Current gaming miniPCs are fairly powerful, small, and comparatively priced to consoles. You would lose the DIY and repairability of desktop PCs, but I doubt that is something Valve would prioritize. They'll just do what they are currently doing with the Steam Deck and sell spare parts.

I have a slightly older version of this laptop with a 6900HS and an RTX 3050. For the most part its cool how much they packed into such a small device, but at least on the model I own the keyboard is terrible. If I am going to do anything that requires extensive typing I basically put it in tent mod and pull out 60% low profile keyboard because keys don't register about 10% of the time unless I am really mashing the keys down. Hopefully they fixed that with these newer models.

I have the 5900hs and 3050ti variant and the only real complaints so far that I found are that the usb c port on the right cannot be used for charging (apparently only disabled on the german models), the touchscreen has some issues that make using drawing pens annoying as they tend to snap to the diagonal from the top right to bottom left... so that I can not easily draw a large circle without it getting steps in the line when crossing that diagonal, sometimes it has difficulties switching between modes and gpus when putting it into tablet mode and switching back quickly, requiring a restart to fix (and that I cannot easily upgrade to 32gb ram) otherwise... its a cute little ankle biter that can last rather long when doing low power tasks while also being able to scream and fight a bit when rendering or animating (or gaming) last thing that is a bit confusing to me is the power management between cpu/gpu when changing between silent/performance/turbo modes every few updates from asus seems to change the balance so that cpu usage is limited in silent while gpu is more powerful in silent than in turbo for some reason... (at least my noticed that in model)

hi, i have one ASUS ROG Flow X13 is a 2-in-1 with AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS, 16GB LPDDR4X, 512GB SSD, GeForce RTX 3050 4GB TI GDDR6. I have it from 2022 ( is the model from 2021 ) but is still a beast in 3D editing, gaming, etc. The battery is a little bit small and it's offer 2 hours on netflix, video playing or web browsing. I didn't find the need to buy the externel GPU that is connected to the laptop with the XG Mobile connector. It's vey light on the weight. The display is verry good.

Has that ThunkPad vibe to it on the outside and a Latitude build on the inside !

Netbooks are back, this time though they are very capable, Im all for it! (priced better) but its form factor is something I've missed since the original netbook from the late 00's early 10's

I love Asus, they're always trying new and interesting things.

Very nice laptop but also very pricey I've been looking for one with those exact specs... going to wait in no rush to upgrade

For $899, this is a steal. Only wish it took 2280 ssds and had at least one open ram slot

Thanks for this review. From my personal opinion, you could go with higher settings in cyberpunk, since the FPS, you had is more than enough to sacrifice for better visuals. Low preset looks like potato :)

i want to see what it looks like inside. is the RAM and SSD upgradable? how many SSD slots are there?

No need for graphics card? Must be a new revolutionary idea.

Would be great to check emulation and hard ones to run on this one!

we need more laptops like this, small, big battery cant understand why companies wont use the 7840u variant for amazing lightweight and power efficent notebook

i swear youtube can read my mind sometimes, i was just gonna look up this laptop

This is a perfect all around, on-the-go laptop for me. I do a lot of video editing, photo editing, digital illustration, graphic design, and probably some 3d rendering in the future. I'm a multimedia arts student and I play light games. Found a deal priced around 856 usd. I plan on purchasing this as my new laptop replacing my 2015 dell inspiron model.

please check emulation on this laptop! 🙏🙏🙏 I've been eyeing this one for a while now and I really want to use it for emulation and such. especially the more performance heavy titles in yuzu and ppsspp and much more! love your videos and keep it up 🎉🎉🎉

thank for this review,

Ryzen 9 7940HS and its iGPU is a blessing. I have a mini PC with it and this thing can game with no sweat. It's also an emulation beast from the NES to the PS3/Switch, it can handle every playable game. The Radeon 780M iGPU is basically a GTX 1060 but with modern technologies to make it even better. The temps are amazing too, 26/27ºC at idle. If AMD continues to invest in these types of iGPUs with very powerful CPUs, we definitely won't need dedicated graphics cards unless you're all about 4K60 - ultra settings.

One thing I noticed wasn't mentioned was fan noise? Since this doesnt have a dGPU, is it as quiet as something like the ally?

What is the fan noise like on the Turbo (60Watt?) mode? Is it bare able or does it sound like a micro jet engine? Personally I find the 13" form factor, and it being a convertable, to be a little bit too small. A 14" to 15" normal notebook with the same aspect ratio screen would've been the sweet spot think. That would also open up room for a second nvme and most importantly cooling that would fit a 2-fan cooling solution. This will help quite down a notebook and or make it able to run this apu at 80 Watt.

The price kills it if it were $800 I’d be more inclined to buy one but I really want to wait for the Strixpoint Halo APUs.

If your main purpose is only to game while plugged in, then the GV301 with the 3050ti will serve you better in the long run. If portability and productivity while not plugged in is important, the GV302 is the better choice. I've only had the GV302 for a few days, but I'm very impressed with it. I've only played one game on it for about an hour and a half so far, but the fact that I was playing Assassin's Creed Unity at 1200p high settings and in the 50fps range in just an iGPU was amazing to me.
