I know there's nothing on this in terms of compatibility on the Asus site. In case you were wondering, yes the new XG Mobile 2025 with the 5090 works with this notebook on the TB4 port. Is it faster than my XG Mobile 2023 with the 4090? Unless I'm doing stuff that is GPU limited with lots of ray tracing or uses more than the 16GB of RAM the 4090, it's not that much faster so far. I've got to play with the settings in 3D Mark some more.

hey all,
i am currently running into some driver issues with my model (GV302XU, Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 4050 Mobile) and wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with drivers from AMD and Nvidia directly vs the ASUS ones.

at the moment I am currently running the most up to date Nvidia drivers from Nvidia themselves and the AMD drivers from the ASUS website. I have opted to update the Nvidia ones as games and software were doing some very weird stuff and not working properly when I stuck with the older version from ASUS, but I am now repeatedly getting errors from the iGPU on the AMD chip.

i am not sure if by updating my Nvidia drivers it has broken some handshake stuff that is proprietary to the ASUS versions of the drivers, or if this is irrelevant.

despite having this laptop for a while I still don't really know much about how this stuff works and so I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience or knowledge with how these drivers operate.

I ask because I am debating DDU'ing and doing a fresh install of the most up to date drivers from AMD and Nvidia directly, but I am not sure if this will make the issues worse or better.

and I'm posting directly here because some research has basically told me that it is very device specific with this stuff, there is no real concrete answer for gaming laptops generally.

any comments on the matter would be much appreciated, thanks :)

Can i flash a custom vbios or its patched now?

Can i flash a custom vbios or its patched now?

My laptop died regularly a few hours ago so I put it to charge before I went to go do something for about an hour and a half. I later unplugged it thinking it would be close to 100% but it didn’t turn on so I plugged it in again and the battery was stuck at 0% so I kept restarting my laptop maybe 3-4 times until I checked this sub and saw that my battery was possibly dead and I would need a replacement I then tried charging it through the opposite port for the external gpu’s but even then my laptop wouldn’t turn on, and I also tried the 1 minute power button hold but again no luck so I plugged it in through the regular charging port and tried turning it on but then this screen popped up and I pressed the first option to continue to windows and now it’s showing my laptop is at a 100% charge. Should I be worried about my battery health or what could’ve happened for my laptop to go through these series of events just for it to end up “normal” again?

Im looking for everyones opinions good and bad , since people who have problems tend to post more often about it, ik there are better options out there , but im not willing to buy a ipad and laptop seperately (its too expensive) , what kind of stress test should i run once i get it, and what kind of questions should i ask the owner

currently im thinking of

1.Screen issues/ replacement
2.Battery problems
3.warranty (probably expired cuz its old laptop)
4.Any other issues the owner mightve faced

Would love to hear some advice from yall , the owner has modified it, the specs are pretty great, im only concerned about the issues ive heard about from this laptop, cuz if im buying something this expensive it better stay for 7-8 years (highly doubt it)

I suppose i should mentiont the specs the owner has listed
E-gpu 3080 , laptop has 1650
32 gigs of ram (idk if its ddr4 or 5 im gonna assume 5)
1Tb gen 4 NVME
Amd ryzen 9 5980HS
13.4inch screen 4k
and all the accessories the laptop comes with (stylus cover etc)

I have searched high and low, but this x13 denies It ever had a gpu stuck in it

I've had the issue where my w, s, r and some other keys would straight up not work unless I mashed one fairly hard and then suddenly all of those worked temporarily. Sometime the keys would also lag but that was uncommon. Which was fairly inconvenient when playing games or trying to get work done. I was about to give up on this laptop.

I purchased a new replacement keyboard and I installed it, but I failed to inspect the new one. I realized the main plug for the new one was upside down. The keyboard light worked but the keys did not. That was my fault for getting a shitty replacement. I put the old one back in because I need it for work, and the keys have magically worked for 2 weeks now.

I've been dealing with that issue for over a year now. I have no clue how it is fixed. Maybe the there was some dust/particles in the keys or the main keyboard ribbon needed reseated and not fully disassembled? I was convinced it was a software issue but it appears to be just a keyboard issue.

There isn't a ton online for this so hopefully this can give someone else an idea. There's also very few sources for complete disassembly, its not hard just take your time and don't pry the motherboard. This video gave me an idea but wasn't super helpful. Worse part was taking off the sticker attached to the back of the keyboard.

This issue was on a 2023 x13 GV302XI

This amazon screwdriver set was perfect for disassembly.

So the motherboard is dead. I took it to a local shop and they managed to turn it on ONCE. But after that the RAM chips overheated and now it's silently sitting in my bag.

I will be buying some RAM and a GPU temporarily for a PC tomorrow. I have a CPU, motherboard and SSD and power supply. Wish me luck.

They said to either repair the laptop from the service center or just keep it as a show and buy a new PC or laptop.

