Imagine a 17 inch version of this but the detachable keyboard can be used separately like standard keyboard and it comes with top of the line specs. You basically get a more portable machine but with a tad more flexibility.
This is incredibly awesome but you have to remember that a 3080 egpu alone will cost you (if you get scalped) the same if not more than higher tier laptops
Not if you go with Thunderbolt eGPU. At MSRP, a typical Enclosure ($150) + Desktop 3080 ($700) is $850. I managed to buy a used 3070 eGPU setup for a bargain of $500. My Lenovo Ideapad with TB port and 16GB of ram was $700 at the time of purchase. So the whole 3070 eGPU gaming setup for me cost approximately $1200 USD (with 20% Intel U-series CPU bottleneck), which is a LOT cheaper and more portable than a gaming laptop.
I am extremely impressed with the performance and efficiency of Intels i9-12900H, being able to fit a 14 core CPU into a tablet, and do amazingly well in CPU performance and gaming. I cant believe how far Intel has come in a year, from being behind AMD to crushing them with 12th gen.
Happy to see that there aren't AS MANY bots on your channel as there are on some other channels. Comment section is readable. Hopefully it stays that way 🤞
Man… the non upgradeable 16GB RAM is what turned me off big time 💔… I was looking forward to it because I thought there woukd be at least an onboard 32GB a’la X13 & use it as my portable 4K editing machine :(
I can understand you. It's really sad that laptop for this price haven't 32gb version. For my work i need 32 gb ram at least. I really want to buy it but i can't. I have to think about x13
Same here. So far, the Duo 16 seems like the 'only' gaming laptop with 1) Long Battery 2) HDR Screen 3) Good Hardware (keyboard, touchpad, speakers, etc)
As impressive as it is, I just was really burnt by how cumbersome using the XG mobile actually was in practice with the X13. Inconsistent activation, major issues if not properly unplugged, and the quality control was super inconsistent. Plus the limited storage and RAM is majorly annoying on this line as a whole. Just made me push for a more traditional setup, especially for the better price and performance.
Been dreaming about a gaming surface like device for a long time. Can't wait for EGPU comparison video. I do wish you would test it against a desktop 3070 so the fight would be more fair as laptop GPU tend match 1step down from the desktop But thanks for your hard work. For the price I'm disappointed that they dropped the screen resolution all the way down to 1920x1200 on all models (their website still list 4k on the highest model) but the GPUs couldn't make use of it in gaming and higher frame rate is probably more important than resolution at this size anyway. would have like to see 2560x1600 so you could potentially max out tablet screen when using the XGmobile. 1920x1200@40-60FPS with Ai assisted boost(DLSS and FSR) is acceptable as long as its on the 3050. Also wish the i7 model came with the ti and/or more savings. Right now on bestbuy the high end spec is listed @ $1899 and the mid range spec on newegg @ $1799. At the prices shown by newegg and best buy might as well get the better processor, better GPU, and bigger hard drive for only +$100. I honestly don't believe the low end model is actually going to be sold beyond he initial run if at all. your getting a current processor but to match the surface pro 8's i5 16gb ram spec Asus has to hit a $1400 MSRP. I would have like to see an elongated more liner pricing structure (900 1399 1699) for the respective tiers for the Z13. I would think the bump to the top tier would cost more than $100s Also what happened to the 32gb of ram and 4k screen from CES Asus? the current XGmobil doesn't and the the laptop 3080 ti runs at 1440P just above 60 even in "The Most Powereful Gaming Laptop of 2022?" video so there's no point real point but it would have helped justify the $1900 price tag even if it was just for content consumption. Dream spec is of course i9 32gb ram, 1TB, 3060ti , 4k for $1800 + xg mobie with a 3080ti for $1200. My ideal spec probably would have been an i7, 32gb ram, 1TB, 3060 built into the tablet, with a 2560 x 1600 screen. as I mentioned earlier the 4k screen isn't really necessary at this screen size and under powered GPUs
I hear the upcoming MS Surface laptop featuring a Ryzen 6850U is having thunderbolt support. Hope other Ryzen 6000 laptops also have thunderbolt integrated into the USB 4 protocol.
