ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302 Hands-on and First Impressions

ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()
ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is probably one of the coolest gaming products from ASUS. It combines both portability and power in one package. For the uninformed, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is the tablet variant of the Flow series and it comes with the latest AMD processor inside which makes it one of the most powerful tablets out there which is perfect for gaming.

ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 retains its portable form factor. The tablet comes with a magnetic keyboard cover and it does its job just fine however, it’s not as ideal as using a laptop form factor but of course, there’s the ROG Flow X13 for that one. The Flow Z13 is meant for people who want to game on a portable tablet. At the back, there’s the kickstand that is easy to adjust thanks to the notch at the side. This also means that the tablet isn’t ideal for airports or when using it on your lap.

ASUS ROG Flow Z13’s Keyboard

ASUS ROG Flow Z13’s Hinge

There’s a detachable keyboard on this tablet which is perfect if you just want to do gaming and just use a controller on the tablet which saves up more space for the tablet. As for the typing on the on keyboard, the keys are in the right size however, the feel of an elevated keyboard can definitely be felt which doesn’t give me the best typing experience. Nonetheless, it was better than the previous generation and I still find it comfortable to type on in the long run.

ASUS ROG Flow Z13’s ports

ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()

As for the ports, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 got most of the things that we need including a 2x USB-4 port with support for DisplayPort, 1x USB 3.2 Type-A, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x combo audio jack, and a 1x microSD card reader. This is actually a surprising amount of ports considering that this device is a tablet. They managed to fit in everything on this one.

ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()

When it comes to power, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor inside along with Radeon 8060s GPU inside. Surprisingly, this combination is extremely powerful for an ultra portable device. This even beats some of the dedicated graphic cards out there despite being an integrated graphics. 

ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()

This laptop actually has better performance compared to my other laptop that has an Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics inside it. We’ll get down to the performance of this tablet in our full review of this tablet. The battery efficiency is noticeably better than the previous generation as well. It might not be that long but it’s able to last longer than I expected.

Verdict

ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302 has fixed most of the issues that we encountered on the first generation. It now has a better battery life, a more powerful performance, more ports, and a better display. But of course, this still isn’t a perfect device as the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 GZ302 2025 still isn’t perfect for usage on the lap and the keyboard isn’t perfect on this one.

Nonetheless, I still love playing on this one as this tablet is extremely portable and I love playing on it especially with my Playstation 5 Controller. 

ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302 Price

ASUS ROG Flow Z GZ ()

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302 is available in Canada for CA$ 2,999. It comes with an AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 processor, 1TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD and a 32GB LPDDR5X RAM.

Fast and secure ASUS extendable routers give your network room to grow – 2025 Best WiFi Router Buying Guide

ASUS WiFi ()
ASUS WiFi ()

As wireless technology progresses and WiFi 7 devices are slowly becoming the norm, it’s slowly creeping up to mainstream devices such as the latest mobile phones, gaming consoles, and even ASUS and ROG motherboards and laptops. These devices are ready to take advantage of next-gen WiFi tech and people are looking to maximize these devices with the right network upgrade. For some, the speed boost and maximized throughput is a feature that stands out – now that ISPs are slowly rolling out Gigabit internet connections, but that’s only one of the benefits of upgrading to a WiFi 7 router. Another set of benefits are more reliable connections, low interference in the 6GHz band, and faster speeds through Multi-Link Operation (MLO).

The best way to upgrade your network

A single router in a house’s center often works fine, but once you add additional floors, concrete walls (commonly used in the Philippines), and outdoor areas into the mix, it’s often difficult to find a solution that can provide reliable wireless connections to all the spaces in the home. Repeaters or range extenders can probably address this problem but at the cost of performance and convenience.

ASUS WiFi ()

Instead, ASUS has the answer to your WiFi woes. We recommend creating an extendable mesh network with one or more ASUS extendable routers – regardless if it’s WiFi 6 or WiFi 7, an entry level router, or even a mesh router! In an extendable network, multiple units work together to create a single network. These ASUS routers communicate with each other wirelessly or through a backhaul which is basically a wired ethernet connection from the main ASUS router to the other nodes so that every part of the house has reliable and stable wireless connections.

If your network needs to be extended, just add ANY ASUS WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router into the mix! After setting up your mesh router network, the experience is completely seamless, reason being is that the extendable router network does not require manually switching networks as you move about your house or office. Another neat thing about this system is that units work in tandem to determine which node delivers the best signal to each connected device and will pass a device off seamlessly to each other without any user intervention. That adds up to a single WiFi network for your entire house.

ASUS WiFi ()

Worried about managing your home or office ASUS network? The ASUS Router app makes it easy! Setting up your ASUS extendable routers? Just use the app, scan the QR code at the bottom of your router, and that’s it! The ASUS router app also gives you easy tools to monitor traffic and optimize your network topology. It will also provide you with the guidance you need to get started and keep your network up and running, all with just a few taps on your smartphone.