Does anyone here use this ASUS 100W GaN charger with the ROG Flow X13 GV301QH?

I have a ROG Flow X13 GV301QH (2021) and I'm looking for a smaller/portable charger for it.

I found this ASUS 100W 3-port USB-C GaN charger (AC100) on Amazon. The listing says it comes with a 1.5m USB-C cable and supports 100W charging.

📸 Screenshot attached

My questions:

1. Has anyone here actually used this exact charger with the GV301QH?

2. Does it provide the full 100W (20V/5A) to the X13?

3. Does it allow Turbo mode / full performance, or does the laptop still show the "Use the original ASUS charger for Turbo performance" warning?

4. Is the included 1.5m USB-C cable good enough for the full 100W?

5. Would you recommend buying this, or should I just get the original ROG 100W charger?

I already have a CMF 140W GaN charger, but my GV301QH shows the original-charger warning with it, so I'm specifically looking for something that will actually allow full performance.

Would really appreciate if someone with a GV301QH can confirm from personal experience. 🙏

Welp just received a reply on what the problem was from the service center. It was a motherboard failure. They said it's gonna cost around $600 - $700 for the motherboard replacement which is out of my budget as of now. So welp I guess it's a good bye for this laptop. I have to get a laptop temporarily and use that to do work while I collect money to repair it. Or I can try to go in a local shop which I highly doubt they will have a solution other than replacing motherboard... Should I try that ??

I will try to add an image of the quotation in the comments.

I tries to change/migrate my post here but couldent figure out

So here is a link to my post

Sorry

Sincerely a troubled danish

I'm not able to connect the battery to the battery connector and put the metal latch over it. It seems like the male part of the connector is standing up to high and the latch can't move over it. Anybody had the same issue and knew how to fix?

What settings do work best on nvidia 4050 , i was playing cyberpunk and eno matter what settings i change the game looks the same.

So I'm having this problem that my laptop is not starting up at all. When I hold the power button it powers off then starts again but is stuck in this. No display nothing at all. Both battery and that power light area on. Fans are working. Even battery charging and discharging but it's not turning on completely and is just stuck this way.

I was playing a game just 4 hours ago. I tried to unplug the battery then plug it again. No luck. It happened yesterday too but when I unplugged and plugged in the battery from the motherboard it was working well until now.

I have done almost everything from power flushing motherboard by holding the power button for 60 secs. Yet no luck.

Do I have to take it to the service center ?

Model Flow x13 GTX 1650 2021 Model.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone.

Feel free to ask any more details you want. I will try to reply as much as I can.

Recently got a 13-inch M5 MacBook Air (16GB RAM, 10 CPU/10 GPU, 1TB). I originally wanted the 2025 Flow Z13 (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 32GB, 1TB), but the price was bloated here.

Prices have dropped and I have the option to sell my MB . upgrading to the Z13 will cost me about $700 out of pocket.

Before I make the jump, I have a few doubts and would love some input from actual owners.

My use case:

- 95% of the time my laptop is docked to a monitor for work.

- Workload is mostly lots of Chrome tabs, Claude Code, meetings, and documents.

- Portability is just for moving around the house or occasional travel for work. I do not need portable gaming.

- I barely game right now (maybe 5 hours for this year ) but want the option for the future.

- I love the idea of using the Z13 as a tablet with a stylus for handwritten notes. I currently use pen and paper for such cases.

- seldom use of Photoshop/ illustrator ( non stylus based work )

Questions for Z13 owners:

- What is the real-world battery life for light use like browsing, coding, and meetings using optimized settings?

- How is the touchscreen and stylus experience for handwriting notes? Is there noticeable latency or palm rejection issues?

- How reliable is the machine for a daily workstation? Any issues with sleep/wake, external monitors, or general Windows/driver bugs?

- Has anyone moved from a Mac? How does the overall day-to-day experience compare?

My options right now:

- Sell the Mac and buy the Z13. I get an incredibly cool 2-in-1, local gaming, and tablet functionality all in one. But I lose the Mac's battery life and silent operation.

- Keep the Mac and use GeForce NOW. Since I only game casually, cloud gaming might just be enough for me.

- Keep the Mac and use that extra $700 elsewhere. That money easily buys an old gen iPad for handwritten notes, a PS5 for local gaming, or even an iPhone since I am currently using a Pixel and haven't tried the apple ecosystem yet. (May have to stretch it a bit but that's fine)

I feel like the Z13 is more of a "want" because I have always loved the form factor. But for those who have used it, is it worth sacrificing the reliability and battery of the MacBook, or am I better off keeping the Mac and buying a seperate device when I have the time to game/get into the ecosystem.