Not gonna happen man, unless it is USB4 getting Thunderbolt license, it will most likely only be on Intel's computers (think which company owns Thunderbolt)
I'd like to see those Ray Traced numbers, pump em up with DLSS... I am interested in 5120x1440p actually, but seeing 4K and 1440p, the in-between shall be enough to decide I believe.
no more talks about ryzen .I am going for this .Jarrod i have a humble request from you ,since you have made so many videos about msi ge76 (12th gen one) ,can you make a detailed guide about this laptop. you will get a content to for your second channel. :) Love your videos
Finally a reviewer who also includes the ROG flow X13 in the benchmarks. From what i can see its gonna be a ROG flow X13 "GV301QH-K6042T" for me between the 2
Just heard that CyberPunk 2077 got a new patch 1.5 where it addeed FSR (yay for your additional benchmarks for Radeons), changed DLSS version (ok), but also improved RT shadow lightning, tanking performance when RT is turned on (because of better shadows visuals). How you should care all of this? I genuinely ask, bc any future notebook review would be screwed by 10+ FPS w/ RT turned on, if compared with last year reviews, unless you redo everything (which I do know you can't, as laptops aren't in your hands anymore)
I noticed the update was available yesterday, but didn't know what it included. Thanks for the info, I'll have to think about what I do in terms of comparisons.
I must say, think a bit before buying RoG laptops, since they're not really cheap at all. I had mine since 2018 and I cleaned and changed the thermal paste regularly, but at the start of this year the laptops GPU fan went wild - it would vibrate so hard and you could feel it, even if no game was running. It was like it was catching on something from within the laptop. Once my replacement fans arrived, I disassembled the old ones - the maker of them (Forcecon, since they have the FCN sticker) had a flaw where after some time the piece of glued transparent plastic that goes over the circuits within the fan base would come off and hit the fanblades which produced the vibrations (and even broke the plastic things where the screws go).
Thanks for the video and upload I just found your page while looking into the z13. I was kind of expecting to also see some rough game play just to see some visual then the numbers just a thought for future reviews.
I'm looking forward to seeing the battery life on the tablet when playing games with the 3050ti. Since laptop battery life is pretty sad across the board for high-performance devices, the Flow Z13 could be a really strong competitor depending on the battery life. It's got the ultra-portability, a great design, and is able to transform into a desktop setup. Great battery life would be icing on the cake IMO.
If they keep using the desing form factor I can see this been impressively better with a future zen 4 cpu and a 40 series card (even with a 4050 or a 4060 will be amazingly powerful by itself), of course having an external 4080 as an option will make a lot of people buying that product.
This is the 2nd gen iteration of the flow. RTX4000 series desktop should be out around September, mobile variants should arrive by 1Q next year. The TDP needs to be higher, 40w isn't enough. Looks like a great little machine, but wouldn't use it for gaming but rather other tasks to be honest. Zen 4 should be out around September too for desktop, so mobile variants again should land by 1Q next year. The 3rd iteration of flow, should be more well rounded.
do you think they're gonna keep the same connectivity for the 40series external gpus? cause right now i'm in a search for a laptop and i wanted something that can be versatale both as a work station and a gaming machine,i just found out that there is the option of z13 with an upgradable external gpu and it seems like a dream..
Legion 7 is a better deal for gamers. For those who want a tablet with an external gpu, the Flow X13 with AMD igpu and without the 3050 would be cheaper and a have better battery/temps.
@@strider029 Pro 5 doesn't have a full powered RTX 3080. The Legion 7 with 3080 has a better performance. The benchmark was right in this video 😒 By the way, This Flow 13 + its eGPU cost even more than the Legion 7.
Hey Jarrod, great video like always! I wanted to know whether you will be reviewing the new Asus ROG X13 Flow 2022 edition? Honestly seems like a good all rounder suited for most people.
Very impressive I do hope AMD gets an AMD advantage build tablet from Asus with USB 4 thunderbolt might be really cool when and if it gets certified for thunderbolt
Sir can you do a serial review of the MSI Gf63 thin RTX 3050 version...if you do it ..it will be very helpful . I request you because I trust your reviews a lot
Hey Jarrod! just wanted to ask but will you be taking a look into MSI's GF66 2022 version with the new I7 12700H processor? I wanted to know if some of the issues from the previous iteration has been fixed or if it remains and if the 12th gen CPU will help at all. Great video by the way keep it up!
Which should I take I love gaming also a student want battery life too 1 asus gaming tuf A15 rtx 3050 2 asus zephyrus g14 gtx 1650 3 asus rog strix g15 rtx 3050 4 dell g15 rtx 3050 Which would you recommend
It may look like a funky product, but I need a mobile gaming solution and I need a tablet running Windows for work and meeting notes... I am just worried about the price tag, the previous eGpu from Asus was super expensive. So expensive that a good value 16' with a 3070 and a Surface Pro 8 was cheaper than the X13+eGPU.
