CES 2022: Asus launches ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet with eGPU support

Asus launched the ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet during its CES 2022 ROG launch event. The ROG Flow Z13 is a Windows tablet, like Microsoft’s Surface Pro, but packs an extremely powerful punch with its internals, and is meant for gaming.

The ROG Flow Z13 is powered by the latest 12th Gen Alder Lake Intel Core processors, configurable up to a Core i9-12900H. This can be paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 or RTX 3050 Ti GPU. The 13.4-inch tablet is available in 1080p 120Hz or 4K 60Hz screen options.

The ROG Flow Z13 also supports up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 1TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD. It has a 56Whr battery, and charges over a Type-C port. The tablet weighs just 1.1Kg, and is 12mm thick.

The ROG Flow Z13 comes with an included kickstand and detachable keyboard, for those who want to use it like a regular laptop. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, a Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, a 3.5mm audio jack, an HDMI port, and a microSD card reader.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 eGPU support

Although the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti in the ROG Flow Z13 is already decently powerful for gaming, those who want even more power can pair it with the ROG XG Mobile external graphics dock. The dock can house up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, or AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, for the ultimate in gaming performance.

The dock will also charge the ROG Flow Z13, and provide an additional four USB 3.2 Type-A ports, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, and DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 video output pairing.

Asus has not announced any pricing or availability details for the ROG Flow Z13 yet.
