The ASUS ROG Flow X13, being more expensive, offers superior portability, a higher resolution touchscreen with better color coverage, and a more compact design, which might be beneficial for general usage and any work involving graphics. It also features slightly better performance for general, 3D rendering, and engineering uses. In contrast, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 costs less, has a larger screen with a lower resolution that does not support touch, and offers longer battery life but is heavier and bulkier, making it less portable. Both have similar processing power and are suitable for gaming, with RGB keyboard lighting on the TUF F15 for gaming aesthetics. Give Feedback

Sebastian Bade | February 2021
"The Asus ROG Flow X13 is not an off-the-shelf convertible. This quickly becomes clear when you take a closer look at the technical specs. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a state-of-the-art SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads, which also makes the 2-in-1 interesting as a work device. With 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, gamers are also well taken care of. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q fits well into the overall concept and ensures a solid 3D performance. With the eGPU dock, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080, the small convertible transforms into a full-fledged desktop replacement in terms of performance."

"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
