日本ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) – Top 5 Pros and Cons
Dominating the gaming world in tablet form – that’s a sentence we never thought we’d say. However, when you’re leading the field, you have to explore all new possibilities, including phones and tablets. ASUS has already tried the former, delivering a pretty good ROG Phone. Now it’s time to go bigger, which results in the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) – a 13-inch tablet that uses frighteningly fast processors, decent graphics, and high-resolution displays.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301).
ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301): Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301)
1. Design and build quality
The tablet has a revolutionary design, coming with a very industrial aluminum enclosure, that comes styled with some gaming touches, mainly hits of red here and there. There’s also a piece of glass that is part of the kickstand. It acts as a window, allowing you to see part of the motherboard. The front panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. All in all, this is a portable and powerful machine, which weighs only 1.12 kg and has a profile of 12 mm.
2. Display quality
The 13.4-inch display options are perfectly suitable for both gaming and content creation. The base configuration offers an FHD+ IPS panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, which has excellent viewing angles, a max brightness of 511 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen, 483 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of 12%. The contrast ratio of 1230:1 is pretty good as well. In terms of color reproduction, the panel covers 96% of the sRGB color gamut, while reaching very good accuracy with our Design and Gaming profile.
Here are the results of our test with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right). Our profile managed to lower the dE value to 1.2.
Buy our profiles
Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) configurations with 13.4″ Sharp LQ134N1JW54 (SHP154F) (FHD+, 1920 × 1200) IPS panel.

Poza tym, że otrzymujesz wydajne i przyjazne dla zdrowia profile, kupując produkty LaptopMedia wspierasz rozwój naszych laboratoriów, w których testujemy urządzenia, aby stworzyć jak najbardziej obiektywne recenzje.
Praca biurowa
Office Work powinien być używany głównie przez użytkowników, którzy spędzają większość czasu patrząc na fragmenty tekstu, tabele lub po prostu surfując. Profil ten ma na celu zapewnienie lepszej wyrazistości i jasności poprzez utrzymanie płaskiej krzywej gamma (2.20), natywnej temperatury barwowej i percepcyjnie wiernych kolorów.
Projektowanie i gry
Profil ten skierowany jest do projektantów, którzy zawodowo zajmują się kolorystyką, a także do gier i filmów. Design and Gaming wykorzystuje panele wyświetlaczy do granic ich możliwości, czyniąc je tak dokładnymi, jak to tylko możliwe w standardzie sRGB IEC61966-2-1 dla stron internetowych i HDTV, przy punkcie bieli D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminuje szkodliwą modulację szerokości impulsu (PWM) i redukuje negatywne niebieskie światło, które wpływa na nasze oczy i ciało. Ponieważ jest on dostosowany do każdego panelu, udaje mu się zachować percepcyjnie dokładne kolory. Health-Guard symuluje papier, dzięki czemu nacisk na oczy jest znacznie zredukowany.

3. Cooling
The laptop’s insides are very tough to access, so we wouldn’t advise you to try it on your own. In terms of cooling the laptop uses a vapor chamber with liquid metal, which means that the Core i9-12900H inside is set up for success.
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.
Average P-core frequency; Average E-core frequency; CPU temp.; Package Power
| Intel Core i9-12900H (45W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) | 3.54 GHz @ 2.68 GHz @ 64°C @ 95W | 3.04 GHz @ 2.48 GHz @ 70°C @ 83W | 2.45 GHz @ 2.07 GHz @ 67°C @ 50W |
The CPU doesn’t get hot at all, while the clock speeds do seem to plummet in the later stages, which is a little weird. Still, for a small tablet, we understand the decision from ASUS to downclock the CPU a bit, just in case.
Real-life gaming
| NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti | GPU frequency/ Core temp (after 2 min) | GPU frequency/ Core temp (after 30 min) | GPU frequency/ Core temp (Max fan) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) | 1299 MHz @ 62°C @ 40W | 1285 MHz @ 62°C @ 40W | – |
The RTX 3050 Ti that we have here has a small TGP of 40W, resulting in lower clock speeds and temperatures.
Comfort during full load
2 reasons NOT to buy the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301)
1. Upgradeability
As this is a tablet, good upgradeability is out of the window. You get soldered RAM and a single SSD slot hidden behind a cover on the back which comes off with a single screw. It has space for the tiniest 30mm SSDs.
2. I/O
The I/O on the device isn’t the largest, but it covers the basics. You have a single USB Type-A 2.0 port, two USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) ports, one of which has Thunderbolt 4 support, a MicroSD card reader, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a connector for the XG Mobile external graphics card.
