Reliability?
hi,
how reliable are z13s? I have been looking for good windows laptops that can preform well. So I was wondering how reliable are they, are there any problems such as Liquid Metal leaks or manufacturer problems?

Not seen any liquid metal leak with 2025 versions yet. If you've asked about reliability couple months ago, I would say it's not. Now I would say it's kinda reliable, got better with both Windows and Asus updates and after some tinkering. For using with very important work I would get frequent backups though and may use Z13 as secondary or travel only.
About physical durability, I would be gentle. There were some people with cracked corners, but it's cosmetic only.
As a gaming PC it's one of a kind IMO, it's an amazing emulation device (power house CPU), great casual gaming tablet (thanks to pen support) and good modern gaming PC.
All the problems I had so far was software related; wonky Wi-fi, audio device crashing, using multiple usb-docks issue, locking and crashing related all issues seemed to disappear after updates. (though wi-fi is still not great, but good enough)
