I rarely comment, but had to remark this is was the most useful laptop review I've seen. Excellent job, man.
Thank you so much for your acknowledgement and comment. I appreciate it. If you have any additional comments, inquiries or suggestions please let me know.
Incredible review, exactly what I was looking for! Keep up the great work :)
Thanks for watching and I will 👍🏾
Hello, great review sir. I would like ask about the battery performance. I'm planning to buy this 2022 version and don't need any graphic card. Is it possible to disable to graphic card to gain more battery life. For example, does XG mode help me? Finally, how would i get total battery performance( as hours), if i usual usage (light works). Greetings.
Just FYI - I have this model also purchased from Best Buy, and mine has a removable/upgradable Wi-Fi card. This is a change that was implemented in the 2022 refresh.
Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware of that since I did not open the system up yet. I was going off the reviews for the 2021 version.
@@BXbomber718 no problem! Great video and thanks for the helpful review!
I don't suppose this is true for the RAM and SSD too? lol
@@spinachpies unfortunately that’s a hard NO on the RAM. It will be a YES on the SSD once Micron’s 2 TB m2 2230 SSD comes out. But that will be very expensive and you’ll have to fight all the Steam Deck owners to the death in a cage match in order to get one.
@@jamies4381 thanks! But the SSD is removable? It's such a shame there is no sd card slot either.
Got myself the X16 with 6900HS, 32GB RAM and RTX 3060 for $1.4k and successfully enabled the USB4 for RTX A5000 eGPU.
I believe yours coud also have the USB4 enabled.
How is it after almost 2 year of use? Im interested in buying this and theres been alot of bad reviews
I have some questions and would be grateful if you could answer them , Does it make a lot of noise? Does it support good VMs? I am a student in Cybersecurity and some times we need to have 2 virtual machines on at the same time and I wanted to know if it works without any problem?
I am interested in getting this as a music production/live band playing. I usually use ableton/fl stuido with plug ins such as omnisphere/keyscape/kontakt. Is this a good one for that?
Nicely covered, but I saw everything 😂😂
d0pe! Keep it flowin ✌️
Thanks 🙌
Great review. I like how you covered a lot of real life use aspects of using this device. Battery life impressed me. Not sure it's the right laptop for me, but I really like many things about it. Photo edits is one of my interests so I just wish it had a better color gamut, and the screen size and resolution are maybe too small for my bad eyes. But I love the idea of such a compact form factor that can do some decent gaming.
Thank you for appreciating the video as well as your feedback!
Nice review, been watching your vids. I'm somewhat looking at laptops and considering the x13 and g14. I like the x13 alot. Do you know if it will handle outputting to 1440p and possibly 144hz?
Thanks for watching. I actually just posted a benchmark and final thoughts comparison video between the two today. Check it out when you get a moment. Yes the X13 can output 1440p @144hz on the USB Type-C port. However, will you actually be able to take advantage of AAA games at 1440p @144hz on a 3050Ti? No. Maybe games that are 5 years or older...possibly. If you're looking for more horsepower from the X13 then Asus does offer the XG mobile device (either the 3080 or 6850xt version) that attaches to it's PCIe port and will be able to do 1440pm @144hz no problem.
@@BXbomber718 thanks for the quick reply, I'll watch your new video! I don't do heavy gaming, ... Only like league of legends and marvel vs Capcom 3. I'm mostly a web browser and productivity right now. My current PC was built in 2016 lol . appreciate the help!
