Make Waves
Fast. Fluid. Flexible. Our first 13” gaming device embodies versatility, changing form freely on a slick 360° hinge. Step up to the Supernova Edition for an ultraviolet metal nameplate with iridescent shine. Textured lines across the chassis strengthen its structure and add grip for easy carrying. A low profile design slips easily into crowded bags, leaving more room for your favorite gaming gear.
FLEX YOUR POWER
Go small without sacrificing power. Even with an ultralight, compact chassis, the ROG Flow X13 speeds through tasks with cutting-edge processors up to an AMD Ryzen™ 9 5980HS in the Supernova Edition. Up to a discrete GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti GPU makes everyday play smooth and silky. Move more freely than ever and create, stream, and game wherever the mood strikes.
FASTER, FREER, AND MORE FLEXIBLE
The ROG XG Mobile reinvents external graphics by combining performance and versatility with true portability. Despite being 6% of the size of typical eGPUs, this device harnesses up to a GeForce RTX™ 3080 GPU clocked to 1810MHz at 150W with ROG Boost. Our exclusive interface avoids common bottlenecks and adds dedicated bandwidth for an integrated I/O hub. The built-in adapter powers the eGPU and laptop so you can travel light.

LOOK SHARP, PLAY SMOOTH
The ROG XG Mobile is the ultimate choice for flexible gaming and content creation. Long, flowing lines wrap around its chassis visually evoking the versatile ROG Flow X13. Textured grooves add grip for easy carrying, and mobile set-up is simple with the built-in stand. Precision cuts create a typographic cooling vent that illuminates the ROG name in a crimson glow.
LIGHT EVEN UNDER LOAD
Despite delivering heavyweight gaming performance, the ROG XG Mobile is the lightest and most compact external GPU in the world. It’s significantly smaller than competitors, at just 6% of the size of typical eGPUs built for desktop graphics cards. Weighing in at only 1kg, it’s portable enough to pack up and plug in just about everywhere. The integrated 280W adapter even lets you travel without a separate power brick.
AMP UP YOUR PLAY
Maximize performance with our exclusive interface. Its direct PCIe® 3.0 x8 connection to the CPU dedicates 63Gb/s of bandwidth just to the graphics processor, beating Thunderbolt™ by 57.5%*. A separate USB 3.2 Gen 2 link adds 10Gb/s for the I/O hub and prevents peripheral traffic from impeding graphics performance. Gaming is super smooth, especially when playing on the Flow’s integrated display, and accelerated work like 3D rendering and multimedia editing is fast and fluid. The 41cm cable gives you the flexibility to position the eGPU freely.
*Figures refer to the peak theoretical bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 x8 over (63Gb/s) standard Thunderbolt 4 (40Gb/s). Real world performance may vary.
BEAT THE HEAT
Advanced vapor chamber cooling keeps the ROG XG Mobile’s graphics strong. Our custom design increases contact area with the heatsink by 54% compared to a typical heatpipe layout, enabling faster thermal transfer and opening up more space for airflow. Combined with the XG Mobile’s space-saving standing design, this airflow-optimized cooling system enables more power in a super small form factor.
ADAPT TO ANYTHING
It’s not just an eGPU; it’s a fully-loaded I/O hub. Plug prime gaming accessories into 4 USB Type-A ports. Grab footage and photos fast with the SD reader. Massively expand your screen space across up to 4* displays with HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4. Get online via Gigabit Ethernet for low-latency multiplayer. And travel lighter with an integrated 280W adapter that powers the eGPU and laptop simultaneously. The XG Mobile takes a desktop-class experience wherever you go.
*Running 4 displays requires connecting 2 to the XG Mobile and 2 to the Flow X13.
GET READY TO FLIP
The 360° hinge opens up flexibility to follow your flow. Lift the lid for work and play. Switch to stand mode to share your screen or tent mode for tight quarters, and get improved cooling that lowers processor temperatures by up to 8°C*. Push the screen back to enjoy a touchscreen tablet with active stylus support for drawing and taking notes. Versatility like this makes the ROG Flow X13 a real revolution.
*Unless otherwise stated, figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations. *The XG Mobile must be connected to a power outlet to operate.
EXPAND YOUR VIEW
The Flow X13’s versatility extends to a choice of displays that tailors the experience for serious gaming or creativity. Go 4K and immerse in Ultra HD detail, or go 120Hz FHD for super-smooth gaming. Both edge-to-edge displays boast a taller aspect ratio with more space for toolbars and tabs. Touch and stylus support balance the visual experience with more intuitive input for entertainment and artistry.

