There are not many high-end tablets available in the market and the options are quite limited when it comes to gaming. To fill the gap, ASUS has announced what seems like the most powerful gaming tablet — ASUS ROG Flow Z13.
The tablet has been announced at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 and comes with a powerful set of specifications, on par with a high-end laptop. It is basically a high-end gaming laptop in a thin form factor.
The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 features a 13.4-inch 4K 60Hz display and the company is also giving users a choice for a Full HD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Both the touchscreen options support 16:10 aspect ratio, Dolby Vision, and MPP 2.0-compatible styluses. Further, the displays are protected by Gorilla Glass and are validated for color accuracy by Pantone.
Under the hood, the device comes powered by the Intel Core i9-12900H 45W processor, coupled with NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti 40W graphics processor. For memory, it comes with DDR5 RAM and PCIe 4.0 storage.
It has one Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort 1.4 for video output and up to 100W PD charging, and another USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port that can handle video and PD charging. There’s also a third USB-C port that can handle video and PD charging, but it isn’t confirmed if it utilizes integrated or dedicated graphics.
Along with that, the device also has an eGPU port, one USB-A 2.0 port, a UHS-II class microSD card reader, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a headphone jack. As for the software, the device is running the Windows operating system.
The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is expected to be available for purchase in the first half of this year and the company has not yet announced pricing details.