As someone who has the Rog flow 2022 (this version) and the rog xg mobile rtx 3080; I can indeed happily inform you that EVERY game that I have threw at this unit (many of which have been AAA open world demanding titles released within the last 12-24 months) ran well above 60-90fps at Ultra settings when the XG mobile and the rog flow were set in Armory Crate to either the "turbo" or the "manual" power setting (when choosing the manual option: power limit sliders must be set to maximum for the CPU/GPU along with a robust rpm for the cooling fans). *The one outlier/exception to the 60-90fps/ultra/1440p with the XG Mobile are games in which ray tracing is heavily utilized. In these situations, the performance penalty of enabling ray tracing at high or ultra settings can (in most cases) be remedied with Nvidia's DLSS in either "balanced" or "quality" mode in games that support it. Luckily to my knowledge, I have yet to come across a title that supported ray tracing without support for DLSS being present as well. DLSS is truly an INCREDIBLE technology; and I can tell you from utilizing it heavily on my desktop gaming pc that has an RTX 3090 GPU, played on the LG CX 65 inch OLED gaming television, at 4k/ultra settings that I truly cannot tell the difference between native 4k or DLSS at Quality AT ALL; and using "balanced" setting; AT MOST you lose 5 -10% fidelity when comparing to native 4k. **For this minimal degradation in clarity and quality, I have personally come across games in which the balanced DLSS preset DOUBLED my frame rate and Quality has improved it by up to 35%. I know this is a lot of information; but even if you elect NOT to get the XG mobile; I would definitely enable DLSS on the 3050ti gpu inside the laptop if the game you are playing supports it. If you do so and select the "performance" or "ultra performance" DLSS preset; 1440p resolution would not be out of reach for many titles at medium to high settings with one CRITICAL caveat; the RTX 3050ti only has 4gb of GPU memory on board.... this may not be sufficient for newer games when playing at 1440p; as a matter of fact some select newer AAA titles are unable to be played at 1080p/Ultra settings on a 6gb GPU; or must be played without the download and enable of high resolution texture packs. I hope this information is helpful to someone. I absolutely love the true marvel of engineering that Asus produced in making the Rog Flow x13; the fact that they were able to cram a Ryzen 9 6900hs and a Rtx 3050ti into a two in one that is nearly identical in weight to my Surface Pro 7 is staggering to say the least; and the fact that Asus took the initiative to develop and support an external graphics card option that is not only PORTABLE enough to be put in a backpack with the laptop; but is a huge "f**k you" to intel and the YEARS of anticompetitive practices in which they have engaged; including an outright refusal to grant AMD (or any laptop/desktop manufacturer using an AMD processor in their product) a license to utilize thunderbolt 3/4 technology that Intel developed and patented in cooperation with Apple. It has historically been the lack of being able to provide thunderbolt that left laptop brands like MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, and Alienware with little choice but to have very few (if any) AMD processor based gaming laptops in their lineups each year. Thanks largely to Asus taking a leap of faith (after being impressed at the significant performance improvement of Ryzen 4000 laptop processors compared to the Ryzen 3000 while also reaching nearly the same performance as Intel 9/10th generation H series I5/I7/I9 laptop cpus); consumer sentiment began to change when impressed tech tubers/streamers/ and reputable review sites began encouraging their viewers to consider AMD based laptops processors; while consumers on their own began to become aware that they could get processors with 50-100% more processing cores (useful when streaming/gaming/rendering/etc) with battery life that sometimes was almost double that of the comparable intel cpu based model; while STILL saving sometimes $300 to $500 or more. With all of these net positives, the lack of thunderbolt support while disappointing wasn't a deal breaker for nearly as many gamers, content creators, etc. With the Ryzen 5000 series processors even more staggering performance and battery life improvements; for the first time AMD witnessed wide adoption and embracing of their processors; and for good reason as they FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER they outperformed each and every comparable intel 11th generation processor.
Now with Asus developing the Rog Flow series (which now has TWO distinct model lines. The 2021 & 2022 rog flow x of 2 in 1 form factor laptops, and the new for 2022 rog flow z series; a tablet form factor with a detachable keyboard very similar in form and function as the Microsoft Surface Pro line; except the flow includes up to a i9-12900H CPU and up to the same Rtx 3050ti featured in the Z line) those who chose AMD have an external graphics card option that by the very way it was designed has almost DOUBLE the bandwidth of thunderbolt 4; all while having the benefit of the Asus ROG XG mobile RTX 3080 16gb being in a form factor that is portable enough to travel and pulls double duty as the power supply for either the Z or the X flow devices and as a docking station; with usb ports, hdmi, display port, ethernet, and sd card on board.
