- Hello world! Welcome to my first unboxing and review video. Today we're looking at the Asus ROG Flow X13 (2023) with integrated Radeon 780m graphics, 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, and 512GB SSD. I think this laptop, especially when on sale, is a much better and more portable device for gaming than the Legion Go, ROG Ally, or Steam Deck.
I'm just starting out this video making adventure of mine, so please give me a like and subscribe if you enjoy this video! Also leave me some feedback in the comments below, would love to hear your thoughts on how to improve.
Thanks for watching!
I bought an exact model as yours last month. At first I was looking for an Intel Core Ultra 7H laptop but when I came across this one, it was an immediate buy.
And still, here I am looking at unboxing and reviews to convince me that what I bought is as good as, if not better, than Core Ultra 7H laptops out there at the same price.
Haha I feel you man, I do the same thing - I have good news for you though! You made a great purchase that should keep you happy for several years to come :) I know I'm happy with mine!
Nice review! I bought it a few days ago from eBay, open box, shipping to LATAM (I'm from Chile ✌). Still waiting for its arrival. I'm, super nervous but these kinds of videos and reviews reaffirm my decision. Thanks Sam!
Hey! Glad you enjoyed the video! You've got nothing to be nervous about, it's a great machine and super capable! Just be aware of its limitations, but you'll love using this laptop.
Update?
Half off holy shit nice 😭😭
I know right?! I've seen that deal pop up again a couple times since I purchased this on Best Buy too... Seems to happen every other month or so.
Kicking myself for not getting this when it was on sale lol
Instead I got a crappy HP Pavilion Plus 14. It has that same 780m, but it performs nowhere near as well as this does.
Ah man, I'm sorry to hear that! Well I have a hunch it will be back on sale again sometime this summer to make room for the next batch of 2024 laptops. Wish you luck on picking one up!
Thank youuuu
Thank you! Let me know if there's any other devices you'd like to see reviewed!
nice review
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
Great review!! exactly the model im planning to buy, how is it holding up now? Was the performance still sufficient and battery long lasting or do you feel any inconvenient adjusting to a 13in screen? especially while gaming.
Still running great! Performance has been solid, recently have been playing the new Elden Ring DLC and at 1080p low settings, getting a pretty solid 40-50fps with all performance modes turned to max. More than playable and the game still looks great to my eyes!
Battery is amazing, especially when not gaming but just using it like a normal laptop. 6-8 hours normal usage, 1.5-2 hours when heavy gaming, so I usually keep it plugged in for max performance.
The 13 inch screen has been great to me, knowing that I wanted a small device. I wasn't wanting the ultimate viewing experience, but rather something that is bigger than a steam deck or rog ally but still small enough to travel with and use on a plane or in a hotel. The overall packaging (size, weight) for me is ideal for a device like this that I want to use on the go or in the living room or outside.
So still a 10/10 from me! Just know what you're getting, be reasonable in your expectations and what this laptop does best, and you'll be a happy camper. Best of luck finding a good deal!
Does GTA 5 work with this?
Planning to buy 1
Yes
Yes! Runs great at 1080p medium and pretty well at 1080p high settings.
When will Asus Rog flow X 13 (2024) will be released
Hard to say for sure, but my guess is it will come out sometime this fall/early winter once all the new hardware from intel, AMD, and nvidia is out on the market. Typically new devices launch alongside the new hardware releases.
is the stylus included in the box btw?
Hey there! The stylus was not included in the box - I believe the stylus was only included in the boxes of review samples that went out when this version of the laptop launched. The retail version does not include the stylus or other accessories like the bag/case that some other reviewers have shown.
