"Rog Flow Z13" has been announced as a new product of the ASUS gaming PC brand "ROG (Republic of Gamers)" series.The feature of this unit is 13.Although it is a tablet PC equipped with a 4 -inch display, it is a clear Windows PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 3050 TI as a discrete GPU. [See another image about this article] In the same "Rog Flow" series as this unit, "Rog Flow X13" was released last February. This is also a lightweight thin, lightweight, a discrete GPU, but a 2in1 style with 360 -degree rotating hinges. On the other hand, "Rog Flow Z13" is a tablet PC that can be separated from the keyboard and is a similar product. At first, I imagined that it was a tablet PC from 2in1 and that it would have been more smaller. However, the impression after actually trying is completely different. It is a product that has evolved in a different dimension, indicating one solution to the exhaust heat treatment attached to a mobile gaming PC. ■ There are several models in the ROG FLOW Z13, a luxurious configuration that cannot be pulled out to high -performance PCs such as the latest Core i9. The specifications of the trial machine borrowed this time are as follows. The CPU is a 6-P core+8-E core with 20 threads Core i9-12900H, and the GPU is a GeForce RTX 3050 TI. The CPU is up -to -date and powerful, and the GPU is an entry -class, which is compatible with real -time ray tracing. In addition, the main memory is 16GB of DDR5, the storage is M..2 NVME connection 1TB SSD and high -spec notebook PC are a luxurious configuration.CPUs are also Core i7-12700, Core i5-12500H, M.2 SSDs are equipped with 512GB.The display is 13.It is a 4 -type touch panel of 16:10 WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200 dots).The refresh rate is 120Hz, and it is particular about the quality of 500 cd/square M, 100%SRGB, Pantone authentication, and Dolby Vision.The surface adopts Gorilla Glass 5.The display is a separate model, with a refresh rate of 60Hz at 16:10 (3,840 x 2,400 dots).A thin keyboard that can be removed and can be covered by the liquid crystal part is also included.This is thick 5.It is 6mm and the weight is about 340g..1mm, weighs about 1.It is 52kg.This is still small and lightweight as a gaming notebook PC.Charging corresponds to 100W input of USB PD, Thunderbolt 4 and USB 3.1 can be charged from either Type-C.An AC adapter for 100W output is also included.Gaming PCs have a lot of power consumption, but the power consumption that can be covered by charging with USB PD that can be diverted with other devices is also the attraction of this unit.Equipped with Rog XG Mobile interface, ASUS's own GPU box "XG Mobile" can be used.This time, we borrow "Rog XG Mobile GC31" equipped with GeForce RTX 3080 along with this unit, so I will add it to the verification described below.This requires a separate power connection, and the power consumption of the graphics is up to 150W.In addition, 100W power is possible to the PC."Rog XG Mobile GC31" is compatible devices and PCI-Express 3.Connected at 0x8 and speeding up graphics, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, DisplayPort, USB 3.Each port of 0 × 4 is available.The price is 188,800 yen at the ASUS Store.In addition, you can also see mechanisms unique to tablet PCs, such as 799 million pixels and volume buttons on the back.When viewed as a general tablet PC that is not for gaming, 13.1 with 4 type.18kg is quite large, but it has not been abandoned as a tablet PC. ■ The high degree of perfection as a tablet PC will also glow and look at the actual machine. The housing with CNC aluminum has a high density and solid texture, almost not dented. The display that adopts GORILLA GLASS 5 is integrated, so you can not feel the dust in the housing at all. The overall color is unified with matte black, but there are many designs on the back. There is a transparent window where a part of the board can be seen, and it is a one -point that shines with LED lighting. In addition, it is designed like a futuristic and playful "ROG" series, such as drawing numbers in the slit of cooling fans. The display is a touch PC because it is a tablet PC. The surface is glass, so it is glossy, but the reflection of lighting and other lights are quite dim and reduced. The picture frame is also quite narrow, and the display area is extremely wide when viewed as a tablet terminal. The viewing angle is wide, the color is vivid, and the brightness is 100%too dazzling. The screen is automatically rotated according to the inclination of the main unit. Thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate, the scrolling is smooth. The response speed is unknown because there is no spec data, but the scrolling of the text does not feel any bleeding, and it seems that there is a response speed as a gaming display. A stand to be opened and closed is built on the back of the main unit. The opening and closing angle is about 160 degrees, and the installation angle of the display can be set almost freely. It stops at your favorite angle and has a sense of stability. ■ The keyboard around the fully interface is a thin keyboard that can be removed. It is an isolation type and has a thin but firm click feeling. Stroke is nominally 1.5mm. It also supports N key roll over, and is safe to use in games. There are only a few basses at the time of typing, and there is no particular concern even if you input a key that tends to be strong in game play. The key arrangement is orthodox, and it is a convenient keyboard with little dissatisfaction. Equipped with a keyboard backlight, you can customize the way of glowing with the LED on the back. A touchpad is also installed at the bottom of the keyboard. Touch panels can be used together, so they can be used in your favorite style. The power button is on the upper right side of the main unit, and the power button is also a fingerprint sensor for Windows