ROG Flow X16: Gaming excels in every mode

ROG Flow X16 (GV601) comes with a 360-degree flip design, with touch support in tablet mode and stylus support for precise feedback and graphics — the perfect playing field for everyone who enjoys gaming, working, and entertaining in a laptop they desire. Gamers will benefit from the 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 laptop graphics, up to 2TB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD storage and up to 16GB DDR5 memory with two upgradeable SO DIMMs. Intelligent MUX switch ensures optimal frame rates tailored to individual requirements and longer battery life. The all-new Tri-Fan cools with Arc Flow fans, plus the use of a liquid metal thermal compound for the CPU and a dust filter ensures consistent performance and stability.

The Nebula HDR Mini LED display with up to 1024 individual dimming zones, QHD resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, up to 1100 nits brightness, and 16:10 aspect ratio ensures a powerful viewing experience. The display is Pantone validated, with 100 percent DCI-P3 color space and Dolby Vision HDR. At the same time, it has a thickness of 19.4 mm, and a weight of 2000 grams, which is particularly light and compact. ROG Flow X16 delivers up to 10 hours of battery life with fast charging. In addition, WiFi 6E enables ultra-fast data rates and greater stability. To maximize connectivity, there’s next-generation HDMI 2.1 and a USB4 Type-C port with Thunderbolt 4. Dolby Atmos audio with quad speakers and AI noise cancellation puts the user in the middle of the action – whether gaming or streaming.

The ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) detachable gaming powerhouse features up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 laptop GPU with G-SYNC and DDS 2.0 support — all in a 13-inch chassis that weighs 1.1 kg.

The touch screen is available as either a 120Hz or 4K HD display with Dolby Vision HDR. The Flow Z13 is particularly durable with its scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass DXC touchscreen and stays cool even at peak performance, thanks to a 2-in-1 form factor that maximizes airflow efficiency, a vapor chamber and liquid metal cooling that increases heat transfer capacity. Thanks to 0dB technology, the notebook not only stays cool even under full load, but it also stays quiet.
