The Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet, equipped with a 64 GB RAM configuration, is now listed at $2,099.99, down from its original $2,999.99 price tag.
Deal details and hardware specs
Best Buy currently offers the model that combines the AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 “Strix Halo” chipset, a 1 TB solid‑state drive and a 13.4‑inch 2.5K 180 Hz touch screen. The same configuration debuted in 2022, and the 2025 refresh retains the core components while benefiting from the recent price cut.
The device’s standout feature is its 64 GB of RAM, a capacity that far exceeds typical gaming tablets and places it between ultra‑portable devices and full‑size laptops. Competing listings on Amazon show a version with 32 GB of RAM for $100 less, but the higher‑memory model remains the better value for users who need extra headroom for demanding titles.

Performance in real‑world testing
In a recent review, the Flow Z13 delivered average frame rates of 50 to 60 fps in graphically intensive games when set to low or medium graphics presets. Titles such as Elden Ring ran at roughly 50 fps at the tablet’s native 1600p resolution. Games that support AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) and frame generation can push performance higher, though the unit does not consistently reach the 100 fps ceiling that high‑end laptops target.
The “Strix Halo” processor also promises solid battery life across a range of tasks, from gaming to content creation. While it cannot match the raw GPU power of larger 16‑inch machines like the Razer Blade 16 or Asus’s own Zephyrus G16, the tablet comes close considering its thin, convertible form factor.
Most gaming laptops have risen in cost over the past year, making this price drop stand out as a rare instance of a high‑performance device becoming more affordable.
The 2025 iteration seems to have ironed out many early limitations, delivering a balance of power and convenience that aligns with early adopters’ expectations.

How it fits into the current portable gaming market
With the Steam Deck OLED priced just under $1,000, the Flow Z13 offers a more powerful alternative that still fits in a backpack.
Potential buyers should note that the 13.4‑inch screen caps its resolution at 1600p, which may limit those seeking ultra‑high‑definition visuals. However, for most gamers, the combination of a high refresh rate and the ability to toggle between tablet and laptop modes provides a compelling user experience.
Overall, the current discount positions the Asus ROG Flow Z13 as one of the few premium gaming tablets available at a sub‑$2,200 price point, making it a noteworthy option for consumers weighing performance against portability.
