ASUS Republic of Gamers Philippines (ROG) launches its first 2-in-1 convertible ROG gaming laptop — the ROG Flow X13, and the ROG XG Mobile — an innovative ultraportable external GPU that augments the ROG Flow X13’s gaming performance and connectivity. With this special announcement, ROG nears the completion of the entire AMD Ryzen 5000 series for the year.
“ROG is truly proud to be the first to deliver the latest top-of-the-line gaming products that are powered by the newest AMD 5000 CPUs and NVIDIA 3000 GPUs. With the ROG Flow X13 and the ROG XG Mobile added to our strong portfolio, we take innovation and gaming to new heights as we cater to the needs of on-the-go gamers and content creators, who rely on the very best hardware for their daily routine,” according to ASUS Philippines Country Head George Su.
When ROG Flow X13 is paired with the behemoth graphical performance of the ROG XG Mobile, ROG sets itself to redefine what is possible with a 13″ gaming device — making it the most powerful 13″ ultraportable gaming notebook today. Through this powerful combination, ROG empowers its users with versatility and portability while providing desktop-class gaming performance and connectivity on demand.
The first of the ROG Flow X13s is slated to arrive by February end, with the later variants to follow in March 2021. The ROG XG Mobiles on the other hand will be available within the 2nd quarter of the year.
Up to an AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads provides the performance needed for demanding workloads. The Ryzen 5000 Series mobile processors feature the new Zen 3 architecture that is faster and more efficient to last you throughout the day.
The ROG Flow X13 incorporates a GeForce GTX 1650 GPU capable of hitting clock speeds up to 1255MHz at 35W in Turbo mode with ROG Boost, with the ability to draw an additional 5W via Dynamic Boost, enabling strong performance in the latest games.
Up to 32GB of memory provides smooth multitasking, the ROG Flow X13 uses LPDDR4X-4266 RAM, which consumes 50% less power and generates less heat than typical DDR4 memory. LPDDR4X memory also takes up 46% less surface area on the motherboard thanks to smaller chips and simplified traces, creating more room for the X13 to house a powerful CPU and GPU. A PCIe SSD provides high performance and up to 1TB of capacity, giving users ample storage space for games and professional portfolios.
The ROG Flow X13 has a slick convertible design with a 360° hinge that allows users to use different modes for different tasks. Standard laptop mode is optimal for serious gaming and multitasking while tablet mode makes it possible to swipe through content or draw and take handwritten notes with a compatible active stylus like the ASUS Active Pen. The touchscreen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, which resists scratches from everyday use. The 360° hinge also enables stand mode, which brings the display closer to the user, and tent mode, which minimizes the device’s footprint. These positions give the cooling fans more unobstructed access to airflow, lowering temperatures by up to 8°C.
The 13″ chassis is slim at only 15.8mm thickness and lightweight at only 1.3kg. A textured exterior with a wave-like design adds style while providing a secure, fingerprint-resistant grip for easy carrying. Integrated one-touch login also allows the ROG Flow X13 to log users in with a simple touch of a finger.
The long-lasting battery powers the ROG Flow X13 for up to 10 hours of video playback. Type-C charging support allows users to replenish the battery from portable power packs and third-party adapters, enabling more time away from wall sockets.
A 4K Ultra HD display provides a high pixel density well-suited to artistic work. Adaptive-Sync synchronizes the panel’s refresh rate with the GPU’s frame rate to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing. The ROG Flow X13 is also factory-calibrated to meet the PANTONE validation standard for color accuracy. It also has a taller 16:10 aspect ratio that provides more vertical space for games and creative workflows.
