ASUS ROG Flow X13 - ultra-thin laptop with RTX 30 series external GPU - Android

The ASUS ROG Flow X13 is essentially a gaming machine trapped in a traditional, ultra-sleek laptop body. Unlike most gaming laptops, this one has a Lenovo Yoga-like build that’s only 0.6-inch thin, weighs 2.9lbs, and has a 360-degree hinge.

ASUS managed to make the profile thinner thanks to its latest accessory, the ASUS XG Mobile, an external GPU that can support up to an NVIDIA RTX 3080 GPU. It connects to the main machine via a dedicated GPU.

The ROG XG Mobile 2021 boasts ROG’s signature for-gamers look, has RGB lights, dedicated cooling, a power port, and provides tons of extra ports such as 1x HDMI 2.0, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x RJ-45 input, 4x USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, and an SD card reader.

On its own, the ROG Flow X13 is actually a pretty robust laptop. It comes with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU, GeForce GTX 1650 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD. You can check the full specs list below.
