The first thing you need to realize is that this isn't just your usual/generic gaming laptop.
This is a convertible, thin and light at that, with gaming capabilities AS WELL. Hence, you can't compare it to any other gaming laptop because all of them are your usual clamshell form factor, which would outpace it in strict gaming performances, and the ASUS Flow series is the only of its kind. If you need a gaming-touchscreen-lightweight-convertible laptop, that is, a little bit of everything, then this should be a no-brainer.
There really isn't anything comparable. That's not going to stop a couple of imbeciles from showing up in this thread..."guh, guyth you can get a ginormous laptop with a better video card that looks like it's made by Fisher Price for the same price!!!"
Awesome deal and should be in FP in no time. I don't think there are any other Subnotebooks packing this much power in such a small form factor and providing the 2-in-1 functionality. Also, this laptop has a very solid battery life despite the p[owerful configuration. And you can enable USB4 to it by using the the Asus BETA Bios.

I ordered one of these and it is due to arrive on the 10th of July. Can anyone recommend any screen protectors or digital pens for this unit?

I tried a couple of screen protectors from Amazon, none really fit the whole screen and the ones that covered all the functional area, made the screen fuzzy... I ended up not using anything, but if you find something please let us know!

Quote from tornadog :
is this only for external monitors. Sounds like a lot of work to get some basic gaming going!
Well... It kinda is but it is simple enough once you know what you are doing. You have to do the same thing with most desktops anyways, you have to manually enable VRR on the monitor itself, then make sure VRR is enabled in software. It ain't much different.

The basic concept is:
1) You have to have the latest AMD Radeon Software installed.
2) On the AMD software, press the settings icon in the far right.
3) Once additional tabs are seen on screen (System, Graphics, Display), go to Display, and you will see a 1 and 2 options if you have an external monitor connected.
4) Select the monitor you want to work with, and the first option below it will be named "Adaptive Sync Compatible", make sure the toggle is enabled, you might get a warning saying it's not compatible and the toggle will be disabled if VRR is not enabled on your external monitor.
5) Press Windows start menu, and type in "Graphics Settings", this is the Windows control over the 2 GPUs.
6) You may have to do additional changes in Nvidia Control Panel.

This is for external monitors where it might not default to VRR On, and in case you notice VRR is not enabled by default for some reason on the internal, it's a simple toggle.

By the way, 2 additional updates:

I switched the Media$h1t Wifi card for an AX210 from Amazon, for $20, and holy cow, I thought people were kidding on how bad the Mediatek is, it's day and night, much recommended change.

To open the bottom panel, I started prying from front to back, but one of the sides wasn't coming off, so I started prying Front, Side, Back, the back came off before the side one, then the remaining side was easier to pry off.


Another change I did, since I'm gaming on this thing, I went directly to the Nvidia Control Panel and limited the framerate to 120, since my games are using dGPU, and you really can't get display more than that on the internal display anyways, anything past 120 is a waste of heat, battery, throttling..

I tested in in CSGO, CSGO was cranking up to 160 frames on whichever settings I had, so I went to Nvidia Control panel, Manage 3D settings, Max Frame Rate, set it to 120.

And there it was, the Steam FPS counter marked 120 on CSGO, and it started to run cooler and with better lows...

Tested this on the external monitor by the way, further evidence that dGPU passthrough is working perfectly on this laptop, otherwise the FPS counter would have been lower and all over the place if defaulting to iGPU (it didn't).

I was about to grab this but your comment stopped me. Are you saying I can't use the dGPU on an external display? That kills it for me.
That is actually incorrect, I've been posting a lot, and repeating that dGPU passthrough works fine

Doesn't the igpu do pass through to the dgpu? So you take a hit but it's a small hit?
It does

For a screen protector I will probably try this one as it says it's for the GV301RE specifically... although I don't have high hopes that it'll fit properly.

For stylus I did some digging and found the one that most people recommend for the X13... The Renaisser Raphael 520C. The C version has USB-C and is the same price as the micro-usb 520 model so it's best to get the 520C. The Surface pen also comes highly recommended but the Raphael is cheaper and has the same funcionality. Renaisser isn't just a no-name brand, they have their own website as well but they also sell through Amazon.

Reviews states that it doesn't work on Windows 11. Have you tried this stylus? Thanks.
