I wouldn't consider this an"gaming laptop". It's more a heavily beefed up Microsoft Surface. A Windows tablet that can do moderate gaming and AI work. You're paying a premium for the format and for the AMD chip set which is great but specialized.

Echo this x2. Out of a S A B C tier, it can be a B if you give it kudos for innovation, but it's truly a C tier for purely gaming.The gpu is equivalent to a 4060 and handles most games well with good battery life and quiet performance. It's only worthwhile if you are using this for work and AI to maximize what you're paying premium for.I ended up returning mines because it's clunky to use outside of a desk. I wouldn't maximize the premium use of it much.

Tempted by this, but there are better CPU/GPU combinations on the market.

This is FIRE. Bought one for 1900 about a month ago. Ram shortage started and it went to 2300. Computing this is a top CPU and it can game. Def not "a gaming" laptop per se but this is an all-around performer.
Very tweakable, you can adjust the amount of memory to video, so with a click of a button you have 16g or more if you like, pretty good battery life with some voltage adjustments. Cloud based restore and the HD is easily accessible if you upgrade. Plug the blank one in and it will take care of it all for you
If you use your laptop for more than just gaming OR you travel a lot and want to game on the road this is a great solution.

And yes, its sitting on 2 other laptops. Don't judge me 😁

F*** I spent way more than this recently on eBay with no returns. This is a much better deal.

Agreed, it can game but that's not where it shines.. It's an ultraportable, touch screen that has a chip that goes toe to toe with an M4/M4 Pro. If you do a lot of creative stuff, this chip is about as good as it gets on the Windows side.

This is super niche but if it ticks off the boxes for anyone, it really has no peers.

Asus reliability vs Apple reliability , in terms of laptops, I went with a apple max laptop. You can emulate a most windows games with crossover now. The screen, audio, keyboard, trackpad, battery life, and windows 11 being buggy still, made me choose the mac for work and gaming. I am playing oblivion remastered on the mac.

Storage on this maxes out at 2tb due to it only able to fit one 2230 drive.

It's the biggest limitation of this device.

Ooooof... In for one.
For black friday I bought an android tablet and a laptop... would rather consolidate them into this (+ more ram)
I'm not seeing anything comparable with that chip + 64gb ram at this price.

I got mine yesterday in excellent condition. Box was a little beat up but the tablet was mint. Someone had put a screen protector on it and it only had 25 hours of on time.

For gaming, not really a good deal as $800 5060 laptop does just as good. $1200-1600 gets you a nice 5070 ti


This z13 is more of AI LLM monster laptop, video editing. gaming is last on igpu.
Its the best gaming tablet for sure.

How does Asus warranty work on open boxes? I have heard it if you ask them to re-register the product then they ask you to submit receipt and when they see open-box mentioned on the receipt then they reduce the warranty to 90-days.

I bought an open-box that was registered by the previous owner so it won't allow me to register the product but it shows warranty till 12/15/2026.

I am not sure if I get warranty till 12/15/2026 or it won't be applicable till I register the product and when I register, it will be reduced to 90-days from date of purchase.

Anyone has experience with Asus warranty on open boxes?
