We're already big fans of the previous Asus ROG Flow X13, but 2023's X13 promises a sleeker form factor and upgraded internals — and it's already looking to be the most powerful 2-in-1 gaming laptop around. That's not all, as Asus also has an updated ROG Flow X16 and ROG Flow Z13 up it's sleeve, and they come with 13th Gen Intel CPUs and RTX 40 Series graphics. Asus also announced a new ROG XG Mobile, which can now handle the might of an RTX 4090 GPU with a maximum TGP of 175W. This can be used on any of the new ROG Flow gaming laptops, and it promises to boost gaming performance to a desktop-class experience. World-class keyboard Despite having a 13-inch chassis, the Flow X13 has been built with a keyboard layout more akin to those found on 15-inch laptops. This design allows for more room between each key, making every button press more natural for those used to larger keyboards. The Rog Flow X13 is an unusual PC, because it is very adaptable to a large field of situation. Whether you want to take it to a friend's house to play, or whether you leave the eGPU plugged into a secondary screen to come and plug in the 13-inch to play between two work sessions, it offers a rare adaptability in the world of Gaming PCs, often quite heavy and bulky.

The ingenuity of XG Mobile Interface, while its design is proprietary in nature, is a small sacrifice to pay for the immense performance you'll get with it."