Above and beyond AiMesh

The key feature that makes basically most modern ASUS router extendable is called AiMesh – this also sets us apart from other routers. This feature blankets your entire house in a single, consistent WiFi network. By itself, AiMesh support would be a common-sense choice for most users. But that’s far from all that you get with the ASUS extendable router solutions.

You’ll enjoy peace of mind with comprehensive subscription-free commercial-grade security through ASUS AiProtection Pro. It leverages updates from Trend Micro to automatically shield your home network by blocking malicious sites, detecting and isolating infected devices, and giving you easy tools to keep your data secure while you’re away from your home network.

If your household needs to control internet access to children, the app also has a rich suite of parental controls that gives options you need for protecting your family. Effortlessly monitor your kids’ online activities, set limitations on their screen time, and even customize settings for each connected device.

ASUS WiFi ()

PC, console, or phone gaming? No matter what platform you game on, you’ll appreciate the edge they get with an ASUS gaming router. Comprehensive game acceleration optimizes game traffic every step of the way, helping ensure that lag and latency don’t interfere with their online gaming sessions. For smartphone gamers, mobile game mode minimizes lag and latency for mobile gaming with just one tap in the ASUS router app.

ASUS WiFi ()

The latest ASUS WiFi 7 routers also has network segmentation and management. Through Smart Home Master, you can set up multiple SSIDs for your different types of devices. That means that you can have one network just for your kids’ devices — and have the WiFi connection for those devices automatically shut off at bedtime. Smart Home Master also allows you to put all your IoT and smart home devices on their own network for optimal performance and security.

ASUS WiFi ()

If you happen to use VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), Smart Home Master can configure an SSID just for instant VPN connections. Any time you want to connect a device through the VPN, simply switch to the VPN network.

Many ASUS extendable routers to choose from

Whether you’re looking for an extendable standalone router or a mesh WiFi system, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the ASUS lineup. And as highlighted above, regardless of which ASUS router you use, you can mix and match to create a cohesive and efficient wireless network in your home or office.

Here are some ASUS extendable routers that we think are great choices for most users in 2025: the ASUS RT-BE58U, ASUS RT-BE88U, ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16, and the ROG Rapture GT-BE98. We think that most people right now are best off selecting a WiFi 7 router, these selections range from entry to enthusiast-grade and have feature-rich options for getting onboard with WiFi 7. And ASUS is the only brand to provide easy compatibility with its standalone routers and mesh WiFi systems across WiFi generations. If you have an existing ASUS extendable router, you can integrate it into your mesh network alongside your new ZenWiFi unit.

Even though the RT-BE58U does not offer access to the 6GHz band it offers a welcome boost in bandwidth and connectivity over comparable last-gen options. It’s ready for your multi-gig internet connection with the dual 2.5G multi-gig Ethernet ports, and it’s equipped with a modern feature set including Smart Home Master and AiProtection Pro.

ASUS WiFi ()

If you’re interested in equipping your home with more simplistic styles— we can get you started right out of the gate with ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16. ASUS ZenWifi mesh routers can give you pre-linked extendable router units that streamline setting up an extendable mesh WiFi network.

ASUS WiFi ()

If you have a little more budget to play with, the RT-BE88U will future-proof your network with more advanced features. It unleashes the 6GHz band and all the latest WiFi 7 features that support it, like extra-wide 320MHz channels. AI-boosted Smart AiMesh intelligently leverages WiFi 7 Multi-Link Operation to optimize backhaul performance for supremely stable connections. And this router offers up to 34G of WAN and LAN capacity for extreme wired performance so that you’re ready for next-gen networking.

ASUS WiFi ()

If there’s a gamer in your household, consider the world’s first WiFi 7 Gaming Router, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98U or the more affordable WiFi 6 TUF Gaming AX6000. With bolstered bandwidth for both wired and wireless connections, ROG Rapture GT-BE98U makes sure that your network doesn’t miss a beat, even when multiple users are engaged in data-intensive tasks like online meetings, 4K streaming, and competitive gaming sessions. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98U should also be a very tempting choice for folks who currently use our ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro router. Since both offer multiple data streams for enhanced throughput, you’ll make efficient use of both routers’ resources in such a network.

ASUS WiFi ()

WiFi 6 routers are still very respectable choices. If you’d prefer to hold off on WiFi 7 for another year, but you need to upgrade your home network, you have plenty of options to pick from. If your bandwidth needs are modest and you live in a smaller home, don’t sleep on the very affordable ASUS RT-AX82U V2. The ASUS RT-AX82U V2 router assures you speeds with all the congestion-busting tech of WiFi 6 and a rich security and network feature set.