Reveal Your True Colors
See in true color with a PANTONE® Validated display. Each IPS-level panel is factory calibrated to guarantee that every color you see is accurate to the globally recognized Pantone palette. Superior color accuracy allows artists, designers, and content creators to add to their portfolios and enjoy more immersive gaming all on the same machine.
Smooth as Glass
Experience gameplay that’s smoother and more immersive than ever. With Adaptive-Sync, the display’s refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing that can break your focus in-game and take you out of the moment.
MASSIVE COOLING ENABLES SMALLER SIZE
To unleash high-end performance in a 13” device, we fine-tuned every aspect of our cooling system. Our self-cleaning thermal module features flat heatpipes connected to more full-sized heatsinks and fan outlets than usual for such a small system, while liquid metal compound keeps the CPU operating at optimum temperatures. This comprehensive cooling enables stronger performance that lasts.
LIGHT AND LONG-LASTING
Go farther with the energy-efficient ROG Flow. With up to 10 hrs* of video playback, you can stay entertained and tackle to-dos anywhere. The included 100W Type-C charger is much smaller and lighter than standard gaming laptop adapters but still gets you up and running fast. Compatible USB-C power packs extend your time on the go, so you can stop searching for outlets and thrive in any off-the-wall scenario. *Battery tests conducted by ASUS on October 2020 using the default video playback scenario.

FULL KEYBOARD. MAX CONVENIENCE.
Type more comfortably on a 15” keyboard that stretches from edge to edge. We rethought the I/O port layout to fit a complete, desktop-style design in the 13” chassis. Each keycap is curved to cradle your fingertips, and separate hotkeys put vital functions within reach. The one-touch login button is easy to press in any mode, letting you sign on as intuitively as you unlock your phone.
CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND
Experience superior sound no matter where you go. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos puts you in the center of the action. Turn up the volume to enjoy louder, more dynamic audio. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation cleans up both input and output audio, making streams, chats, and recording clearer than ever. Filter out unwanted noise to ensure your creative vision comes across clearly.
TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION
Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology works with any input device and also with output audio, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. It also runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.

I don't like using it very much. It is the loudest laptop I have ever owned by far. In doing research it appears that the brand that used to be the best in the market at this a few years ago has fallen behind the competition.
Visually -10, Id rate this keyboard a 8 (if the mech cherry laptop keyboards are a 10). I kind of like the right side trackpad since I write with my right hand its better, also used a stylus for the small screen and trackpad, so thats something I miss. Gaming is amazing especially if you get them to overclock. Only technical complaint in retrospect is the screen. First of all the screen looks amazing, but its not 4k, even though it kind of looks 4k because of the mini led screen, its one of the best screens I have seen, but the resolution is not 4k, its 2560 x 1600 16:10
My only complaint about this laptop is that it seems so valuable that I would be afraid to take it places for fear the small screen would break or someone would want to steal.
It stayed cool no matter what and the special design seemed to increase its cooling ability.
*PS- If this had cherry mechanical keyboard and 4k screen this would be the best laptop on the planet.
Nice system but could use a few support improvements
Received my system, it looked beautiful. Only problem was there were four wires hanging loose from the chassis. There was NO manual or instructions as to where these four wires were to be ‘plugged in’. I contacted support and was told a manual would be sent. To date, still haven’t received anything. I was able to figure it out with some trial and error. Secondly, the small digital screen their website photo shows having diagnostic information from the PC….. that screen is useless. You can’t get anything on that screen in a format that is actually readable. I don’t know how they got that photo. Again… no instructions or answers from Xotic. System seems to work well, fast, nice graphics output to my theater projector.
I upgraded mine to max Ram and best graphics card. Runs great, no trouble playing Icarus at all max settings. Now it will run I bit warm without the settings to performance mode. Get a little air under it with that setting and it will taper off at around 68c. I’m glad I got it.
