The Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet with 64GB RAM is down to $2,100

Almost all gaming laptops have gone up in price over the past year. Curiously, the surprisingly fast Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming laptop/tablet combo has not. It’s actually gotten quite a bit cheaper recently. Best Buy has the lowest price on the configuration that includes the AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 “Strix Halo” chipset, a whopping 64GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Originally $2,999.99, it’s down to $2,099.99. Amazon has a version with half the RAM selling for $100 less, but the 64GB model is, obviously, a far better deal.

Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025)

Asus’ latest gaming tablet opts for integrated graphics over a discrete GPU. That sounds like a downgrade, but its AMD Strix Halo APU gives it solid battery life and graphics performance on par with RTX 4060 laptops. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

The Flow Z13 isn’t for those who want 100-plus frames per second in every game running at the 13.4-inch tablet’s 1600p native resolution. Though, that’s not to say it doesn’t have chops. In Antonio’s review, he saw an average of 50 to 60 frames per second in even graphically-intensive games with low to medium settings. It can run Elden Ring’s high settings at around 50 frames per second at native resolution. Games that support FSR 3 and frame generation can go even higher. In a world where the Steam Deck OLED is a few hundred shy of $1,000, the portable (yet more powerful), stand-equipped Flow Z13 is a compelling alternative.

The novelty of the first Flow Z13 in 2022 was that it looked like a Surface tablet but could actually play games. The 2025 model looped into this deal actually delivers the gaming performance we were hoping for with the debut. Beyond gaming, its “Strix Halo” processor delivers incredible performance and battery life regardless of the task. While it can’t stack up to bulkier, pricier 16-inch gaming laptops like the Razer Blade 16 or Asus’ own Zephyrus G16 in GPU-focused tasks, it comes shockingly close considering its thin, take-anywhere form factor.

Some other great Verge-approved deals

  • Nintendo’s Switch 2 USB-C camera is a tough sell at its regular $54.99 price because its video quality isn’t great, and there just aren’t that many Switch 2 games that take unique advantage of it (and the pay-to-access GameChat feature hasn’t really taken off for most people). However, the accessory is much easier to justify buying for just $9.99 at GameStop. While it hasn’t been difficult to find affordable webcams compatible with the Switch 2 since its mid-2025 launch, Nintendo’s own model is nevertheless tempting because of its sleek stand, adjustable design, and physical privacy shutter.
  • Despite the unreasonably high costs associated with building PCs, I choose to believe that there are still some of you out there that are venturing to go down that path. No shade at all if you choose to build a cheaper DDR4-based system. There’s actually a good deal happening on the “new” AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor. The company re-released the 10-year-old processor in late June for $349, and it’s among the best models you can slide into a DDR4 / AM4 socket motherboard. Newegg is including a free MSI MAG Core 240mm liquid cooler (a $70 value) with the CPU to keep it cool. It’s one less component you have to worry about shelling out for.
  • One of my favorite cables ever is $15.99 at Amazon. The Anker 2-in-1 USB-C cable is a frequent star in our deals coverage, reappearing once every couple months. The price doesn’t wiggle much (it spent a few weeks costing $19.99), but I enjoy shouting about it whenever I get the chance. The braided six-foot cable can support up to 140W passthrough if you connect your gadget to a charger that supports the speed. Although, the main attraction is being able to charge two devices at once. The cable can divide the power coming from your charger as needed, giving more to a product that’s more demanding of power.

Nomad’s 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger and the Sonos One are down to their best prices

Nomad’s minimalist Base One Max 3-in-1 is on sale for $95. | Image: Nomad Fancy phone chargers are nice, but they’re often too expensive to justify the cost. Nomad’s Base One Max 3-in-1 is one of those rare unicorns that delivers a lot of value for your money, however, thus making it worth the splurge. After all, the device can simultaneously charge a MagSafe-compatible phone, your Apple Watch, and a pair of AirPods (or another Qi-compatible device) — that’s something not even Nomad’s forthcoming Qi2 charger can do. What’s even better is that Nomad is currently selling the hefty, MagSafe-certified charger in both black and silver for its Black Friday price of $95 ($55 off). Designed with metal and glass, Nomad’s minimalist slab will look slick on any desk or bedside table. It’s also powerful, delivering up to...

The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED, more or less fully unfolded.  | Photo by Monica Chin / The Verge Asus’ first foray into the world of folding-screen laptops, the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED, is now on sale for $3,499.99, the company has announced . Asus says the laptop is being sold in the US via B&H and Newegg though as of this writing only Newegg seems to have the laptop available for immediate shipping, with B&H listing it as “coming soon.” That aligns with the Q4 target date given to us when we reviewed the laptop in August . At $3,499.99, Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is eye-wateringly expensive, but my colleague Monica Chin points out that it’s the first such device that starts to deliver on the promise of this new form factor. You can either use the laptop with its 17.3-inch 2560 x 1920 screen fully unfolded and paired with a bluetooth keyboard... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/P4q7sej
