The z13 is a testament to how far portable gaming devices have come, offering a unique combination of power and flexibility. Its minor shortcomings, such as the absence of Thunderbolt 5 and an OLED display, are overshadowed by its overall performance and design. I still wish they existed, but you can’t fit literally everything into a 13 inch device. And that’s being nit picky, the performance and efficiency of this device for an x86 device is pretty much unmatched.

Purchased lowest tier Z13 & happy with its performance for work and gaming! Was using gaming handheld (8.9" display w/ removable controllers) before for work travel but Z13 is much better with faster performance, longer battery life & larger display! Compatibility with BT audio is unfortunately hit/miss. No audio through Technics eah-az100 (even though it shows it's connected). Have seen others with similar problems with newer BT earbuds so hope this gets fixed ASAP. My older BT earbuds work ok but prefer using Technics for conf calls. Lack of accessories - would be nice to have a simple magnetic cover for folks who don't want to carry added keyboard weight but still want to protect screen - something similar to HP's old TC1000 flip cover (but magnetic). Otherwise, happy with the purchase.

This was by far the worst Asus item I have ever purchased. It was very laggy for games that supposedly ran "smooth" on this device.