Hello. The accuracy of the sensor is extremely high, and it can be almost certainly authenticated simply by lightly touching the set finger (the right person's finger is easy to use). There is also a volume button under the power button. It is unusual for a PC, but it is a useful position when it comes to a tablet PC. The terminals have USB Type-A and headset terminals on the right side, and Thunderbolt 4 and Rog XG Mobile interface on the left side. The Rog XG Mobile interface contains a USB Type-C terminal, and can be used as an independent USB Type-C terminal when not using Rog XG Mobile. It is convenient to use the charging terminal here and use Thunderbolt 4 to connect other devices. This is the only terminal, and it is quite small when viewed as a notebook PC. However, you can output video with Thunderbolt 4, and I don't think there is any problem with general use. There is also a microSDXC slot on the back of the back stand. Although it is a unique position where it is somewhat difficult to put on and take off, it can be used to exchange data. The speaker is one stereo configuration on the left and right of the lower part of the main unit. The sound quality is very clear, and each sound sounds outstanding. It is certain that the bass is not out of the size, but the natural hearing of the middle and high notes is outstanding, so it seems like you can use it for a little music appreciation. ASUS gaming PCs also have a high sound quality, and this unit is very high quality without leaking. The microphone is equipped with a 3D array microphone on the left and right of the front camera. You can use the software customization or the AI noise canceling function. In particular, AI noise canceling supports not only input but also for output, and is useful at Web conferences. Stylus pen can be used as an external device. By using "ASUS PEN SA201H", it can support 4,096 levels of pen pressure sensation, and can be used not only for handwritten notes but also for creative uses such as design. Also Bluetooth 5 on Windows PC.Since 2 is also installed, various game pads can be connected. ■ It is a dual fan and silent when idle. An excellent heat treatment that was realized only because it is a tablet, and the most notable point of this unit is the exhaust treatment. It is an easy -to -understand airflow from two fans on the left and right of the back, as intake and upper exhaust. In idols, the rotation of the fan is almost stopped and is close to silence. If you put a light load, the fans will turn around, but you can see that it is barely turned around, and if it is about office use, it is unlikely that you will be worried about noise. When the load is high in games, the number of rotations of the fan rises, but even if you raise it to the maximum, you can hear a little white noise sound, and the noise level is quite low. It is the quietest class compared to a general gaming notebook PC, and if the sound of the game comes out, it is hardly bothered. According to the data of the dedicated application "Armoury Crate", the fan speed is up to 6,500 rpm in the "Turbo" mode, and the noise level is about 35 dBA. The cooling system itself is designed to be well exhausted in a thin tablet PC housing by liquid metal grease, vapor chamber, and arcflow fans. Even small and thin housings have a special cooling system. Up to this point, the evaluation of the cooling mechanism as a general PC, but there are dramatic changes when viewed as a gaming PC. Gaming PCs are challenging for high -load exhaust treatment, and if the heat is not removed well, the area around the keyboard gets hot and hinders game play. However, the more high -performance CPUs and GPUs, the more fever they are, and the more small the housing, the more difficult it is to treat them. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to balance high performance and comfortable gameplay environment on mobile gaming PCs. However, in the case of this unit, the heat conduction to the keyboard side is not necessary to consider the heat sources on the display side. The heat escapes from the top, so the user does not care. There is a disadvantage that the exhaust sound of the exhaust from the top is easy to hear from the top, but this unit does not care much because the noise itself is small. In other words, thanks to a tablet PC with heat sources such as CPU and GPU on the display side, the problem of heat conduction to the keyboard has been solved easily and perfectly. Instead, heat conduction to the display is generated, so when used as a tablet PC, the heat in the main unit or the display is concerned. However, it does not matter as long as it is used in a laptop style with a keyboard and mouse. It is a strange phenomenon in which a mobile gaming environment that gives the best play feeling can be realized by making the gaming PC into the form of a tablet PC. This is not a simple story, "I just need to make it a tablet PC." In the first place, 1.It is difficult to insert high -performance parts, including discrete GPUs, into a small and lightweight housing of 18kg.It can be said that the high design power of ASUS is the result of fruiting this product.The AC adapter is a 100W USB PD as mentioned above.There is an adapter part that is thicker than the body with a keyboard and a thick cable that connects, so it is not an image that it can be easily charged with a USB PD connection.The only benefit is that other USB PD compatible devices can be charged, but if you combine it with a tablet PC, I want you to be a little better.■ Realizes a comfortable game environment with full HD.The mode switching according to the application continues to be important, and the performance is checked on the actual machine.The ones used for the benchmark test are as follows.