Although it is a 2in1 PC that is quite powerful on its own, there is an eGPU unit "ROG XG Mobile GC31" that can connect GeForce RTX 3080 (or RTX 3070) externally, and when used in combination, it is a separate style gaming PC that is even more powerful. becomes.

　This time, we have obtained an evaluation machine of ROG Flow 13 (GV301QH-R9G1650S32G), which is the top of the three domestic models, so let's focus on performance.

ROG FLOW X13 is a gaming mobile PC equipped with a 13.4-inch liquid crystal display. Since it is a 2in1 type, it can be used as a tablet style, and by connecting an eGPU unit with a built-in GeForce RTX 3080, you can get a more comfortable gaming experience

The ROG symbol is also casually expressedThe nominal body size of this product is about 299 (width) x 222 (depth) x 15.8 (thickness, excluding protrusions) mm, and the weight is The actual measurement was 1349g, which was the nominal value (about 1.35kg)It comes with a USB Power Delivery (PD) compatible AC adapter that supports a maximum output of 100W. The size is about 75 (width) x 75 (depth) x 30 (thickness) mm, which is a little large for a mobile PC, and weighs about 400g including a 3-pin power cable. The nominal battery life is about 9.1 hours

Equipped with powerful specs centered on the latest CPU Ryzen 9 5900HS

As mentioned at the beginning, the specs of this product are powerful.

　Using an 8-core 16-thread Ryzen 9 5900HS for the CPU, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (4GB graphics memory) as an external GPU. The memory is 32GB (LPDDR4X-4266) and the storage is 1TB PCI Express SSD. I'm surprised that such a powerful spec is packed into a body of about 1.35kg.

　It can be said that this spec was made possible by ROG's unique cooling mechanism, but the contribution of liquid metal grease is particularly large, and it is said that it has achieved a temperature drop of up to 10 degrees. While liquid metal has extremely high heat transfer efficiency, it is extremely difficult to handle, and one mistake can quickly lead to an accident. After trial and error, the company succeeded in developing a manufacturing technology that enables safe mass production.

By adopting liquid metal with excellent heat conduction efficiency, a high-performance CPU was installed in a slim bodyThe Ryzen 9 5900HS of the CPU adopted the Zen 3 architecture. It is the model that is positioned at the top of the latest model. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, an operating frequency of 3GHz to 4.6GHz, and a TDP of 35W. to be installed. Equipped with 4GB dedicated graphics memory1TB PCI Express (NVMe) SSD. The official specs list shows a PCI Express 3.0 x2 connection, but the evaluation machine had a Western Digital PC SN530 connected with PCI Express 3.0 x4CrystalDiskMark 8.0.1 (Mr. Hiyo Hiyo) Score. Fast enough for practical use

Next, let's take a look at the special LCD display and keyboard.