I would be curious of a review or comparison in what can be done on the z13 bare bones without the GPU. Maybe getting that model and the mobile 3080 for heavier usage. But what kind of work could I do on the go with just the basic z13? I am looking to replace my MSI GE70 Apache Pro-012 17.3-Inch Laptop that I got in 2015. I have a Surface Pro already, but I like the idea of having something as portable as the z13 yet can be used as a main device when connected to the GPU and external monitor. I was originally looking at the Legion 5 pro (AMD). But I really don't know... I don't really play a lot of games. I play Minecraft with my family on our family server, but that is about it. My main usage besides the normal stuff like Excel, Word and One Note would be video and graphic editing. Also, OBS for livestreaming our church services to FB and YT. I also want to future proof my purchase (I have had this laptop for 7 years and I could probably inch out another year or two if I hadn't dropped it. Although it is getting very slow and bogs down with newer software) What to do, what to do....
Thanks for this. I know this one was gaming-focused, but i am keen to know if we can have Quicksync when using the XG Mobile (for Davinci etc.). Tried to get that from their website but no dice. Look forward to your full review and overall thoughts vs last-gen, the X13 and whether you feel it's still worth it in the 2022 market.
I’ve been using it for while now, it’s a great laptop. The Flow X13 just kind falls behind the other high end laptops in terms of performance because of its lower wattage chip, which is kind of expected because punches so much higher in terms of performance for its weight class. I suggest that you wait for a refresh of the Flow X13 if Asus were to release one next year. But if you for some reason need an 8 core convertible right now, try to find it for a lower price.
Hey Jarod, Love tour vids! I would love to see some more variety in the test games though. I think the third person open world awsome graphics genre is a bit overrepresented. Try to include some shooters that are semi-demanding to have a nice middle ground between the 60fps AAA games and the 200+ of CSGO. Maybe something like destiny 2, Apex legends, battlefield, CoD etc.
This really goes to show you can't please everyone lol. I asked for new games in a recent community post and added the top 2 requested games to this video. No one seems to care about new Battlefield, Apex is a huge pain to test, COD removed the area I test in and I haven't yet been bothered to work out how to benchmark it yet.
The 12900H is extremely fast as we've seen in his reviews. The only faster mobile CPU on the market is the 12900HK. Both of them beat M1 max compile times by a large margin.
is worth getting the 4k screen 60hzv? Most of the time ill be connected to 34" (WQHD 3440 x 1440) wide monitor so I want the image to look as good as possible. if I get 1080p will the resolution will get affected bc the resolution match the monitor screen? I am new to all this :)
From now on can you test Fortnite on your reviews like before? Because on low graphics it is a really CPU heavy game and it gets a massive fps boost by disabling optimus, and it is also a very popular game. This way we can see the improvements in 12th gen CPUs and (for these kinds of videos) the difference between optimus disabled 3050 ti vs an enabled 3080
I'm looking at this setup for a mobile photo editing/video editing and streaming while docked. Do you think this will run into issues? The only thing I'm hesitant about going this route because of the 16gb of ram. Did you try editing or anything like that on this?
@@JarrodsTech yeah I saw it. Thanks for the videos :) I'm still skeptical about the 16gb of ram cuz I've got an a7riv which is 61mp so editing photos eats ram
So, I've checked the listings and neither of them say anything about the 3080 eGPU being uncluded. Is that something I would need to purchase separately? I mean it seems kinda dumb to ask lol, but im curious.
I have Acer Helios 300 i7 3060, and i suck at CS GO, even my older Lenovo y510p had faster response/reaction time, what you call "System Latency" and it makes the fps games a bit slow. Can plugging external monitor help reduce "System Latency" ? Thanks
I have a question for you about the legion 5 laptop. i was wondering if it would be possible to swap the legion 5 4 zone rgb keyboard with the individually lit rgb keyboard from the legion 7. It would also require a software swap from the legion 7 to run the keyboard rgb, but overall would it be possible to do so?
Hey Jarrod, great video! Just got the i9 fhd version and the upper Thunderbolt port can’t be used for charging. I asked around on an unofficial z13/x13 discord server. Apparently other owners of i9 version have this issue too. The i7 version however doesn’t appear to have this issue. Can you please check it using the included charger?

High performance and high portability was always going to cost way more.
