ASUS ROG Flow X13 (2023) review: Beautiful 1.3kg Gaming Laptop 

What do you think is the best 2 in one laptop for an artist

I think this is no longer the case with the 2023 models, Surely the 4050 (the poverty spec version) is fine for gaming? without any eGPU Just use DLSS and turn down settings a bit. I mean the 4050 is a lot faster than a 1660.

what is emr tech? is it error correctin memory etc

@@krkrbbr late reply, but if you ever used a Cintiq, its the same technology, the ideal drawing experience. Apple Pencil similar as well

@@martymcintosh5026 thanks

I'll try to borrow one for review if there's a review unit. I've reviewed the Zenbook Pro 16X OLED from 2022 and that's one of the top 3 laptops from ASUS. So chances are this 14-inch model is gonna be a top 3 for 2023.

heyy did you buy the laptop yet? I have the same requirements as you, i wanna game and do digital art too

I tried to order it in Ireland but orderd got cancelled and I was refunded. I was devistated, I thought I found my perfect partner. They won't see that model in Ireland I can only get the 4060 version which costs 260 pounds more. So I am now considering the Yoga Pro 9i 14 with 13905H and 4060 for same price as what the 4050 version was costing with student discount. It's 300-350g heaiver though and I don't know if i wanna carry that but it is slghlty lighter/cheaper/unibody (like mac) and bigger screen than the G14 which I can also get.. Basically the 4050 and igpu versions of flow are UNOBTAINIUM in Ireland (and US I'm told too).

It's from Lululook, see my text review here www.parkablogs.com/content/review-lululook-rotating-laptop-stand

The 7945HX (16 core) is gonna be noticeably more powerful than the 7940HS (8 core) in this laptop. But that will also drain more battery obviously.

@@teohontech7141 is there a fingerprint scanner on the power button ?

They removed it

@@teohontech7141 Ok, I see. Thanks for your reply!

I did not experience that problem with this model

Depends on what kind of arts. The pen drawing performance is not as good compared to pen tablets or iPads

@@teohontech7141 How does it feels in comparison to the drawing experience that surface pro 9 provide, also I am keen on 2D a bit cartoony art style

@@Perndoe Surface Pro's pen will have slightly better pen performance, and it's a tablet with form factor that's better for drawing.

@@teohontech7141 Thanks for the swift response. You deserve a subscribe for :D

No it is not. For less than that you can get a g14 with a 4070 which will outperform the 6850m, without having to have a big external gpu and it's almost as thin. As for the touch, maybe you could also get the x13 with a 4070 for that price too.

Logitech Lift

No, you have to buy the version with RTX 4070 and 32GB RAM already soldered. Its not upgradable, so with the 16GB RAM Version you would have to stickto 16GB

Surface Pen writes slightly better

@@teohontech7141 Thank you for answering!

No

Yep

Ok so go to settings and search for “lid” and set the laptop to “do nothing” when the lid is closed

You also don’t want to close these laptops for docking because they take air in through the keyboard.

1 Lakhs 20 thousand

I was able to get 6+ hours battery life with display at maximum brightness, at 9 hours at 50% brightness. Battery life is decent for office type work.

It could be. But if it's sluggish because of battery power, then that's also no ideal.

@@teohontech7141 welp that's architecture issue, neither cpu nor gpu is efficient enough to perform well on battery

if not for x13's avg battery life i would have considered upgrading to the 2022 model as it is on sale in India for 83k. My IdeaPad 5 gives me 8-10hrs of solid battery backup no matter what i throw at it so i don't wanna downgrade much 😅.

Yes

Are you sure that the 2023 model is missing the fingerprint unlocking? I think it still might have one. It's just that most people don't realise it's there since it's on the side and rather hard to notice. Did your 2021 model have one? Thanks

@@FuzzyGuard Absolutely it does have and that's the reason I've told I'll miss it, look at the power button in the new one, it's illuminated, so definitely no sensor.

@@RRD97 Ok, thanks for replying.. Yeah I think that the fingerprint sensor is way better than Windows Hello. That's a bad news that they removed it :(

@@FuzzyGuard Also, I miss volume rockers in these as I previously owned an HP X360 which had and that's actually very helpful in tent or tablet mode.

Use SuperDisplay app

@@teohontech7141 okay I'll try thank you

It should be selling already

That would be nice but do keep in mind it's primarily a gaming machine.

They will probably update the X16

What? 2400 for 4070 32 gb version in Eu.

​@@4ernuy89 depends, where I live it's also 2900 for 4070 and 2000/2200 for 4050 and 2500 for 4060 inflation is really fun🤦🏼‍♂️

$2499 at Best buy going stick to X13 FHD it's on sale from $1400 to $900

about 4 grand

2 734 $ for nvidia 4050 model in my country!

@@escapefromreality3518 that's terrible

I thought it would be around 1500 dollars since the 2022 version is going for 1k on amazon

You can find benchmark numbers from benchmark website. I only care about workflow. Nowadays most computers are powerful. If it lags, it would be an instant deal breaker because there are so many options out there.
