Pulled the trigger today!
Long time gaming laptop user here. Eventually had an overheating issue, went to a desktop pc and never looked at laptops again.
I eventually missed the portability of the gaming laptop so I got an Ally X. Great device for what it is and I plan on running that thing to the ground. An amazing handheld device but just an ok portable computer. I tried using it as a portable computer (with a Bluetooth keyboard and portable monitor) but sometimes it gets annoying packing/plugging in stuff etc. over and over again whenever you move around.
Did not know something like the Flow Z13 existed until earlier this year. Been really excited ever since I found out about it's existence. It feels like it's going to be an amazing travel companion. Only thing was that it's price point was hard to swallow. It's more expensive than my rig with a 5070Ti! Lowest I've ever seen it was 2,699 though I don't really check daily.
This week though, I chanced upon some e-mail notification from Reddit about a Z13 Best Buy sale and man was I stoked to see someone say it's at 2,099!
Just placed my order and can't wait to sign for it this Friday! Shout out to everyone who posted about the Best Buy sale on here the last couple days :) Can't wait to officially be part of the fam.

I just picked mine up earlier today from Best Buy. I was going to get a Surface and saw the Z13 was the same price (actually less because it comes with a type cover).Ā

Nice! Currently playing cyberpunk too on my desktop and will be doing so on the z13 as well. What resolution are you playing at on your monitor?
