In March 2022, Microsoft Indonesia announced that they would officially present PC Game Pass services to several Southeast Asian regions, such as; Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam for the first time.

Along with the announcement, gamers are now able to register to enjoy the PC Game Pass service during the preview period which gives access to more than 100 high-quality games including all games from Xbox Game Studios, a number of iconic Bethesda games, and an EA Play membership with one affordable monthly rates. In fact, there are various kinds of game genres that you can choose according to your wishes. Even Microsoft will always add a number of new games every time, so there are always new games that you can play!

PC Game Pass x ASUS ROG Flow Z13

In line with Microsoft, ASUS ROG has also created a device that fully supports the PC Game Pass service, namely through a laptop as well as a gaming tablet called the ASUS ROG Flow Z13. Introduced in April 2022, the ROG Flow Z13 appears as an innovative gaming laptop with a design that has never been adopted by any gaming laptop, namely the detachable 2-in-1. This design allows ROG Flow Z13 to be present as a very flexible gaming laptop or can be used in many usage scenarios, including playing all the games available on the PC Game Pass service.

ROG Flow Z13 itself is a laptop that has been powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core H Series processor that uses Intel 7-based processing. Unlike the previous generation, the 12th generation Intel Core processor uses a core configuration consisting of Performance Core (P-core) and Efficient Core (E-core). As the name implies, the high-performance P-core is tasked with processing heavy tasks. On the other hand, the E-core is tasked with running light tasks but is very efficient and doesn't consume a lot of power.

The combination of P-Core and E-Core produces a hybrid processor that has very high processing capabilities and is optimal for gaming and content creation while being able to perform very efficiently and save power. Not surprisingly, the highest processor in the 12th Gen Intel Core H Series family, namely the Intel Core i9-12900H, holds the title as the fastest mobile processor today thanks to the configuration of 14 cores (6 P-cores and 8 E-cores) and 20 threads capable of driven up to 5GHz.

The concept carried by ROG Flow Z13 is basically allowing you to be able to play games anywhere and anytime. To accommodate these needs, this gaming laptop must of course be powered by powerful hardware. No wonder the ROG Flow Z13 is powered by the latest generation of CPU and GPU.

Supporting Specifications for Playing AAA Games on PC Game Pass

In terms of specifications, ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is equipped with processors up to 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H, ROG Flow Z13 is also equipped with GPUs up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti with TGP up to 40W. This latest generation GPU from NVIDIA has been able to deliver an extraordinary gaming experience at full HD resolution.

But if you want faster performance, ASUS ROG has also presented a special external GPU device called ROG XG Mobile. This device can deliver the maximum gaming experience at the highest resolution and graphics settings on the ROG Flow Z13.

The ROG XG Mobile device is the world's best external GPU solution. Unlike the usual external GPU solutions, ROG XG Mobile uses a dedicated port as its connection. The port is directly connected to the PCIe x8 data line.

MUX feature

ROG Flow Z13 also comes with various features that make the gaming experience even better, one of which is the MUX Switch. MUX Switch is a special chip that can regulate the path of visual data displayed on the laptop screen. Through the MUX Switch, the visual data path from the discrete graphics chip can be transferred directly to the laptop screen without having to go through the processor and integrated graphics chip.

MUX Switch itself is very useful when ROG Flow Z13 works using the discrete graphics chip embedded in it, as well as when playing games. Because visual data can now be displayed directly from the discrete graphics chip, in-game performance can also be displayed better. Performance improvements in games using MUX Switch can reach 10-30%.

Compact and Portable

With a 13-inch screen, ROG Flow Z13 also has a thickness of 12mm and weighs 1.1kg. The ROG Flow Z13 also features a "kickstand" on the back of the main body. The kickstand functions so that the main body of the laptop is positioned in a standing position and makes it easier for users. If you want to use it as a laptop, you can connect the ROG Flow Z13 keyboard to the bottom of the body. The installation process is also very easy because it uses a magnetic system.

In addition to a very thin screen bezel, ROG Flow Z13 also does not have a hinge because it uses a detachable design. The space to accommodate the hinge is fully utilized to accommodate various other components. In the end, the research and development team at ASUS ROG succeeded in designing a very compact motherboard complete with a special cooling system.

Stay Cool Even When You're Gaming

ROG Flow Z13 comes with a special vapor chamber in the cooling system. Unlike the heat pipe, which can only transfer heat from the main component to the heatsink, the vapor chamber has the extra function of releasing heat directly. Thanks to the use of a vapor chamber, the cooling process of the main components in the ROG Flow Z13 can be carried out actively or passively.

ROG Flow Z13 also uses the new Arc Flow Fan which has a dedicated 84 blades. ASUS also uses a Variable Blade Thickness design that makes each fan blade has a varying thickness. The special and innovative cooling system in ROG Flow Z13 makes this detachable 2-in-1 laptop perform not only powerful, but also very stable for long-term gaming. This cooling system is also what allows the ROG Flow Z13 to become a portable console machine.
