ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces 2025 ROG Flow Z13 is now available in Canada
This 13-inch tablet boasts a stunning ROG Nebula Display, a 2.5K resolution 180Hz touchscreen with 500 nits of peak brightness, and Corning ® Gorilla ® Glass 5 protection. The Flow Z13 now also features a larger 70Wh battery, a larger touchpad and keycaps, and a convenient Command Center button for quick access to vital system functions. With dual USB-C ® ports, both of which support USB4 ® and power delivery, as well as a dedicated HDMI ® 2.1 port, the Flow Z13 lets gamers leave their dongles at home.
Power efficiency reimagined
Inside ROG Flow Z13 is AMD's new Ryzen ™ AI Max processors with Radeon 8060S Graphics. With 16 high-performance Zen 5 CPU cores and 40 compute units worth of RDNA 3.5 graphics on the same processor, the Z13 has the muscle for both intense multitasking and heavyweight gaming. The RDNA 3.5 GPU cores power gaming performance that rivals dedicated graphics, with the added benefit of drawing significantly less power, making it the perfect choice for a gaming tablet. The Z13 's processor also boasts 50 TOPS of NPU performance, making it a certified Copilot+ PC that offers incredible versatility with built-in AI features and tools.
Unified quad channel memory
With both the CPU and GPU cores sharing a single processor die, the ROG Flow Z13 is able to utilize a unified memory structure, allowing for incredible flexibility and versatility. Traditional gaming laptops and tablets have a dedicated CPU and GPU, both with distinct pools of RAM that can't be shared. The Flow Z13 has one large pool of memory that can be allocated to the Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 compute cores dynamically, giving gamers access to plentiful VRAM in modern games and excellent performance in other memory intensive tasks when not gaming.
With 32GB of ultra-high speed LPDDR5X 8000MHz RAM gives gamers plenty of memory for even the most demanding games and applications, all shared dynamically as needed for a seamless experience. This quad-channel memory configuration offers maximum bandwidth and minimal latency, offering both the CPU and GPU cores the most performance possible.
With a dedicated NPU, a high-performance GPU, and the ability to allocate up to 24GB of VRAM, the Flow Z13 is the ultimate portable workstation. Capable of running a larger language model locally, the Z13 is ready for any advanced AI task. Another variant of the ROG Flow Z13 is available in other markets featuring an impressive 128GB of memory. This allows for up to 96GB of VRAM allocation, enabling seamless local execution of large 70B language models locally with ease.
Revamped cooling
The 2025 ROG Flow Z13 features a brand-new vapor chamber, now built with lightweight stainless steel and copper and offering 54% more coverage of the mainboard compared to the previous generation design. Larger intake vents and dual 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans help push exhaust air through ultrathin 0.1mm heatsink fins that are extra-efficient without adding bulk to the machine. As a tablet, the Flow Z13 houses all of its heat-producing components behind the display and rarely sits flat on a table, with a standing design granting ample access to fresh air and a natural cooling advantage compared to gaming laptops.
The Flow Z13 features a redesigned routing for air from the pair of 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans, diverting a small amount to a specially designed channel behind the touchscreen to keep the user's skin temperatures lower during use. In addition, integrated dust filters help keep hair and debris out of the machine, keeping the Z13 's cooling system reliable for years to come.
Brilliant visuals
This compact 13-inch laptop boasts a gorgeous high-resolution 2.5K and 180Hz refresh rate Nebula Display, for incredibly immersive games and video content. Corning ® Gorilla ® Glass 5 protects the touchscreen from accidental knicks and scratches. With 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and 500 nits of peak brightness, this ROG Nebula Display is ready to light up the gaming world.
More ports and features than ever
Despite its svelte size, the 2025 ROG Flow Z13 stands ready to become the centerpiece of any gaming battle station. Featuring dual USB-C ports, both of which support USB4, DisplayPort ™ 1.4 output, and power delivery, the Z13 offers incredible flexibility for any devices and peripherals. It also sports a dedicated HDMI 2.1 port, a USB Type-A port, a microSD card reader, and an audio combo jack. The Flow Z13 is the only tablet that truly allows gamers to leave their dongles behind.
