Asus today launched two new products in the ROG and TUF series lineup. The Asus ROG Flow Z13 2-in-1 gaming tablet PC and the 2022 TUF Dash 15 have been launched in India. The former was officially unveiled internationally back in January this year during CES 2022.
ROG’s latest addition aims to provide a mix of productivity and gaming in a portable form factor. Like other Asus TUF series laptops, the Dash F15 comes with a redesigned form factor. However, you still get the same military standard protection with the chassis. Both of the products go on sale today and are available from the company’s online store, Amazon and other offline retail partners.
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a portable 2-in-1 gaming tablet PC. The form factor of the system is almost the same as an iPad and comes with a detachable backlit keyboard accessory and stylus. You also get a 170° hinge that allows the device to be kept flat on the surface and is ideal for creators. The device features Intel’s 12th generation i9 chipset and is clubbed with the NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti graphic card.

The unique feature of the Asus ROG Flow Z13 is the presence of a MUX Switch. This allows the system to bypass all graphical load off the CPU and directly to the GPU. It allows the GPU to provide a boost in performance, but at the expense of battery life.
