Ridiculously powerful, lots of use cases, replaced my entire desktop setup with it (TB4 Dock when at home, connected to a 49" Samsung).
Do yourself a massive favor and get G-Helper, don't bother with Asus' bloatware (Armoury Crate and MyAsus). Gives all the necessary features in a tiny and lightweight package, low overhead, and even more controls for undervolting, overclocking, etc. I've got modes setup for completely silent, balanced, and then an overdrive setting.
These price points are a steal, especially considering the RAM scenario right now.
Community Reviews
This open box ASUS ROG Flow Z13 stands out as a compact, very powerful Windows tablet for local AI work and gaming. The 64GB memory and Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 are praised for running large local models, including Qwen 3.6 35B and other 70B class setups, while gaming stays smooth even in recent titles and on lower power settings. Battery life can stretch through long flights with a 70W charger, and Linux support plus SSD upgrades have been reported as straightforward. The main tradeoffs are the 13.4 inch screen, open box uncertainty, and possible warranty reduction if the previous owner registered it.
Local LLM builders running 35B to 70B models, because 64GB lets them fit larger contexts and the machine handles local inference well.
Traveling power users who need a compact workstation, because it can last through a long flight and still drive gaming or desktop-class workloads.
Gamers who want a portable Windows machine for recent AAA titles, because recent releases run smoothly without throttling.
Linux tinkerers who want a small machine with easy storage upgrades, because Fedora runs without issues and the SSD is the only upgradable part.
Users relying on USB-C charging without mode switching, because some chargers can trigger repeated charge and discharge cycling.
Shoppers who need a full-size display for multitasking, because the 13.4-inch screen is the main drawback.
People expecting a full one-year warranty on an open-box unit, because prior registration can reduce coverage to about three months.
Image and video generation workflows, because the AI Max chip is described as too slow to be useful for those tasks.
