The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is already one of the most capable portable gaming machines money can buy. Right now, it costs $900 less than it did last week.
Best Buy's 60th Anniversary Sale has the top-spec Flow Z13 (model GZ302EA-R9641TB) sitting at $2,099.99, down from its standard $2,999.99 list price. That configuration packs 64GB of LPDDR5X-8000 unified memory, a 1TB PCIe SSD, and AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor into a 2.6-pound convertible tablet chassis.

What the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 actually means for gaming
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is not a standard mobile chip. Built on Zen 5 with 16 cores and a boost clock up to 5.1GHz, it carries 80MB of total cache and an integrated Radeon 8060S GPU with 40 compute units running up to 2.9GHz. The chip's onboard NPU hits 50 TOPS on its own, with the full package delivering up to 126 TOPS for AI workloads.
Here's the thing: because the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 uses a unified memory architecture, that 64GB RAM pool is shared dynamically between the CPU and GPU. The Radeon 8060S can draw on far more graphics memory than any typical discrete mobile chip would allow, which is what lets a machine this thin actually run modern games at playable settings natively rather than streaming them from a server.
The 64GB model now costs the same as the 32GB version
The value comparison is what makes this deal stand out. The 32GB variant of the Flow Z13 normally retails around the same $2,100 mark, meaning the current sale effectively hands buyers double the memory at no extra cost. That gap matters in practice: more unified memory means the integrated GPU has a larger pool to work with, which translates directly to better frame rates and higher texture budgets at the same resolution.
The display backing all of this up is a 13.4-inch ROG Nebula IPS panel running at 2560x1600 with a 180Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass protection, and full touchscreen support. The chassis itself is CNC-machined aluminum with a stainless steel vapor chamber for cooling, and the built-in kickstand is what enables the switch between laptop and tablet orientations.
Best Buy's bigger sale picture
The Flow Z13 discount is one piece of a much larger promotional event. Best Buy's 60th Anniversary Sale spans a full week and includes discounts of up to $650 on laptops, monitors, and Xbox gear from brands including Lenovo, Dell, and Asus. The sale is US-only, so shoppers outside North America won't be able to claim this specific price through Best Buy directly.
If you're already deep in the ROG ecosystem, this pairs well with other Asus hardware on sale during the same window. For players who already own an ROG device and want to get the most out of it, the ChainStaff ROG Xbox Ally X settings guide is worth bookmarking for squeezing out the best performance from ROG portable hardware.
Who this machine is actually built for
The Flow Z13 is not a budget play even at $2,099.99. It targets players who want a machine that can handle demanding titles at home, then fold into a tablet for travel without giving up native performance for cloud streaming. The 2.6-pound weight and convertible form factor are the real pitch here, and at this price, the spec-per-dollar ratio is genuinely difficult to match in the portable gaming category.
The key here is that $900 off a $3,000 machine is not a marginal discount. It's the kind of markdown that moves the Flow Z13 from aspirational to attainable for a much wider group of buyers, and it won't stick around once the anniversary sale window closes.
