For this week only, Best Buy is offering a major price drop on a compact convertible laptop that doubles as a gaming powerhouse.

The Asus Flow Z13 (in tablet mode) is only a pound heavier than the ROG Ally X20 handheld gaming PC, but offers more versatility and better gaming performance that rivals full-sized laptops.
Save $900 Off an 2.65-Pound Asus ROG Flow Z13 Gaming Laptop
Asus ROG Flow Z13 13.4″ 2.5K Touch-Screen AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Radeon 8060S) Gaming Laptop with 64GB RAM
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a 13.4″ 2-in-1 convertible laptop that weighs in at only 2.65 pounds in tablet mode. That’s about one pound heavier than the Xbox Ally X handheld, which weighs in at 1.6 pounds. A premium laptop deserves premium build quality, and the Flow Z13 doesn’t disappoint with a blacked out CNC aluminum alloy chassis and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus screen protection. The keyboard can be detached so that the Z13 can be used as a tablet.
This particular configuration is equipped with a 13.4″ 2560×1600 180Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 CPU with AMD Radeon 8060S iGPU, 64GB of LPDDR5X-8000Mhz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Radeon 8060S is a technological marvel of an iGPU. It’s far and away the most powerful integrated graphics solution on the market and nearly the same gaming performance as a discrete RTX 5060 mobile (faster than an RTX 4060 mobile). It’s considerably more powerful than the Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU found in the highest-end handheld gaming PCs like the ROG Xbox Ally X or Legion Go 2.
IGN’s Chris Coke reviewed this laptop and was extremely impressed at how well it ran even the most demanding games despite its diminutive size. Our test sample had 32GB of RAM and was priced at $2,300. You’re getting double the RAM for a lower price. Because the RAM is soldered onto the board, there’s no chance to upgrade the memory capacity. That’s why the 64GB of RAM preinstalled on this particular configuration is a welcome addition. RAM prices are still at an all-time high, so the fact that there’s a steep discount on such a loaded system makes this deal even better than it seems.