・ PCMark 10 V2.1.2532 ・ 3DMark V2.22.7336 / VRMARK V1.3.2020 ・ Phantasy Star ONLINE 2 New Genesis Character Creator / Final Fantasy XIV: Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition benchmark / Cinebench R23 ・ CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 This machine can set the operation mode with the dedicated software "Armoury Crate".The standard is "Performance", and there are three types of "Turbo" and "Silent", and manual settings are also provided.This time, "PCMark 10 v2" in the three preset operation mode.1.Tests are performed only for 2532.The battery duration was automatically switched to "silent" when not charging, so I tested it in this setting.In addition, the test when the Rog XG Mobile GC31 was connected was greatly affected by the performance of graphics, so game benchmark testing was conducted.Looking at the detailed data of "PCMark 10", the maximum temperature of the running CPU was around 90 ° C for "performance", while "Turbo" was around 80 degrees and around 60 degrees for "silent".rice field."Turbo" maintains high performance by increasing the speed of the fan and improving the cooling performance, and in "Silent" lower the number of fans and the CPU clock has a maximum of 4 CPU clocks..The fever itself is reduced to about 3GHz.Looking at the CPU performance on top of that, the single sled has a very high performance as a desktop PC.On the other hand, in multi -thread, 2 threads 4.Falled to about 4GHz, 2 with maximum thread.It falls to about 7GHz. In situations where higher multi -threaded processing is needed, I want to remember that the cooling performance will be improved by setting the operation mode to "Turbo" and the performance can be improved. For graphics performance, it is a last minute line where the standard operation is expected with the highest image quality of "Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis Character Creator". With the WUXGA resolution of this unit, there will be many games that can be played normally. However, if you want to take advantage of the high refresh rate of 120Hz, you may need to reduce the image quality to some extent. In addition, "Port Royal" of "3DMark" can be executed safely, and it can be confirmed that real -time ray tracing is available as a GPU of the GeForce RTX series. However, the performance is low, average about 5fps. It is better not to think that real -time ray tracing can be moved satisfactorily with the latest AAA title. The battery duration is about 4 and a half hours for office use and about 1 hour for gaming. The performance is reduced because it is a "silent" setting, but if you carry it with office use, it can handle both processing and battery. It is better to think about games on the premise of using it in a charging state. The storage used the Micron SSD "2450" series. PCI Express 4.It is a model for 0 compatible mainstream, with a sequential lead of about 3.4GB/s.M.2 The slot can be accessed from the back of the stand on the back of the main unit, removing the screws and checking the real thing..2 2230 type was adopted. It seems that it will be able to respond to future exchanges. The actual game test was to measure the frame rate of one battle royal in "Fortnite" and the "Apex Legends" tutorial lap. The resolution is 1,920 x 1,200 dots, the same as the display, and the image quality is the highest setting. However, only the texture streaming assignment of "APEX LEGENDS" was reduced by two steps to match the VRAM -mounted capacity of this unit to "high (VRAM: 4GB)". Again, we conducted a test of "Rog XG Mobile GC31". All image quality settings are the best. "Fortnite" exceeds 50fps on average. I felt a slight decrease in frame rate in a scene with many people, but there was no feeling that the frame rate was dropped so much that it impaired the play feeling. By adjusting the image quality, it is still possible to earn a frame rate. In "APEX LEGENDS", a fairly high frame rate was confirmed, with an average of nearly 90fps on average, and a lower 99%of less than 60 fps. Because this is a tablet PC, it can be said that it is a fine performance. When using "Rog XG Mobile GC31", "Fortnite" maintained almost 60 fps or more, and "APEX Legends" exceeded 100fps stably. We have demonstrated the performance that can take advantage of the high refresh rate of this unit. ■ Open a new page of a mobile gaming PC. The ostensing point of this unit is that a gaming PC equipped with GeForce RTX 3050 TI has entered the tablet PC housing. The idea of turning the gaming PC into a tablet PC is hard to do, and it is a bit questionable how many games you want to play with high -performance Windows tablet PC touch operations. A long time ago, it may have been useful as a "ship tablet", but this unit is truly over -spec. Of course, the use of this unit is not tied to the game. The scene that can use graphics performance that exceeds the CPU built -in graphics as a Windows tablet PC may be in business. I feel that the use is surprisingly possible in combination with the touch panel. Nevertheless, I think that the biggest attraction of this unit is as a mobile gaming PC. In a mobile gaming PC, which requires high performance and miniaturization, it is like a Columbus egg, in which the exhaust heat, which was a trading off, can be solved by separating the keyboard in the form of a tablet PC. For those who want to play the game with a reasonable performance on the go, etc., it can be asserted that there is no other PC that is so useful. However, it is not easy to perform from here. When the housing is huge, the charm of a mobile gaming PC fades. Even if it is released from the heat treatment problem, it cannot be escaped in terms of combining high performance and miniaturization. Still, I really think that this unit opened a new page of a mobile gaming PC, not exaggeration. I hope that there will be a future where gaming tablet PCs will be released one after another from other companies as well as ASUS, and I hope that the unexpected charms of this unit will be transmitted to more people.