ASUS WiFi ()

Since ASUS has been integrating AiMesh into its routers for years, you have a wide range of ready and waiting options. Check its product page when upgrading to WiFi 7 to ensure you choose the right one from the start. If you already own one, see if you can repurpose your old ASUS extendable router as a strong node and make your extendable network more powerful. To learn more about our ASUS AiMesh, click here.

ASUS ROG Pelta Gaming Headset – A perfect gateway to the ROG ecosystem

ASUS ROG Pelta ()

Choosing the right gaming headset can be a challenging task, especially when you’re looking for compatibility across multiple devices with various connection options. With options between having a Gaming PC, handheld consoles, and even gaming phones, finding a headset that allows you to seamlessly switch between these platforms while delivering consistent performance is no easy feat. The ASUS ROG Pelta gaming headset stands out by offering versatile connectivity options and strong performance, making it a top contender for gamers who need reliable cross-platform compatibility.

ASUS ROG Pelta ()

Sound Quality

The ROG Pelta delivers immersive audio with its 50mm neodymium drivers, providing a solid bass, clear mids, and balanced highs that are perfect for gaming and multimedia. While it offers a powerful soundstage, the bass response can be a bit aggressive, making it ideal for action-packed gameplay. Comparing it with its contemporaries such as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P, the ROG Pelta will definitely appeal more to users who are looking for a beefier audio experience. Fortunately, if you’re looking for more customizability and flexibility, EQ settings for the headset can be adjusted through ASUS’ Armoury Crate software–crucial if you’re more into laid-back games that might warrant a more neutral and relaxing sound profile.

ASUS ROG Pelta ()

Design and Comfort

The ROG Pelta is undeniably bold, with its signature ROG RGB lighting and futuristic design that speaks to gamers who enjoy a more dynamic, flashy aesthetic. Its thick, plush ear cushions ensure a comfortable fit during long gaming sessions. While the design of the ROG Pelta can definitely turn heads when you’re using it outdoors, it sports a detachable boom mic that quite looks out of place anywhere other than your game room. We wished ASUS included some sort of cover for the mic jack though, or a recessed, extendable microphone since the headset will have its jack exposed when the boom mic isn’t attached.

Microphone design notwithstanding, the ROG Pelta’s microphone stands out from its competitors for its noise-canceling capabilities, ensuring clear communication even in noisy environments. Voice quality comes out still relatively clearly despite noise cancellation unlike other products touting similar noise cancellation functions.

ASUS ROG Pelta ()

Ergonomics and battery life

The ROG Pelta is a testament to ASUS’ long-standing user-friendly design language–all controls for the headset can be found on the left earcup, with enough space even for fat fingers to control microphone mute and switch between Bluetooth or 2.4GHz RF connectivity. A volume wheel is also on hand for quick volume adjustments in case a scene on your favorite game starts to get too overwhelming.

The ROG Pelta also ticks the boxes in terms of battery life–from full charge, it survived more than a week of daily game nights lasting upwards of 3 hours, and would definitely last longer with both RGB and microphone turned off; plenty long enough for a gaming headset that almost weighs nothing on the head.

ASUS ROG Pelta ()

Verdict

If you’re looking for a gaming headset with a bold design, deep bass, and solid performance across multiple devices, the ASUS ROG Pelta is an excellent choice. Retailing at around the PHP 6,000 price mark, the ROG Pelta’s feature-packed offering is definitely worth the slight ROG premium over its competition.

Apple has just announced that the Worldwide Developers Conference will be taking place this June 9 at the Apple Park in California.

WWDC

Typically, Apple has been announcing the next generation of their software for their hardware including the iOS, iPadOS, macOS, WatchOS, tvOS, and of course, the latest one, the visionOS.

Looking at the invite, it gives us a clue that we can see more translucency and more “glass” effect on the UI similar to the one on the visionOS. (Also hello Windows Vista Aero!). And of course, we can expect more software features coming in to their devices as well.

Google has recently unveiled their latest affordable smartphone for consumers and it’s the Google Pixel 9a. Make no mistake because despite being the most affordable smartphone in the Pixel 9 lineup, the Pixel 9a still comes with a Tensor G4 processor and an aluminum frame to make it look more premium. Another good thing about it? It’s the pixel smartphone with the biggest battery inside it!

The Pixel 9a features a 5100mAh of battery inside, the biggest inside a Pixel smartphone right now. While for the processing, it comes with a Tensor G4 processor, the same one that can be found on the Pixel 9 smartphones. Next to that is the 48MP main camera of the smartphone and surprisingly, there’s no protruding camera here just a flat camera the back which loses the “visor” style of camera module.

The Pixel 9a also features an IP68 Water and dust resistance making it tough as well. The Pixel 9a comes in Peony, Iris, Porcelain and Obsidian colorways. It starts at CA$ 679 for the 128GB variant but it will also come with a 256GB variant in the future.
