For a balance of performance and versatility, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is a strong contender. It offers a high-performance Intel i9 processor and a dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU, making it suitable for demanding tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering work. Its 165Hz refresh rate and 225.29 PPI also cater to fast-motion content and detailed visuals, though it comes at a higher price point. The detachable keyboard provides flexibility between laptop and tablet use, and it has a good port selection, including Thunderbolt 4. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 presents a more cost-effective option with a midrange price and a robust Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor paired with an Adreno 750 GPU, which should handle general use and light gaming well. Its OLED display boasts vibrant colors and deep blacks with a high contrast ratio, and the 2-in-1 convertible design offers tablet functionality. However, it may not match the ASUS in terms of raw gaming or engineering performance due to its less powerful GPU. Consider the ASUS if you prioritize top-tier performance and are willing to pay more for it, especially for tasks that benefit from a dedicated GPU. Opt for the Samsung if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option with an exceptional display and still want the versatility of a 2-in-1 device, but don't require the highest performance for intensive tasks.

Andreas Osthoff | March 2022
"The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a gaming tablet with powerful Alder Lake i9 CPU. The ROG Flow Z13 impresses with its good cooling. After our review, the impression is predominantly positive. Besides a very fast Alder Lake CPU and stable gaming performance, especially the cooling system is surprisingly effective and quiet. You can use the integrated speakers without any issues while gaming. The 1200p display in the 16:10 format also impresses with good color reproduction and high brightness. Since the battery runtimes aren't particularly long as it is, we wouldn't recommend the optional 4K panel."