I wont say anymore, just get the damn thing! Either the Z or X are both amazing devices; and Asus has confirmed that they will indeed be producing follow-up XG mobile units with RTX 4000 series laptop GPUS within; which if initial testing is anywhere near the 2 to 2.5x performance the jump from RTX 2080 desktop and mobile gpu to the RTX 3080 variants.... we will see a staggering performance increase over the current XG mobile. This is a truly innovative solution to the fact that gaming laptops have the GPU and CPU chips soldered to the motherboard; with a reasonably performant I7 or Ryzen 7 laptop cpu meeting requirements for games easily for at least the next 3 to 5 years; the Rog XG mobile provides an upgrade path for the most important part of the laptop when gaming (or using it for intensive video rendering or machine learning tasks as well)
@@seattlephotoguy1980 wow thanks for sharing your thoughts, you're very knowledgeable. My goal is to have a thinner yet powerful laptop that can also do very light gaming if needed. For 1440p I was just hoping the x13 can output to that type of monitor at all since my current computer doesn't. Looks like the x13 could be the one for me!
@@Swamhe23 yep just use hdmi or USB c to display port (2nd option better for gsync support ;)
Would with this work for astro photography? And lost processing of images? I think i need alot of frames per second.. Great review, and thank you for responding to this.
Hey. Thanks for commenting yes it should however I would recommend getting the 2023 model with the Nvidia GeForce 4070.

Another thing is you can flip it put the keyboard on the table get and external keyboard and mouse and it lets the air not blow into the display and lets more air come into the bottom fans
Yes you can 👍
Thank you for the thorough review. If someone wants a hub with Ethernet, additional ports, etc., won't a generic third-party hub work (if you don't need the graphics card in the XG Mobile)?
Yes it sure will. Great suggestion. I have a USB hub but I don't need that many peripherals attached to this device to use it.
@@BXbomber718 Curious, did you consider the Z13? I am looking to replace a 6-year-old Surface Pro 7. With an i7-6650U with 2 cores, simply running Zoom and a browser creates temps of 140+F and 100% CPU load. (I am not a gamer but want something that can handle audio and video editing without causing it to shutdown from overheating within a 10 minutes.) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
@@SethGreenbergMusicthe x13 2022 has twice the battery life, I think it is better option
@@Hamox Also see that the Z13 doesn't go above 16GB RAM, whereas the X13 can.
@@SethGreenbergMusicI think you should get the x13 it is much better experience
Yo great review. Is it loud in terms of sitting in a classroom or library when just doing wrb browsing programming etc.??
Thanks for the comment. It depends on what you're doing on the laptop and what mode it's in. If you want to use it in a classroom to browse the web and program, go to Armoury Crate and choose the "Silent" profile and you will barely hear the fans. I hope that helps.
@@BXbomber718 Awesome, thanks. It is on sale in my area for about 1100usd think im going to get it.
Wow...that's a steal. Go for it. Make sure wherever you purchase it from has a return/refund policy in case it doesn't meet your standards. Enjoy!
up to 10-12 hours? thats impressive compared to last year version when it only last for 6-7 hours on many reviews on youtube. cant wait for this laptop to be available in my country. anyway do you think it capable to run sketchup and autocad on the igpu mode?
I think that's because of the amd cpu optimisation. Last year model used to pull 8w on light tasks, which totals to 7 hours of use. This year, it can use as low as 1w(but it uses 5w).
Thanks for watching. I haven't used sketchup or autocad myself but a friend of mine has another laptop with the same iGPU and told me it runs good. However, if you're looking for best performance for that, you should target a laptop with a 3060 at least.
@@BXbomber718 ah i see, thank you so much for the info man. love ur content, keep doing what u doing!
