Specs tell you one story, colorimeters another - which we'll get to later - though a side-by-side comparison against my daily driver, a 3:2 Microsoft Surface Laptop 2, shows the 4K+ Asus to be not quite as bright or punchy at the higher end of the scale. Adding to the lustre, both panels are calibrated at the factory for enhanced accuracy and offer decent degrees of colour coverage, all the way up to 85 per cent of DCI-P3, says Asus. Aiming as much for productivity types as gamers, Asus offers the 13.4in screen in either 3,840x2,400 60Hz or 1,920x1,200 120Hz IPS touch panels outfitted with adaptive-sync tech and protected by Gorilla Glass for basic scratch and scuff resistance.

For giggles, the higher specification Flow X13 connects to a bundled external GPU accommodating none other than a mobile GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. This chameleon-like laptop fits right into a true thin-and-light form factor, houses AMD's best-ever mobile CPU, crams in a discrete video card from Nvidia, and provisions for a fully-adjustable high-resolution touchscreen display enabling tablet mode. Say hello to the Asus ROG Flow X13.ĭon't let the staid looks fool you. Though AMD expects around 150 design wins this year, one of the most intriguing is already in for review today.