ROG Flow Z13 now sports a much larger 70Wh battery, when combined with the power efficiency of AMD's Ryzen ™ AI processors, gives gamers more battery life than ever before. A larger touchpad and individual keycaps offer a more comfortable typing experience. And as a final touch, a brand-new Command Center button allows for seamless access to vital system functions, essential for any tablet.

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights Intel, NVIDIA, AMD and Cadence Design Systems
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – August 15, 2025 – announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Intel Corp. INTC, NVIDIA Corp. NVDA, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. AMD and Cadence Design Systems, Inc. CDNS. Here are highlights from Thursday's Analyst Blog: Should You Buy Intel Stock After President Trump's CEO Praise? Intel Corp. has laid out bold strategies for its turnaround as it faces stiff competition from the likes of NVIDIA Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. in the artificial intelligence (AI) data center market. Amid these developments, President Donald Trump's inconsistent stance on Intel CEO has drawn investors' interest toward the semiconductor giant. Is it time for investors to adopt a bullish outlook on Intel stock? Let's see – Trump's Admiration for Tan – What It Means for INTC Investors Last month, Cadence Design Systems, Inc. acknowledged committing a crime by unlawfully exporting semiconductor design tools to a manufacturer in China that has connections to the Chinese military. Cadence agreed to pay $140 million for violating U.S. export controls. On Aug. 8, Republican Senator Tom Cotton noted that when these transfers took place, Intel's current CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, was leading Cadence. Trump learned of Cotton's letter shortly afterward and urged Tan to step down immediately. However, on Aug. 7, Tan responded to Cotton's letter, calling it misinformation, and reaffirmed his commitment to U.S. security interests. He met with Trump at the White House, where he verified that Intel's investments are in harmony with the President's expressed goals. In reaction, Trump commended Tan's achievements, referring to his success and ascent as an "amazing story." Trump also endorsed Tan's leadership role at Intel. This is positive news for Intel investors. If Tan had to resign, it could have caused further turmoil at Intel during a critical period. Let's not forget, Tan is a well-known venture capitalist, respected for his expertise in the semiconductor industry. Is a Turnaround for Intel Probable Soon? Intel's business has been struggling for quite some time. Despite Tan's initial initiatives to restore stability at Intel, the company reported total revenues of $12.9 billion for the second quarter, almost flat with the year-ago levels. Its revenues from subsidiaries such as Altera and Mobileye may have increased, but its product revenues fell 1% to $11.8 billion in the second quarter. Revenues from the foundry business rose. However, the segment reported an operating loss of $3.2 billion in the second quarter. It's worse than the $2.8 billion loss that the segment posted a year ago. Intel's gross margin remained under pressure as it reported $4.5 billion in capital expenditure (capex) to scale its foundry business. It ended the quarter with $50.7 billion in debt. On the other hand, cash and short-term investments accounted for only $21.2 billion. However, under Tan's strong leadership, Intel is exploring strategies to cut costs and enhance profit margins. Tan is optimizing the management team and reducing the workforce to lower operating expenses. Additionally, Tan is scaling back capital expenditures, having already canceled fabrication facilities in Germany and Poland, and plans to slow down the construction of a new plant in Ohio. Intel is planning to provide a full-stack AI solution, including graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs). Intel is embracing its new 18A process at its manufacturing facilities, which will serve a minimum of three generations of its clients. Additionally, the company is securing a major customer for its 14A node. While all these ambitious initiatives may not lead to a quick turnaround for Intel, as shown by the latest quarterly results, they will eventually have a positive effect on the company's business. In time, the semiconductor giant has the potential to regain its former glory. Should You Buy INTC Stock Now or Wait a While? Trump's support for Tan and his efforts to improve operations, provide a competitive AI platform, and divest assets should motivate stakeholders to remain invested in Intel stock. Furthermore, Intel's price-to-book (P/B) ratio is slightly above 0.9, indicating that the stock has a limited risk of decline and potential for gains in the future. However, new investors should remain passive and watch for meaningful progress. This is because it's too early to predict the potential success of Tan's initiatives, and Intel's financials merely show improvement. For now, Intel has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