I'm not impressed either. All of that power is external. An extra item to carry and not a small one.

Hey, is there any rough estimate on when you might do a review on the 2022 Asus Tuf Dash15? I'd love to see it.
Asus Company is the mother of all laptop companies! Great review love your Videos!
Thanks!
Thanks for your info so now i will skip z13flow, and maybe take zephyrus g14 instead,
A battery test please!
its all good with new Intel chips but when are you getting the new AMD CPUs and GPUs ?
Which should I take
I love gaming also a student want battery life too
1 asus gaming tuf A15 rtx 3050
2 asus zephyrus g14 gtx 1650
3 asus rog strix g15 rtx 3050
4 dell g15 rtx 3050
Which would you recommend
I said this with the X13, make a 15" version and Id buy it!
It may look like a funky product, but I need a mobile gaming solution and I need a tablet running Windows for work and meeting notes... I am just worried about the price tag, the previous eGpu from Asus was super expensive. So expensive that a good value 16' with a 3070 and a Surface Pro 8 was cheaper than the X13+eGPU.
I was interested in seeing the power consumption and /or limits of the CPU.
any idea of temperature when stresstesting the cpu with and without xg mobile connected ?
I would be curious of a review or comparison in what can be done on the z13 bare bones without the GPU. Maybe getting that model and the mobile 3080 for heavier usage. But what kind of work could I do on the go with just the basic z13?
I am looking to replace my MSI GE70 Apache Pro-012 17.3-Inch Laptop that I got in 2015. I have a Surface Pro already, but I like the idea of having something as portable as the z13 yet can be used as a main device when connected to the GPU and external monitor. I was originally looking at the Legion 5 pro (AMD). But I really don't know...
I don't really play a lot of games. I play Minecraft with my family on our family server, but that is about it. My main usage besides the normal stuff like Excel, Word and One Note would be video and graphic editing. Also, OBS for livestreaming our church services to FB and YT.
I also want to future proof my purchase (I have had this laptop for 7 years and I could probably inch out another year or two if I hadn't dropped it. Although it is getting very slow and bogs down with newer software)
What to do, what to do....
Jarrod do you know when will the Asus tuf 2022 will be launched and what will its price be
Thanks for this. I know this one was gaming-focused, but i am keen to know if we can have Quicksync when using the XG Mobile (for Davinci etc.). Tried to get that from their website but no dice. Look forward to your full review and overall thoughts vs last-gen, the X13 and whether you feel it's still worth it in the 2022 market.
I’ve been using it for while now, it’s a great laptop. The Flow X13 just kind falls behind the other high end laptops in terms of performance because of its lower wattage chip, which is kind of expected because punches so much higher in terms of performance for its weight class. I suggest that you wait for a refresh of the Flow X13 if Asus were to release one next year. But if you for some reason need an 8 core convertible right now, try to find it for a lower price.
how does the response time affects gaming on this? I am talking about regular action RPGs and fighting games.
It's far better than any other 13" I've tested but not as good as other laptops as you can see in the results
Holy fuck that's way more promising than I anticipated 🤩🤩
what a time to be alive lol this is absolutely insane
Is this new camera or something? I see better video quality?
WHICH IS BETTER BETWEEN ROG SCAR17 3070TI AND MSI GE76 3070TI
Hey Jarrod, is comparing the Z13 with the XG Mobile to a TB4 eGPU still on your schedule? I'd be really interested in seeing a direct comparison.
It is, there have just been some technical issues with the egpu that we're sorting out.
@@JarrodsTech Thanks for the quick reply. Really looking forward to it.
When's the review of the 2022 SCAR 15 coming cause I want to see how Asus put the intel 12th gen chip to use in that chassis.
Me too
When Australia release it i think 🧐
@@honrr3488 but he has it tho, we saw it on the overall CES Asus review.
@@adityasinha8018 umm i think is Australia haven't selling it right now?
Have they announced pricing?
we need a zephyrus m16 2022 review
Hey Jarod, Love tour vids! I would love to see some more variety in the test games though. I think the third person open world awsome graphics genre is a bit overrepresented. Try to include some shooters that are semi-demanding to have a nice middle ground between the 60fps AAA games and the 200+ of CSGO.
Maybe something like destiny 2, Apex legends, battlefield, CoD etc.
This really goes to show you can't please everyone lol. I asked for new games in a recent community post and added the top 2 requested games to this video. No one seems to care about new Battlefield, Apex is a huge pain to test, COD removed the area I test in and I haven't yet been bothered to work out how to benchmark it yet.
so i can buy this with a 3050ti WITHOUT having to buy the egpu?
