The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 GZ301 is one of the most unusual gaming PCs ever built — a full Windows gaming laptop in a tablet form factor, with a kickstand, detachable RGB keyboard, and a signature transparent window on the rear panel that shows the internal PCB glowing beneath it. It ships across two generations that share the same chassis codename. The first generation (chassis codes GZ301ZA / GZ301ZC / GZ301ZE) was released in February 2022 with 12th Gen Intel "Alder Lake" processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series graphics. The refreshed second generation (chassis codes GZ301VF / GZ301VU / GZ301VV / GZ301VI) arrived in April 2023 with 13th Gen Intel "Raptor Lake" processors, RTX 40-series graphics running at significantly higher power, and an upgraded QHD+ Nebula display option. Because your exact processor, graphics card, memory, storage, and display combination directly determines its final resale price, select your components using our tool above to view an instant cash offer for your exact device, or start from our ASUS ROG trade-in page.

Which Flow Z13 do you have?

Detach the keyboard from your Flow Z13 and flip the tablet portion over. On the bottom edge of the rear panel (near the kickstand) is a small silver regulatory sticker printed with the full chassis code — the four-character suffix after "GZ301" is the key: letters starting with Z mean 2022, letters starting with V mean 2023. If the sticker has worn off, open the Start menu, type "About your PC" and press Enter, then read the "Processor" line: a 12th Gen Intel Core chip (model number starts with "12") means you have a 2022 unit, while a 13th Gen Intel Core chip (starts with "13") means you have a 2023 unit.

✔ It's a Flow Z13 (2022) if…

  • The chassis code is GZ301ZA, GZ301ZC, or GZ301ZE
  • The CPU is an Intel Core i5-12500H, i7-12700H, or i9-12900H
  • The GPU is Intel Iris Xe, RTX 3050, or RTX 3050 Ti
  • The charger brick is rated 100W
  • The kickstand hinge has red accents

✔ It's a Flow Z13 (2023) if…

  • The chassis code is GZ301VF, GZ301VU, GZ301VV, or GZ301VI
  • The CPU is typically an Intel Core i9-13900H
  • The GPU is RTX 2050, RTX 4050, RTX 4060, or RTX 4070
  • The charger brick is rated 130W
  • The kickstand hinge has dark reflective purple accents (no red)

Don't confuse it with its ROG Flow siblings. The ROG Flow X13 (GV301) is a completely different laptop — it's an AMD Ryzen-based 13.4-inch convertible with a 360° hinge (not a detachable tablet), and its bottom sticker starts with GV301. The ROG Flow X16 (GV601) is a much larger 16-inch AMD-based 2-in-1. Your Flow Z13 covered on this page is a 13.4-inch detachable tablet with the transparent-window rear panel and a bottom sticker starting with GZ301. Still unsure? Follow our step-by-step guide to finding your ASUS laptop model number.

Core hardware configurations

Processor (CPU)

  • GZ301ZA (2022): Intel Core i5-12500H — 12 cores (4P + 8E), 16 threads, up to 4.5 GHz
  • GZ301ZC (2022): Intel Core i7-12700H — 14 cores (6P + 8E), 20 threads, up to 4.7 GHz

Memory (RAM)

  • GZ301Z (2022): LPDDR5-5200, soldered to the mainboard — non-upgradable, factory maximum 16GB
  • GZ301V (2023): LPDDR5-4800, soldered — non-upgradable, factory maximum 32GB (base SKUs still 16GB)
  • Because the RAM is soldered, the factory memory capacity is a major and permanent resale value driver

Storage

  • Single M.2 2230 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD slot (the compact 2230 form factor is dictated by the tablet chassis — the more common 2280 SSDs do not fit)
  • 256GB / 512GB / 1TB factory shipping capacities (maximum 1TB across both generations)
  • A dedicated access door on the rear panel allows SSD upgrades without full disassembly

Display & audio

Display

All Flow Z13 configurations use a 13.4-inch IPS touchscreen with 16:10 aspect ratio, 500 nits brightness, and support for the ASUS Pen 2.0 stylus (included in the box on most SKUs). The panel option splits by generation and tier: standard FHD+ (1920 × 1200) 120Hz on most SKUs; premium UHD+ (3840 × 2400) 60Hz Dolby Vision touchscreen on the GZ301ZE (2022 top-tier only); or the new QHD+ (2560 × 1600) 165Hz Nebula panel with 100% DCI-P3 and G-SYNC on the 2023 generation.

Audio

Dual side-firing speakers with Smart Amplifier technology and Dolby Atmos processing. Dual noise-cancelling microphones with AI-based two-way pickup for streaming and video calls.

Ports & connectivity

The Flow Z13's tablet form factor limits its port count, so ASUS built the chassis around a proprietary ROG XG Mobile Interface — a combined PCIe Gen3 x8 + USB-C connector that lets an XG Mobile external GPU dock unlock desktop-class RTX performance when plugged in.

