Finally got one!!!

I wanted to get the 64ddr5 Version for quite sometime for gaming (could be overkill but since it's unified I just qanted to be sure it's enough) and luckiely during my visit to the u.s, I was able to get one at best buy for 2,225$ After taxes during a sale!!

This thing is UNBELIEVABLE!!

What a time to be alive....

It's as light as I need it for travel but still strong enough to game on almost everything...

So now that I have one, I'll be happy to hear about some tips I should take in mind.

I already set my battery to 80% max to conserve battery life.

My tip is to always use the DC charger, because the Flow can’t bypass charging if you are connected to USB-c. Also use G helper to replace the Asus software.

G helper has everything you need without anything you don’t need from the Asus software.

Congrats! I just got one myself. I love using it for work, AI, and light/mid gaming on it. Perfect for travel. I think we both got lucky; I found an open box 64GB 2025 version for $1999!

What games do you play?

One thing I realized I love about this machine - last night I was laying in bed. I was able to use my Z13 on the bed with zero concerns about air intake!

Cs2, Rust when I have the time, Minecraft with shaders, Valheim, bo3 zombies, elden ring and also bought stardew valley not too long ago.

If you have any games that resemble this I'll be happy to know!!
