful 13.3 laptop on the market. Bought it to replace my aged Razer blade 15 2018. Few things to mention, the quality control might not be perfect. This is my second unit. The touchpad of the first one is loose so it makes clicking noise. I also got blue screen when watching videos (youtube or local files) via amd iGPU. Thought it was a driver issue, but the second unit shows no such issue right out of the box. So be sure to check these two issues after delivery."

If they still use the old design, then the ROG XG Mobile Interface cable would be easily stuck in the machine. You can not unplug it. Easy search on the internet, and yes it is a widely separated issue.

I have 2 of these. Not a single problem with any of them. Runs without a hitch. Everything works..build quality is great. No wobbles, gaps, loose ports etc.

It is IDENTICAL to previous gen x13. Only wish it had HDMI 2.1

I had this issue a few times when i first got my XG mobile for my 5900hs model about 8 months ago. there's been significant bios updates to both the x13 and the xg mobile. you should use the myasus app to update all the firmwares and bios/vbios. the issue hasn't appeared (at least for me) in half a year now. they've been pushing firmware and bios updates about every other month. they've slowed down updates recently, and my experience has improved significantly.

however, it still has some issues. sometimes on boot, tablet mode will be broken, on screen keyboard will refuse to load or wifi will be unavailable. a restart fixes it, but it's still a minor annoyance.

if you're buying one of these, update the firmware of it and the xg mobile immediately. you will have a much better experience. it's still not perfect, but if you want a device that combines a wacom cintiq experience with gaming on the go, that can then dock for increased performance (3080 dock feels maybe on par with a 3070 laptop, probably the reduced bandwidth is bottlenecking it) combined with tablet mode, there's nothing else like this machine, but it's a very niche device. works fine with all surface pens.

Terrible price. 3050ti for this price is insane when you can get a 3060 for the same price or squeak out an open box 3070
But that's not the point of this machine. No 3070 or even 3060 gets close to this weight. The 2021 G14 is the only comparison, but it's 3.6 lbs. and a 16:9 non-touchscreen. The X13 (I have the 2021 model) is a lot of machine in a tiny package. Plenty of thin-&-light laptops have no dedicated GPU, and plenty of gaming laptops are 4+ lbs. This is pretty unique.