@@hidden4767 No problem. Thanks for watching as well as your support.
In terms of specs, there is no difference between the 2021 version & this 2022 version right?...I'm asking cause the 2021 had 2 variants, the GTX 1650 & the RTX 3050Ti but I noticed recently there are one's with just a basic RTX 3050 standard so that must be the new 2022 variant.
Well, there is the CPU upgrade... the 2022 has the Ryzen 6000 series which is a pretty big jump. Both CPU and integrated graphics are a lot more capable.
Just bought a 2022 version. The wifi is replaceable unlike the previous model. Too bad the stock one is a mediocre as best mediatek card so I replaced it with an Intel one.
Thank you for the great review. I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop this summer (gotta make use of that annual bonus!), and while my Razer Blade Advanced 2019 has made it through grad school and countless shifts (it did need to be repaired though, thank goodness for Razercare), I want something that is truly portable, but still has enough punch for gaming. I love my 15, but it's bulky enough to want to leave it at home, or it requires a backpack large enough that it starts to become a burden, especially with the chunky 230-watt power brick.
The Rog Flow X13 is coming down a lot in price, even the Z13, the Surface-Pro clone model is coming down, but I think the x13 has a lot more going for it so far as durability and usability. I like the fact that you technically can use the X13 as a tablet is a great middle option between having to choose from the 2-In-1 form factor of the Surface Style products and a clamshell laptop.
The X13 seems like a great alternative to the Razer Blade Stealth that Razer seems to have forsaken to pursue its 14-inch models, and the fact that I can use an Anker USB wall port to power it or use a slimline USB-C hub to add more ports and functionality while only adding a few ounces to my pack is a huge plus.
The kind of gaming I would do out and about is also far more lightweight, such as Fallout 76, or older games. If I want a brand new shiny game experience I would just use my Xbox X at home.
Hopefully, they still have these in stock by June of 2023, or better yet, I'd be willing to spend more money for a refreshed 2023 version, but I notice the price is consistently dropping on these as of October of 2022. I could use the money I would have spent on a Razer elsewhere, like a decent gaming monitor (though a new tattoo wouldn't be too bad either).
Further more carrying this damages the back plate so if you try to return it they will claim you opened it
May I know if you can try to modify those 4 hot keys on the top of the keyboard? When I go to AC -> Device -> System -> Customizable Hot Key. It shows Pre-requisite update, then take me to AC Update center with no more new updates. I've did clean setup of Win11, and carefully installed all drivers from ROG support page instead of using Windows update provided ones. I am not sure if still some drivers were missing on their page or there are something wrong with BIOS / Firmware to trigger changing these hot keys. Thanks
ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS G15 OR ASUS ROG FLOW X13 WHICH IS BETTER?
hows the noise level in SILENT mode? is it cpompletely silent while still having great performance for browsing on chrome?
Noise level is very minimal on silent because voltages are kept down and clock speed is restricted.
Why do you still need to put it in eco or silent mode to turn off dgpu ? Doesn’t the mux switch already disable the dgpu?
Hey Michael. Thank you for your comment. Silent mode does not automatically disable the dGPU. It simply downclocks it and limits the voltage. Eco mode completely disables the dGPU. Optimized mode disables the dGPU on battery but activates it when plugged in. The mux switch is a physical circuit that allows the dGPU to render directly to the display. When there is no mix switch, the dGPU does not have direct access to the monitor and instead has to pass off the render information to the iGPU that then displays it to the monitor. The latency due to this depletes some of the dGPU's performance. However if a computer did not have a mux switch you can still get the best performance by plugging the HDMI or Display port directly to an external monitor to remove the iGPU out of the equation. I hope this helps.
