... but it just plain HURTS to pay that kind of price tag for something with 16GB of RAM, regardless of the farkles it comes with.
Wait a generation or two on a product like this.

Had the OG z13, and it was a good machine, but returned it because it was USB 2.0 and just not worth it for price I paid.

The X13 just makes more sense to me because it weights less (vs this combined with the keyboard cover. the weight listed is just the tablet alone), actually can be used as a laptop, and somehow is also a 2-in-1 convertible and also pen compatible. It just makes more sense because you can argue it's like a MacBook Air ultra light laptop that can still game very nicely with a dGPU, and it's a perfect balance for work/school and gaming.
The Z13 feels like a bulkier surface pro that games nicely, but I think as someone who have actually used surface pro in the past, the fact that you cannot use it on a lap will always be an inconvenience. And the same inconvenience is here for this thick tablet that is too heavy for a tablet, but form factor also doesn't make it a very good work/school laptop. And as a tablet is just a bit too heavy and also runs hot, with shitty battery although this is the same also for X13.
There are some other differences too obviously, such as X13 tends to throttle the GPU wattage more than the Z13 due to it being lighter, and it's something like a difference of 10 watt which isn't insignificant. But overall, while this product is a very cool concept, I could never get behind Z13. The X13 on the other hand I just absolutely love and use everyday.
