For this week only, Best Buy has dropped the price on a compact convertible laptop that also happens to be a gaming powerhouse. You can pick up an open box “excellent condition” Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming laptop with 64GB of RAM for $1,961.99 with free shipping. Buying it brand new would cost $1,000 more. The Asus Flow Z13 (in tablet mode) isn’t that much bigger than a handheld gaming PC, but it boasts way better gaming performance that rivals full-sized laptops.
Save $1,000 Off an Open Box Asus ROG Flow Z13 Laptop
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a 13.4″ 2-in-1 convertible laptop that weighs in at only 2.65 pounds. The keyboard can be detached so that the Z13 can also be used as a tablet. A premium laptop deserves premium build quality, and the Flow Z13 doesn’t disappoint with a blacked out CNC aluminum alloy chassis and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus screen protection. But really though, it’s the internal components that make this laptop truly special.
This particular configuration is equipped with a 13.4″ 2560×1600 180Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 CPU with AMD Radeon 8060S iGPU, 64GB of LPDDR5X-8000Mhz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Radeon 8060S is a technological marvel of an iGPU. It’s far and away the most powerful integrated graphics solution on the market and nearly the same gaming performance as a discrete RTX 5060 mobile (faster than an RTX 4060 mobile).
We recently reviewed this laptop and highly recommend it. On another note, our test sample had 32GB of RAM and was priced at $2,300. You’re getting double the RAM for a lower price. Because the RAM is soldered onto the board, there’s no chance to upgrade the memory capacity. That’s why the 64GB of RAM preinstalled on this particular configuration is a welcome addition. RAM prices are still at an all-time high, so the fact that there’s a steep discount on such a loaded system makes this deal even better than it seems.
