The Flow X13 was the first member of the Flow family, and for 2023, it will also be one of the first machines to feature a 13-inch Nebula Display.
The device boasts an AMD Ryzen 9 Processor paired with a QHD 165Hz panel that is powered by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPU.
Moreover, the all-new Flow X13. Despite containing upgraded hardware, the Flow X13 is 10 mm smaller than the previous year’s model and retains its 15-inch keyboard layout while also enlarging the touchpad by 56%. The battery has also been upgraded to 75 Wh to provide more power on the go.
The device now supports up to 130W charging via a lightweight and portable USB-C adapter. The exterior has been redesigned with a unique wave pattern on the aluminum lid, which gets progressively thicker to add grip for easy carrying.
Also, the display features the new Corning Gorilla Glass DXC coating, which increases surface hardness by 40% and significantly reduces glare.
