The ASUS ROG 12th Gen Intel Gaming laptop lineup in the Philippines has something for everyone. There are options for those that want something unusual, something that’s totally specc’d out, and those with a tighter budget.

The lineup includes the ROG Flow Z13, Strix Scar, Zephyrus M16, Tuf Dash F15, and TUF Gaming F15/F17. Here’s what you’re getting depending on your machine of choice.

ROG Flow Z13

You can think of the ROG Flow line as their experimental line. Here, ROG is exploring new form factors for gamers constantly out and about. Following the Flow X13 is the Z13 — a gaming tablet/2-in-1 unlike any other.

The Flow Z13 packs a lot of power in a frame that’s just 12mm thick and weighing only 1.1kg. It takes direct inspiration from the ROG Mothership that houses its components behind the screen.

It’s a powerful gaming tablet with Windows 11, up to a 14-core Intel Core i9-12900H, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptopGPU, and 5200MHz LPDDR5 memory. That’s plenty of gaming power for something in an ultra thin and light chassis.

The ROG Flow Z13 can be played multiple ways. From traditional mouse (using the included screen cover keyboard) to touch input or gamepads.

For extra gaming horsepower and I/O expansion, the Flow Z13 and X13 are both compatible with the XG Mobile family of external GPUs.