Left Side
  • 1× ROG XG Mobile Interface + USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 combo port (proprietary PCIe connector for the ROG XG Mobile external eGPU dock; also functions as a standard USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with DisplayPort output)
  • 1× Thunderbolt 4 (USB4) USB Type-C port with DisplayPort output, Power Delivery, and G-SYNC support (this is the primary charging port — always use the included ASUS brick for full performance)
Right Side & Extras
  • 1× USB 2.0 Type-A (yes, USB 2.0 — a genuine limitation of the tablet form factor, not USB 3.x)
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack
  • 1× microSD card reader (UHS-II) (hidden behind the kickstand)

Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Bluetooth 5.2 Included ASUS Pen 2.0 stylus

Battery, build & more

Battery & charging

4-cell 56 Whr lithium-ion battery — the same capacity across both generations. The charger changes by generation: 2022 units ship with a 100W USB-C adapter, while 2023 units use a beefier 130W USB-C adapter to feed the RTX 40-series GPUs.

Cameras

Dual-camera setup: 5MP front-facing webcam with IR sensor for Windows Hello facial recognition, plus an 8MP rear-facing camera on the tablet back — an unusual feature that mirrors a smartphone/tablet layout.

Keyboard

Detachable backlit RGB chiclet keyboard folio (302 × 220 × 5.6 mm, 340 g) that magnetically snaps to the tablet's bottom edge via pogo pins. Includes a Precision touchpad. The keyboard folio also serves as the display cover when closed.

Cooling

Dual-fan cooling with a vapor chamber on the GZ301ZC/ZE (2022) and all 2023 SKUs. The base GZ301ZA uses copper heat pipes instead of a vapor chamber to hit a lower price point — a genuine spec asymmetry called out by ASUS.

Weight

≈ 1.18–1.20 kg (2.60–2.64 lb) for the tablet portion alone; add ≈ 340 g (0.75 lb) for the detachable keyboard folio.

Dimensions

302 × 204 × 12 mm (11.89" × 8.03" × 0.47") — thinner than most tablets, let alone gaming laptops.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find my exact Flow Z13 chassis code before requesting a quote?
Detach the keyboard folio from your Flow Z13 and turn the tablet portion around. On the bottom edge of the rear panel — right near the base of the kickstand — is a small silver regulatory sticker listing the full chassis code (for example, "GZ301VV-Z13.I94060"). If the sticker is worn or missing, open the Start menu, type "System Information," press Enter, and read the "System Model" line. The processor generation is your simplest confirmation: a 12th Gen Intel Core chip means a 2022 unit (GZ301Z-series suffix), while a 13th Gen chip means a 2023 unit (GZ301V-series suffix). For pictures showing exactly where the sticker sits, see our ASUS model number guide.
02 Is my device a Flow Z13 or a Flow X13? They sound almost the same.
The names sound alike but the machines are completely different, and picking the wrong one will produce a wrong quote. Your device is the Flow Z13 covered on this page if it's a tablet with a detachable keyboard and a kickstand on the back, its bottom sticker starts with GZ301, and it uses an Intel Core processor. The Flow X13 (GV301 / GV302) is a completely different laptop — it's a traditional clamshell convertible with a 360° hinge (not a detachable tablet), uses AMD Ryzen processors, and its sticker starts with GV301 or GV302. When in doubt, trust the sticker prefix and whether the keyboard detaches.
03 Can I sell a Flow Z13 with a cracked screen, dead battery, or missing accessories?
Yes. We buy the Flow Z13 in every functional state. The tablet form factor makes it more susceptible to drop damage than a traditional clamshell, so cracked touchscreens and dented corners are common on used units — neither disqualifies your device. The detachable keyboard folio and ASUS Pen 2.0 stylus are also common losses; missing accessories reduce your offer but do not disqualify the sale. Whether it works perfectly, has a cracked panel, missing keyboard, worn battery, or won't power on at all, simply select the matching condition and accessory options in the quote tool above and you'll see a firm cash offer that reflects the device as it is today.
04 How does trading in my Flow Z13 for cash actually work?
Many people don't realize that the Flow Z13 is one of the most sought-after used ASUS ROG devices on the secondhand market because so few gaming tablets exist as alternatives. Our trade-in process takes minutes: select your configuration and condition above to lock in an offer, ship the tablet (with any accessories) using our free, fully insured prepaid UPS label, and once our technicians verify the hardware, you're paid within two business days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or check. No auction listings, no haggling, no fees. For a broader look at where and how to sell a gaming laptop or tablet, see our gaming laptop trade-in guide, or read the full process on our how it works page.
05 Should I remove the SSD or wipe my data before shipping?
Please don't open the tablet. Even though the Flow Z13 has a dedicated SSD access door, the M.2 2230 slot uses tiny Torx screws and a delicate copper heatsink shim — DIY removal frequently bends the retention clip and reduces resale value. Instead, back up your game saves and personal files to the cloud or an external drive, sign out of your Windows, ASUS, Steam, and other accounts, and ship the tablet with the SSD installed. Our technicians perform certified, multi-pass data sanitization on every incoming drive. You can review the exact procedure on our data erasure protocols page.
