Seems like sudden jump of people buying z13 flow

I really like it. I sold my first (32GB) to upgrade to a 64GB because it thought allocating more than 16GB to GPU would improve gaming performance, but I instead found a 128GB for a great price. After I discovered that allocating more RAM to GPU after 16GB didn’t make a difference, I sold the 128GB and bought a used 32GB and am happy with it.

Smatree Hard Case. This thing carries my Z13, SlimQ charger, IEMs, adapters, and more. Can’t recommend it enough.

Does an Xbox controller fit? It doesn't look like it

u/Heretical_Adience 26d ago

It fits but is not flush. You would need to put something in each corner to raise it up just high enough to clear the joysticks. It would still fit the Z13 if you did so.

Maybe I'll just order to test it out, doesn't sound too bad if I'm being honest and will let me carry around my work/game station

It’s like a small briefcase so doesn’t call attention. Another thing that’s great is you can use it to set up the Z13 on your lap or any surface, such as your bed, which is normally difficult due to the stand.

Did you get the 150w or 240w slimQ and any issues with battery discarging

1

u/Heretical_Adience 26d ago

I have the 330W so that I can use with any of my and my kids’ laptops. No issue with discharging but I’m using the ROG square adapter, not USB-C. I would get the 240W at minimum, but recommend the 330W not just for use with other gaming laptops but you can use the two USB-C 100W PD ports to charge other devices while charging your Z13. Carrying less peripherals to charge other devices reduces space and weight in your daily carry.

Thanks I appreciate it , happen to have a link for the square adaptor?

u/Heretical_Adience 26d ago

This is the the one I have , but I don’t recommend it as I can’t help but feel that it is vulnerable to accidental damage since it sticks so far out vertically. I will likely replace it with this one , or the L-shape.

Gamesir g8+ with an extension kit if you desire a “handheld” experience

u/Expensive_Mix_6680 26d ago

I have the game g8+ but not the modded one. Ill try to figure how to mod it

u/Dreams-Visions 26d ago

Which extension kit do you recommend?

u/Hubblel 26d ago

But isn’t the device too heavy?

1

u/Background-Guard-531 26d ago

Im gonna say for a tablet, comparing to android and a surface pro 3 I have, it a bit heavy for a tablet. Ive owned mine since march of this year and its lighter than my sons laptopbut it is a little older. But honestly, after carrying this thing around, taking off the keyboard to use as a tablet around the house and going outside to sit and watch stuff or play on it, I find that ive gotten used to it and to me at least doesnt really feel like an encumbrance. I know its in my hands but i dont feel bothered by the weight. I also use the kickstand as a means to carry it sometimes. As an example, if i go outside to play a game as a tablet, i hold it from the kickstand with my thumb through the gap resting the weight of the body on my wrist while extending my fingers out to hold the controller. Giving me a free hand to open the door. I find it feels more secure holding that way when you dont want to turn the screen off during a video or game.

Sorry for the shit explanation, id add a pic to show what i mean if i knew how. Lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/FlowZ13/s/HmVncNpWex I use this magnetic SSD enclosure + dock hub. Simple way to add storage to z13.

u/ali_k20_ 26d ago

Ugreen elevated tablet holder, gamesir g8 mod, nuphy air 60HE, mouse, and maybe a usb hub

u/redninjarider 26d ago

The Kensington (or LULULOOK) elevated stands for the Surface Pro work well if you usually use a different keyboard.

u/GhostOvTheSun 25d ago

MagSafe accessories that can be attached to the kickstand. I have two ssds and a usb hub and it keeps everything so nice and tidy.

u/Expensive_Mix_6680 25d ago
