The gaming laptop I’m drooling over has no GPU (and it’s not a laptop)

The 2025 Asus ROG Flow Z13 is inexorably more powerful than any model that has come before it, and that’s with no dGPU.

AMD 's AMD Ryzen AI Max processor integrates a Radeon 8060S GPU consisting of 40 — yes, 40 ! — RDNA 3.5 GPU cores.

The chip feeds an impressive 128 GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at 8,000Hz .

The ROG Flow Z13 has a noticeable CPU processing advantage over AMD Strix Point , but it's likely less power efficient.

Initial reviews say the Z13 ’s battery life, in the very least, is quite good, lasting more than 10 hours .

Asus has incorporated a specially designed vapor chamber and air vents that direct air behind the touchscreen.