Thank you for taking the time to make this review. Can you please confirm what “therealomega 01” is saying about this 2022 version?? The claims he is making are serious and as one of many people watching this review to figure out if we are going to buy it, I need to know if that is true or not. Have you experienced ANY of what he is talking about with your unit? I think we are pretty similar in how we intend to use it, as an everyday ultraportable with dGPU turned off most of the time. I am a student and have been considering this laptop, while your review helped me a lot I need to know whether this guys issues are widespread or just user error! Thank you
Hey...thanks for your comment. I currently have not experienced any of what he mentioned in the unit I have. However, I did go through 3 units and 1 of them did get much more toasty than the other two. Granted, I did have a third party GaN charger powering it when the issue occurred. That could've been the issue. I don't know all the circumstances surrounding therealonega's unit. I use the laptop mostly as an ultra portable like you mentioned with dGPU off so I haven't experienced anything problematic yet. I have an upcoming video where I revisit the unit since I'm getting the XG mobile this week. Stay tuned for that update.
is it metal material or plastic? for the build. also would you still pick this over g14?
It's metal and yes I still would.
@@BXbomber718 oh thanks for the reply. The 6900hs 3050ti model is on sale at bestbuy for 1299 currently and i find it appealing. However this review from uftech on the 5900hs is holding me back... I wonder what are your thoughts on this? th-cam.com/video/NSt_uXqEba4/w-d-xo.html

@@mraljewari9381 No problem!
Can you straightly suggest me which one to buy in between X13 R7 6800HS and Zenbook S13 R7 6800U
What do you use your laptop for and what's your budget?
@@BXbomber718 Not for heavy usage, just for few documentation works and looking for decent battery backup. I don't have any limitations on budget.
Ok understood. Do you do any gaming, content creation or 3d modeling on the side?
The Asus ZenBook S13 has a 67wHr, the CPU is trimmed down and it has OLED so you will get better battery life with that. The X13 has a 61wHr battery but the 6800HS has a higher TDP and a brighter screen so it will have slightly less battery life. If this is merely a purchase for productivity only, then I suggest the ZenBook.
@@BXbomber718 Not used for any of the things you mentioned. Mainly I use this for office work and thanks for the elaborate reply. Even I am tilted towards S13, but after coming across X13 yesterday, totally got confused. So thought to ask you as I was impressed by your video.
you can change the ssd ? 😊
Yes, you can swap it out. It's the m.2 2230 form factor.
Hi, man. Love your review on this laptop, it's very useful for me. I'm interested in this laptop. May I ask a question? In my country, there's a Ryzen 7 6800HS version of this laptop with only an integrated GPU (at $1431). But there's also the Ryzen 9 5900HS version with the RTX3050 dGPU for an additional $116. Is the Ryzen 7 version enough? Would the Ryzen 9 version be more worth it for long term? I'm going to use the laptop for programming, running VM, video editing, and I don't do heavy gaming. Btw, thanks in advance!
Hey Antares. Thank you for watching as well as commenting. For what you listed the version with the 6800HS and iGPU (680M RDNA2) should be more than sufficient for your needs. It can also do some decent 1080p gaming. As long as you're not an avid AAA gamer who prefers maxed out visuals, you should be good. However, I will suggest that wherever you decide to get your laptop from offers a refund policy in case you are not satisfied with your initial purchase and want to try another one. I hope this helps.
@@BXbomber718 it helps! Thank you for the answer
Never heard about this laptop being sold with only integrated graphics.
@@user-pq4by2rq9y It's listed on ASUS's website but I haven't seen it at retail. From what I read you can in principle remove the NVidia GPU, it's socketed, or you can just disable it in software. I've seen deals at Best Buy for the system with an NVidia GPU at $999 for Black Friday/Christmas season so if price is the reason you might come out cheaply enough that you don't care about the discrete graphics being included :)
@@carnotantonioromero3024 I don’t mind myself, it’s just that I never heard about it... but on that note, I think we will see rog flows without discrete gpus next year since amd is working on apus with more powerful integrated graphics.
This is not the only asus laptop I've bought thisbhas happened to. But I thought after years they would have gotten better. Asus is actually a lieing corporation just like any other. They don't wanna fix becuase it's so expensive. Which means buying the warranty is useless.
