Asus just pulled a Razer with its insane ROG Flow X13 2-in-1 Ultrabook and super-slim ROG XG Mobile external GPU

[Redaktion]

Asus is throwing all of its craziest ideas onto its latest 13-inch convertible laptop including liquid metal cooling, an AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS CPU, vapor chamber external graphics, proprietary PCIe x8 connector, and a 16:10 120 Hz Gorilla Glass touchscreen.

It costs $2999.99.

How much are 2.9 lb in barrel/inch²?

Good idea, but the price is touch to sell. I'd be happy enough with a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme/XPS 15" with ThinkPad-like keyboard and AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS + RTX 3060 combo

Just use your stimulus money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Half sized arrow keys on a gaming laptop, what a great idea! xD

No 32GB or more RAM options... just why?!

Looks promising.
The question is performance and battery life.
And price.
Linus said in the LTT video it would cost as much a Zephyrus G14 for both the laptop and the eGPU.
The question is wich G14?

LTT said that it has Gen 4 8x, not gen 3. Also hoping that it has hdmi 2.1 for better TV compatibility.

Will STILL be bottlenecked, then forgotten

Asus specifications say it is Gen 3 x8, not Gen 4 x8.

Soldered 16 gigs of RAM - thank you, I'm going to shop for something else.

hope it has Wacom EMR

hope it has Wacom EMR

Or AES, or just any kind of active pen support.

Why? What's the point of a crap digitizer with tons of jitter and stabilization like the XPS13 2N1's?

I agree, twice the usual bandwidth means twice that of a 1070 would fall beyond the point of diminishing returns, which would be around a mobile 3070, so a mobile 3060 would be the highest it could support while causing little performance degradation.

"If you want the most powerful Ultrabook money can buy, then the Razer Blade Stealth is pretty much the only option"

Surface Book 13? 14" Clevo NV41? MSI 14"? Lenovo Yoga 15? You guys reviewed these laptops, not me.