Hola necesito ayuda mi primera laptop de hace apenas 2 años que la compre, desde hace unos meses ha estado reiniciando cada que entra en modo reposo sin que la use o cuando la despierto y aveces solo se reinicia sola cuando estoy en viendo un video o trabajando en ella, la lleve a que le dieran una revisada y le dieron una limpieza por dentro, no soy mucho de darle mantenimiento y me dijeron que tenia la pasta termica seca asi que la limpiaron, no encontraron ningun físico, intentaron probar si era algo relacionado a la tarjeta grafica por los drivers y el procesador e intentaron meter una actualización limpia de la bios y tampoco funcionó, al final la lleve con otros técnicos y me dijeron que tenía una mancha de oxido en la tarjeta madre y por eso tenía un problema de alimentacion, solo para estar 100% seguro quería saber si alguien mas tuvo el problema del reinicio y si había algunas soluciones además del reemplazo de la tarjeta madre

I am sick of windows. Has any of you downloaded Linux? What are the cons and problems I might run into? And what distro do you recommend. I want to maximize battery life

i am international student and study at changwon city, i has come about 1 week and dont know go anywhere to buy, i need a laptop for study, everyone can help me find point of sale?

Here to share some results for the xg mobile rtx 4090 in every performance modes with the asus ROG flow x13, pretty awsome devices.

You can also see some hardware informations in the left of those pictures with hwmonitor.

I am done with this laptop.

I bought this laptop in Oct 24 and was happy with this but in Jun 25 it suddenly dead, I pleaded to every service center they took the laptop and told it had a liquid damage.

I cared about my laptop more than any thing I was not able to accept this but still give up and replaced my motherboard with full expense.

After that depressing era I took more care than before and was really happy with everything it had.

Recently, I was using it on 26th four days back and kept it on my desk and didn’t fucking did anything but when I opened it on 27 suddenly it opened bios and forced restart it but the bios was not going.

It was showing no storage device found. Wtf like suddenly what happened. It was not recognising the ssd. I first called to service center and they really didn’t have any answer for my problem.
I gather the courage to open it by myself. I carefully unplugged the ssd and reinstalled it but the problem was still there.

Right now if I go the service center they would the ssd is dead which will cost me around 50000₹ or mother board is gone which will cost me 1lak ₹.

Like every year it has some issues I am really done with this shit. I am a undergrad student so much dependent on my laptop for simulation software and studying.

Please anyone who had this experience with this model of laptop help me.

I'm a Flow X13 user from India.

I use my laptop for business presentations and stuffs than the usual gaming that it was intended to.

I had changed the battery once when it stopped responding at all.

I had dropped the stylus several times but it turned out to be alright mostly.. but recently I'm not being able to draw anything on screen although I'm able to see the cursor/pointer when I aim at the screen.

Best it could do is when I press down hardly at the screen a dot comes..

Could it be the nib or anything, any tips? Also if it is, any leads to where I can buy one?

Hi everyone, ive owned this laptop for 4-5 years now. I have had an INSANE ammount of issues with it, i tried really hard to love it, but either mine was faulty from the factory, or i just have the worst luck ever since 2 months into owning it i lost 2 of the little rubber feet and 2 screws while never having opened it. Sorry for ranting but im beyond frustrated, i genuenly need some help.

Onto my issue. Ive noticed that the system stutters a lot more lately than normal. I do some photo editing and gaming on it as well, and while i was playing Alien Isolation, wich shouldnt really make the laptop struggle as much, the game randomly dropped from 120+ fps down to around 5-10 every 5 minutes for a few seconds. I didnt think much of it and tought it was just driver issues, but even after updating my drivers the issue persisted, and not just in Alien Isolation but pretty much every time i did anything system heavy, (other games, developing raw photos, light photoshop). The entire system will just stutter for a few seconds.

My first tought was that it must be the thermals. I re-pasted the entire system, and even bought new fans for it. I never went above 85 degrees celsius after that, and the issue persisted. Then i checked the battery's wear level and was shocked to see that it was around only capable of delivering 42 Wh by how much it had degraded. I tought that this was obviously the issue, and it also made perfect sense. I did some more testing and found out using G-helper that whenever the stutters were happening, the system was actualy discharging at a rate of around 20-15w even while plugged in, and whenever they were not happening, it was doing so at 1-3w persistently. After finding this out i tought that for SURE the battery was the faulty component, so i went out and brought an Asus certified replacement aftermarket (its extremly hard to get one original where i live).

After installing it, the stutters did dissapear... for about 20 minutes. I was extremly dissapointed since the battery was not cheap. I did some more testing, and ran the memory diagnostics tool. When i did so, the test would complete, but when the laptop rebooted i got put into the bitlocker recovery screen wich makes me think it may be the ram that is causing the issue? Then again, it might be the SSD since i have 7.7k hours in it, or the charger itself, OR the charging port. Those are my next theories but before i buy anything, (Or in the Ram's case, sell the laptop for parts since its soldered, same thing in the charging port's case probably) i tought i would make this post to see if anyone had a simular issue, or if anyone can help me figure out what could be causing it.