What about screen ghosting is really horrible?
There is some slight ghosting but it's minimal and has not adversely affected my gaming experience.

Where can I get the 32gb model? They market a version on their website but I don’t see any seller having it
It’s not out yet unfortunately, meant to be out later this year
Good question. From my research it hasn't released yet. I would wait probably until the end of the month and check again. It may also only be available in specific markets. I don't the US is getting that version unfortunately.
Like others said, it doesn't appear to be out yet. BestBuy eventually got that model last year, but it was a good while after the 16gb one and they exclusively sell it bundled with the XG Mobile. I'm hoping they don't do that this year :/
I purchased this laptop and it fell apart and asus didnt keep the warranty nor did best buy. This laptop was sold as a lie saying all you needed was a 3080 graphics card but in reality it's a seprate unit just as expensive as the pc. They refuse to honor there agreement and now I can't stream my games and am totally screwed out of 1500 dollars. Total nightmare.. I was growing on twitch and making content and all that is gone now thanks to asus who claimed my laptop was opened but it never was and all the components are totally intact.
Wow. I'm so sorry to hear that. How did it fall apart? Do you have a video of what happened so others can be warned? For the record I haven't had any issues yet *knocks on wood*
@@BXbomber718 it took a good couple months for it to show up but basically it started not being able to load a few games and it quickly spiraled into many games not working to the point where eldin ring wouldn't run it properly and the adds wouldn't show up. The lap top it self started crashing the camera was super hazy becuase they havnt glued the screen on properly and it became super evident as I owned the laptop that they put it on wring as the screen would start coming off and stop working. It's actully quite ludicrous. The orst part is the lap top gets so hot that it starts to melt the paint on the back plat OR the back plate is so unsecured that holding the damn this actually voids the warranty. Upon sending it back they tried to claim I opened the laptop but THAT IS A TOTAL LIE and upon opening the laptop best buy admitted that it was never opened. Asus actully broke the laptop further and attempted to send it back to me. Asus knows this laptop is garbage and they are openly not fixing it. 😒 I am a streamer and have lost thousands on this and I ama disabled person with very little money. I needed this laptop to work. And it has been a total nightmare to watch all my streaming dreams go out the window. All my hopes and dreams shattered by one lieing company. This laptop takes a good several months to actully reveal how broken it is. Transporting it is a super bad idea and it totally removed all benfits of buying this laptop. I have lost everything and they have been super unhelpful. Asus knows what they are doing which is why it breaks right after the warranty. I'm not the only person to report this. This laptop actully sounds great on paper. In practice it falls apart
@@BXbomber718 I do in fact have the photos of the original advertisement that best buy quietly changed after months of lieing about it and I am appalled. I am watching this laptop fall apart and many channels that have reviewed it not actully really test this laptop to the selling points it promised and when it is tested it actually falls apart. But none of this can be tested fairly becuase it lasts up until it totally melts down. Without actually taking it into the turbo on armory crate (which btw came with a host of issues on its own. This laptop is not optimized properly on shipping and it has massive issues. I am actually collecting information to form a lawsuit at this point and even the people at best buy admitted what asus and best buy tried to pull was totally illegal. It's quite possible I got one of the broken versions of this laptop and it just was the perfect storm and it fell apart but I don't believe that's fair to punish me for a clearly broken product.
@@therealomega0127 I'm sorry about your experience. That's not fair to anyone. Please make a video documenting this issue on TH-cam so others can be aware. I hope Asus or Best Buy owns up to this so you can get compensation.

In terms of specs, there is no difference between the 2021 version & this 2022 version right?...I'm asking cause the 2021 had 2 variants, the GTX 1650 & the RTX 3050Ti but I noticed recently there are one's with just a basic RTX 3050 standard so that must be the new 2022 variant.
The new ones are with ryzen 6000 series. Basically same performance than the old ones but with better battery life thanks to the improved integrated graphics.