Im a bit torn about this machine, getting into blender i just cant see the 3050 practicle, if it were a 3060 ti at least then id say its pretty good.
Can i hook it up to the tv? And how well does it play cyberpunk at 4k if it does?
I wish there is a higher level cpu without dgpu option on this tablet, it is very appealing to programmers
The 12900H is extremely fast as we've seen in his reviews. The only faster mobile CPU on the market is the 12900HK. Both of them beat M1 max compile times by a large margin.
There is a version that doesn't have nvidia graphics that is targeted to people who already have the xg mobile.
Hey jarrod if the Gf66 you tested this year could be bought for 999$ would it be worth it?
Cant wait for the low spec amd version and use it as a tablet
When is the 2022 legion 5 review?
I want this to work on my 2021 G14. Is it still locked behind the flow only or have they expanded it's compatibility?
Whens the release already ?
is worth getting the 4k screen 60hzv? Most of the time ill be connected to 34" (WQHD 3440 x 1440) wide monitor so I want the image to look as good as possible. if I get 1080p will the resolution will get affected bc the resolution match the monitor screen? I am new to all this :)
im a little bit hurt when Jarrod said "potato grade hardware"😅
🥔
From now on can you test Fortnite on your reviews like before? Because on low graphics it is a really CPU heavy game and it gets a massive fps boost by disabling optimus, and it is also a very popular game. This way we can see the improvements in 12th gen CPUs and (for these kinds of videos) the difference between optimus disabled 3050 ti vs an enabled 3080
how good is cooling?
I'm looking at this setup for a mobile photo editing/video editing and streaming while docked. Do you think this will run into issues? The only thing I'm hesitant about going this route because of the 16gb of ram. Did you try editing or anything like that on this?
Full review came out last night if you're interested in more info: th-cam.com/video/_CMqQiKU-9Q/w-d-xo.html
@@JarrodsTech yeah I saw it. Thanks for the videos :) I'm still skeptical about the 16gb of ram cuz I've got an a7riv which is 61mp so editing photos eats ram
So, I've checked the listings and neither of them say anything about the 3080 eGPU being uncluded. Is that something I would need to purchase separately? I mean it seems kinda dumb to ask lol, but im curious.
You can buy them with and without the XG Mobile. If the listing doesn't mention the XG Mobile, it means it doesn't come with it.
I have Acer Helios 300 i7 3060, and i suck at CS GO, even my older Lenovo y510p had faster response/reaction time, what you call "System Latency" and it makes the fps games a bit slow.
Can plugging external monitor help reduce "System Latency" ?
Thanks
Great review, I was looking Forward to this one, I have one question. Can the laptop be connected to a monitor without the external gpu? thank you.
This will be discussed in the review, which should be up tonight.
@@JarrodsTech thank you for replying, I'll watch it later.
Hey, just found your channel and thinking about getting my first gaming laptop. What would you recommend?
Lenovo Legion 5
@@JarrodsTech I appreciate it man.
@@JarrodsTech please recommend the best 17.3" gaming laptop with top-notch thermals to date...budget is not an issue! Thanks
Main feature of tab is to be slim ,
....
If asus launches slim like s8 ultra then it will be great

I have a question for you about the legion 5 laptop. i was wondering if it would be possible to swap the legion 5 4 zone rgb keyboard with the individually lit rgb keyboard from the legion 7. It would also require a software swap from the legion 7 to run the keyboard rgb, but overall would it be possible to do so?
Hey Jarrod, great video! Just got the i9 fhd version and the upper Thunderbolt port can’t be used for charging. I asked around on an unofficial z13/x13 discord server. Apparently other owners of i9 version have this issue too. The i7 version however doesn’t appear to have this issue. Can you please check it using the included charger?
I can charge from both ports. It will be mentioned in the upcoming review.
It would be great to test the Alienware X17 R2 maxed out!
Simple question: is it worth buying a gaming laptop if Im not going to travel a lot
?
No 32gb ram ver ?
How do I cap FPS on a legion 5 pro to 60FPS for better battery? (Sorry for unrelated i'm posting this everywhere because I can't find it)
😥 I wish i could have a Lenovo legion 5, i always watch jarrod videos, but can't afford any of the items he reviews 😭
If I rip of my Legion 5 screen and glue it to the chassis... it becomes tablet... right ?...
